Hmmm, someone in my neighborhood is thinking of selling his 2016 Lexus LX 570 (with all options).......only has 15k miles. He is asking $70k. Hmmmmmmm

WOWWW engine mount failure?? That IS crazy for a "military" spec vehicle, or really any self-respecting SUV for that matter. Sorry to hear! I know a guy that just picked up the new one in Oak Grune..my all time personal favorite Porsche/Benz color..but the color would leave a TON to be desired with all those extra problems which does make sense in the Toyota-Benz comparison.

I actually like the Sequoia as far as capable, up-gradable SUVs goes, a bit like an off-road bus haha if you're bringing everyone and everything! ..I guess I just don't see too much difference going from there up to the $86k base LC. As you mentioned there are a ton used out there still holding a strong value. I can see your point though, $86k for a 300k mile capable SUV that'll still be worth something in 20years, with very little known maintenance/reliabilty issues, in absolutely anything else would be unheard of. I drove an 08' that had a 100k more miles than my 13' SR5 when I got it at the same price out the door, I still think there's just something about those old beasty J80s with a big set of 35's tho that makes them unstoppable..but who knows, maybe I just need to drive a newer LC to appreciate the newer model. Imo for $86k tho your basically getting 90% 4Runner with the Sequoia v8, even the interior in my opinion is where the 4Runner SHOULD be by now.. KDSS, Crawl Control, analog gauges, JBL system, a 2nd row that doesn't fold flat, fake plastic wood but overall a cleaner "nicer" finish..although still missing new safety features that you'd find in a Tahoe like the lane departure seat vibration alert, reverse mirrors that tilt down for parking (still one of my favorite Ford features)..it still just feels like SO much more money, for very few upgrades (V8 aside, cause let's be honest it should've been a 4Runner option 10 years ago in the Gen5).

I love it for $60-70k, but for $85-100k it's missing some features for me. Otherwise it is a great truck, you can't beat Toyota reliability.

I hear you. For me, it would be worth it brand new. A vehicle meant to last 25+ years has all the essentials that fall into the "ageless" category. Technology changes at fairly high clip over time but core vehicle features haven't been on that same feverish pace. I think the Land Cruiser gives an owner more than enough for its intended life cycle.

I’m not a huge fan of the grille but other than that I really like it. I’d still own it

Only if I had money to burn.

For that money I am pretty sure I could import a 70 series full optioned 4.5 turbo V8 diesel and 4wd manual trans.

Does anyone know the bronze wheel color code for the 2020 Heritage LC? I know they are made by BBS but I can't find the color.

How about a straight trade for this one? 1967 FJ40

Toyota Land cruiser is one of the most popular models in Nigeria. The car is used by the elites and the middle class.

The bulletproof version of it is very awesome. The engine is very good for drivers who love speed.

Land cruiser is one of my most favorite models after Toyota Tundra.

If only they sold Land Cruisers here, my only option is the ugly LX.

Obviously Land Cruiser kills it in long-term durability. On a bit of a different measurement (reliability), 4Runner is tops. In fact, in this top-20 list of Consumer Reports ratings from 2018, 16 vehicles are Toyotas.

20 Most Reliable Cars of the Decade According to Consumer Reports

"An amazing 13 straight years of top reliability scores make 4Runner the undisputed champion.
It may lack refinement and seem a little dated, but as far as reliability is concerned nothing compares to Toyota 4Runner. The truck-based SUV posted 13 consecutive years of the highest ratings Consumer Reports gives for durability. Since 4Runner has not undergone a redesign since 2010, buyers of any model-year can be confident they’re getting the most bulletproof vehicle in America."

That is amazing.

I think the LC has become too fat but I do see the draw- more room for people and gear. I'm neutral on the 3rd row but it just seems to be a bit too wide for many trails. I guess it is more of an overlander, in which case it is fine..maybe a bit heavy, though not bad unless you add armor. I'd keep it pretty stock for general overlanding since it could not be an awesome off-roader anyway unless you modify the heck out of it to fit 35s and a new suspension and new bumpers/armor. I'm rambling...I can't afford it anyway.
