Toyota’s Land Cruiser is a legendary off-roader that’s right up there with the very best. Since 1951, Toyota has been churning out the Land Cruiser or ‘Rando-Kuruza’ in Japanese. The Land Cruiser has seen use on all seven continents, including Antarctica. Chances are, you will encounter one in almost every country. 2021 sees the latest J300 series enter the market which brings yet more luxury, refinement, and capability; however, it will not be sold in North America. Hence, this J200-series 2017 Land Cruiser VX-R from Colorado with 25,000 miles on the clock is the last of a kind. If you’re looking for a go-anywhere yet refined V8 off-roader to carry the entire family plus the dog, and a healthy dose of Japanese reliability to boot, step right this way!
Exterior and Interior
The Land Cruiser has been produced as a station wagon, cab chassis, convertible, and pickup truck during its seventy year history. This 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser VX-R maintains the iconic silhouette of its predecessors. The platform and overall design cues are shared with the Lexus LX570, and sits on a shortened second-generation Tundra platform. This clean white example looks great, but the beauty of a Land Cruiser is, it looks equally as good with gleaming paintwork as it does post-mud bath. Double-five-spoke 18-inch Toyota alloys wrapped in meaty Michelin tires complete the look. The tailgate is a split-opening design where only the top half can be opened if desired. The interior features a Saddle Brown color scheme and seats up to seven occupants. The third row can be folded up for more luggage space. Creature comforts include a four-zone climate control, full infotainment system with navigation, rear screens, USB/AUX ports and 14-speaker JBL Synthesis sound system, heated steering wheel, electric, heated and cooled front seats and heated second row seats. A sunroof is also present.
Engine
This 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser VX-R comes with a brawny 5.7L (348ci) 3UR-FE gasoline V8 engine that puts out 381hp and 401lb.ft of torque to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission and four wheel drive system that includes high and low ranges, as well as Toyota’s CRAWL system that helps the vehicle maintain a steady speed off-road. It’s also got downhill cruise control, multi-terrain ABS that works with the disc brakes on all wheels, Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, and is rated to tow up to 3,700kg (8,200lb).
Inspection
The Toyota Land Cruiser is Toyota’s longest-produced and arguably most popular model. This iconic 4x4 has reached nearly every spot on the globe, and is widely renowned for its toughness, capability and reliability. It’s no surprise that Land Cruisers can be seen in a variety of wilderness settings, on scientific expeditions, and even in the capable hands of adventurers. One of the series’ most cherished examples is the J40. Made between 1960 and 1984, there were J40s being built in Brazil as recently as 2001! The J40’s iconic design and spartan but capable mechanicals make it a cult favorite. So here’s a 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 for sale, with a mere 64,639 miles traveled. It’s a great addition to your garage for those trips into the great outdoors, as well as a classic that will only appreciate in value as time goes by. Heck, when today’s newfangled EVs conk out in a decade or two, this FJ40 will still chug on as long as there’s dino juice to feed it.
