Spare wheel becomes hard to get out from underneath the car eventually.
Car has been recalled to have the brakes redone by Toyota.
First flat battery at 120,000km/h (that's the original!)
Back end bottomed out, ripped the back left hand plastic type bumper and mudguards off. Still like that at the moment, no need to replace them.
At 100000km/h a new exhaust line was required due to corrosion and 4x4ing.
Never misses a beat.
Starts first time every time.
Cheap to run.
Goes everywhere.
No leaks, breaks etc.
Can it really be "cheap" to run a 4 litre engine, allbeit a diesel?
I have a 1992 DX landcruiser which has seen better days & I feel as though she could go another half a million Klms and on average I get between 9 to 10 kilometers per litre of deisel.
Terrible fuel economy. Sad because $210 for 800km is not going to cut the mustard and I have to sell. Tough truck, but unless I sit on 90km/h I get well over 15ltr per 100km. With diesel $150 a litre it's not worth it. Nissan X Trail here I come.
20:09 you will miss the lack of power right off the bat.
I currently own both X-trail 2.5 petrol and LC80 diesel, and I can tell you, they are both two different cars, and for different uses.
The X-trail is economic but not cheap on petrol. I could say on a trip I could spend $75 on the X-trail, and $100 on the LC80, but mostly on long trips, I take LC80, the reason is simple: I need to take more people, and more baggage, sitting 4 people in a X-trail, on trails for 5 hours is a nightmare, but the LC80 can take 6 with ease, people arrive their destination, get off the truck, play, and back to home, happy.
But I won't take the LC80 for mall shopping.
