Plenty of room. Better vision, ride, handling and braking than a GU Patrol. Brakes really are excellent for such a large vehicle, even with large tyres. Driveline is much weaker than a Patrol though. Front diff in particular has a very weak crown wheel and pinion. Very poor of Toyota to downgrade the front diff from the 60 series. Rear diff, gearbox and transfer-case are all strong. Factory LSD is not as good as the Patrol's. Fuel capacity is excellent, and with a long range tank you can get over 270 litres. General quality control is excellent. After 8 hard years, all the electronics still work flawlessly. No rattles or squeaks. Great dust sealing. Rear shock positioning is poor. Being in front of the axle housing, they cop damage from stones off the front wheels. You need stone guards for them. Engine (1Hz) is fine unless you give it too much boost. Anything over 10psi will eventually get you cracked pistons, and cost you a fortune. Seems the 1Hz is not as strong as it used to be. Overall, I love driving the car and I'd probably buy another, but I miss the bullet-proof durability of my old Patrol. I think the Landcruiser is a better car with better on-road behaviour, braking, vision and space, but the Patrol is a stronger 4WD. If Nissan can improve the interior space, driving position and vision in the next Patrol, then I'd consider changing.

The 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser is perfect , everything you need without the high tech electronic’s . 300,000 miles and purrs like a kitten . The difference in the Toyota Land Cruiser and other top luxury SUV’s is the Toyota is designed to be off-road the others are just capable of it .

just a big huge car to drive!! slow in accelerating but no problem as you go through.dependable,nice gas consumption and tough on and off the road.great air conditioning too. drive to experience the toughness of a toyota s.u.v. and a real one!

Super Acceleration with fast brakes and sweet handling. Never a problem in any of the main components and i have taken in though a 6 foot wide 4 feet deep ditch and made it without a problem. basically its a tank on wheels.. a very comfortable tank on wheels. Rugged and Beautiful

After 8 years of sun abuse, weather, hail, bugs, insects, 100+ degree weather in the summer and below 32 in the winter, this truck still looks like it did on the first day, minus some wear on the seats. Knowbody knows it is 8 years old, but me! Such a great truck, never stops.
