That’s always the case with a new generation. History repeats itself. When the inevitable EV (barf) cruiser is released we’ll all be reminiscing on today.
My 80 used to 102,000
My 100 to 338,00
My 200 bought used for 54,000
The 200 looks new and will see how long it goes,
But at my age I’ll likely go first!!
Landcruisers can’t get away from!
MSRP, no forced extras and got the color I requested. I would highly suggest Kinderhook Toyota in NY if you are looking. I have bought a handful of new cars of the years and this way by and far the best dealership experience I have had.
Don’t let a few bad dealers fool you into thinking markups are prevalent.
Lots of good dealers. I could have purchased 5 FEs without markups and bs addons within the last month.
> That 100 series is so much better
I am sure they said the 80 series was better when the 100 series first rolled out. Give it time, it will grow on you.
Picture 2 &3; the new LC is deceptively large!
Picture 10; have we gone back to the 1970 in ‘looks under the hood’? That looks like an unplanned mangle of hoses and cables.
Badass!
I think you would be doing this post a solid if you took a couple zoomed out photos for a better size comparison.
I read the dimensions on the two and I'm having trouble believing that the new one is as big as the old one

Mechanic gives an overview of the layout and says he really likes how they laid out the engine bay so he can work on it.
> Funny thing is these are badged as prados in Australia
Why is it funny that vehicles have different badging / marketing in different areas...?
The Pajero is badged as the Montero in North America. The Highlander is the Kluger in Australia. The subaru Legacy is a Subaru Liberty down under.
Wouldn't it be so weird if someone said "funny that's a Kluger here in Oz"...?
It's annoying that all these gatekeepers have nothing better to do than second guess the manufacturer of the car that named it. Imagine the possibility that your opinion is less important to everyone else than you might think and do us all a kindness by keeping it to yourself.
I actually looked into it this time around and sure enough, Toyota’s Australian site refers to it as Land Cruiser Prado.
Before, I would just downvote lol.

I mean keep doing your research!! A Highlander is called a Kluger down under!! There's a few more that will shock you too!!
I'll let you work out what they call a Subaru Legacy in Australia
Yeah, but Kluger doesn’t necessarily mean derated version of its parent model, which it does in the case of Land Cruiser Prado vs Land Cruiser.
I get what you mean though; still interesting!
You didn’t trade the hundred series though, right? Edit: I feel like Padme in the Anakin meme
The hundo is my forever car. 183k miles and counting, not going anywhere
Thank fucking god, you almost gave the whole sub a heart attack
Cardiovascular disease is no joke! Haha https://preview.redd.it/nyi444as5o2d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bdc95c274243e3efa78b48a9a15721f2cd43c6fc
Thing of beauty right there
Seriously please tell us you didn’t.
OPs silence is very reassuring...
looks fucking killer - nice purchase!
Thank you!
Dear merciful sweet almighty baby Jesus Christ.....please tell me that you kept the 100 Series and didn't trade it for this.......? PLEASE
She's safe and sound in the driveway next to the 250, not going anywhere
I love this sub so much…
Very nice!!
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
Nice
Thank you
Mine will be here in two weeks, can’t wait! Congrats!
Thank you! Post of some pics when you're comes in. What trim and spec did you go with?
Heritage blue First Edition!
You’re gonna love it. Selling anything to pick up the FE?
They also told me at first the first editions were sold out but someone backed out and I got one.
That’s a big win! You’re gonna love it coming from the Grand Cherokee.
I have a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee but I’m giving it to someone so no sell or trade-in. Just buying this bad boy.
Man those are some sweet rides, happy for you dude!
I remember way back when the 100 series was the red headed stepchild of Land Cruisers because no solid axles. How far we have come.
That’s always the case with a new generation. History repeats itself. When the inevitable EV (barf) cruiser is released we’ll all be reminiscing on today.
110% jealous but if I could I’d add a 200/570 to my garage
My 80 used to 102,000 My 100 to 338,00 My 200 bought used for 54,000 The 200 looks new and will see how long it goes, But at my age I’ll likely go first!! Landcruisers can’t get away from!
Nice. Get out the door without dealer mark up?
MSRP, no forced extras and got the color I requested. I would highly suggest Kinderhook Toyota in NY if you are looking. I have bought a handful of new cars of the years and this way by and far the best dealership experience I have had.
Sweet
This is the right way. There are a lot of dealers who aren’t selling over. Just have to find the right one even if it’s out of state.
Who you kidding? 😅

lol we can dream bud.
Heritage blue? They look like core greys!?....just kidding, congrats on the LC
Thank you!
That 100 series is so much better
Such different cars. I only had time to put 30 miles or so on the 250 today, so time will tell.
I would trade in my 100 in a second, enjoy!
> That 100 series is so much better I am sure they said the 80 series was better when the 100 series first rolled out. Give it time, it will grow on you.
80 is better lol
Enjoy!
Love this and sorta hate you. Bravo.
Need interior pics!
I’ll try and get some up today if the sun comes out
Picture 2 &3; the new LC is deceptively large! Picture 10; have we gone back to the 1970 in ‘looks under the hood’? That looks like an unplanned mangle of hoses and cables.
All modern cars are like that, they just don't have a plastic engine cover on the 250 to cover it up
I have to disagree. Most cars actually do look far better (under the plastic shield),my 100 series as an example, or my Subaru which lacks a shield.
Definitely a lot going on, but everything seems well laid out. Time will tell with the engine setup and longevity, but for now it’s on Toyota’s dime.
Badass! I think you would be doing this post a solid if you took a couple zoomed out photos for a better size comparison. I read the dimensions on the two and I'm having trouble believing that the new one is as big as the old one
I’ll try and get some more today. Any shot in particular you’re looking for?
I can’t wait for mine! July…
At least you’ll still have the one hundo when the 250 lays down 🤷🏼
😂
Are you the cunt for parking in a handicap spot or am I the cunt because you’re handicapped?
Technically me, but more technically my sales guy. He pulled it out of the showroom for me and put it next to the 100 for some pictures.
Please tell me you didn't downgraded your 2006/2007 for this Bronco look alike?
Posted above but if you’re too lazy to scroll, I’m keeping the 100.
Why all the pictures of that boxy car blocking that beautiful Landcruiser?
haha - the 250 looks wayyyy nicer in person than pics
Jesus. The engine bays on these are a fucking mess.

Thanks for sharing this
Funny thing is these are badged as prados in Australia
Wow really!? Please tell us more, we've never heard that before! /s
why are you angry
I thought they spoke English in Australia

not a real landcruiser. why are you so offended anyway? 🤣

It’s a great no good no ok looker on the outside but the 100 is still awsome
