1992 Toyota Landcruiser review from North America
"Very reliable, very sexy, and a whole lot of truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator burnt out.
Water leak trouble.
General comments?
This is my first car and I consider myself very lucky to have it.
I really love it's rugged good looks, and the car lives up to it on the trails.
Seats are pretty comfortable, but I can never feel as comfortable driving it as I do in my Mom's Suburban.
One thing I can say though, is while the Suburban is stuck in the driveway with mechanical problems, I'm cruising in my Cruiser.
The truck has been extremely reliable and I feel like I can always trust it.
The full-time 4WD is cool because I can drive very securely in harsh road conditions IE. heavy rain, unpaved roads, however it makes the truck pretty slow and it sucks down lots of gas. But if I cared about those things that much, I wouldn't be driving this amazing legend that is a Landcruiser.
