  • My First L/C - 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser
    By -

    Just purchased one after 15 years of waiting. Worth the wait. Drove a Yukon before this and the only thing the Yukon was better at was interior space. Fit and finish are excellent. Engine, while not the most potent, has enough torque for smooth merging and lane changes. No regrets

    This is my first 4x4 i have had a lot of fun driving it up and down 100 meter high sand dunes in the UAE then going out of the sand and inflate the tyres and drive at 100 MPH for hours, and few cars can do what the Land Cruiser can, in the year i had no problems what so ever with it i use it for short journeys to work and long journeys on the weekend breaks with the family. its simple you can go anywhere you want to go.

  • Great SUV- Beware of 18 in. wheels - 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser
    By -

    All around a great SUV , my daughter loves the dvd feature. The GPS works great in the lower 48 but not in Alaska (im hoping some new software will include Alaska). Comfortable ride. Nice on screen controls for climate, audio,etc. Beware of the 18inch wheels if you live in a snow climate. There are no snow tires(blizzak,etc.) or even all season tires to fit these wheels!!! They come with high performance tires that are not good for cold climates!! Alt. wheels only avilable from toyota and they are very expensive!!

  • 15 years and 215k miles and still like new! - 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser
    By -

    Im getting to where some pieces need to be replaced but they are all original! The factory muffler lasted to 189k miles! I used to go through a car every 3-4 months (Mercedes CLK, Mini Cooper S, Suburban, 4Runner, Subaru(s)) but just love this vehicle! At 15 years old it still feels like new and is as comfortable as the old t-shirt my wife hates me to wear. This vehicle is not for everyone... its big. Its bullet-proof. The suspension is remarkable and you barely feel what youre driving over. Huge pot holes or 4 feet of snow are no issue. With sunshine I open the large sunroof and windows and enjoy the day. Im thinking of buying a spare for when this one actually breaks!

    I drove this vehicle everyday to work and at least once a month from New York City to Palm Coast Florida with 85000 miles on it right now, still on 100% top condition.

  • PERFECTION - 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser

    For a reliable, plush ride dont look any further...Nothing compares!! The 2003 interior is truly Lexus-like. Low depreciation makes this SUV even more appealing.

    Want a luxury sedan? Buy a Benz, a BMW, or a Bentley. Want a sports car? Buy a Ferrari or a Porsche. Want a watch? Buy an automatic mechanical like an IWC or Rolex. Want automobile superior differential mechanics, high torque that drives like a juggernaut, comfort and class with the utility of an eight-seater? Buy a Land Cruiser.

  • Best SUV on the Road - 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser
    By -

    The Land Cruiser is THE best SUV on the road. Period. Reliability is superb, handling excellent, comfort top-rate, and the ride smooth and quiet. I test drove them all. I read the reviews. And three years of ownership later I still havent wished for anything else, not even my sporty little Mercedes.

    As close to perfect in a SUV

  • Land Tank - 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser
    By -

    Waited 10 years to buy this. This SUV is simply amazing. Go anywhere performance and enough class to hit the clubs in Scottsdale. Ive driven in 3 ft of snow, deep mud, rock fields and through streams... never, ever been worried about getting stuck. It is still as rattle and squeak free as the first day I drove it home. I plan to hang on to it for many years to come.
