Toyota Land Cruiser 100 VS. 200 Series - Should You UPGRADE? (Do You Actually Get More?) WATCH THIS 

I have owned both. The 200-series is a much more modern, powerful, quieter, and better driving version of the Land Cruiser. The 200 is a better car in every way.

I own a 2017 LC, and i have zero desires to own anything it competes with. Besides the MPG (i average 15.3 mixed) this vehicle is amazing in every way. They aren't cheap, but in this case, you really do get what you pay for. Most people have no idea what a Land Cruiser is, and that's fine because most people trade in cars every 2-3 years, and most cars today are disposable (planned obsolescence). If you are a consumer looking for a vehicle you can count on for decade after decade with nothing more than basic routine maintenance, this is one of the only vehicles left that will truly go the distance.

Great video! I struggle with keeping my 200 and getting into a 100, but the power and added features are noteworthy, especially the cool box (major lifesaver). My LC has its flaws (contrary to popular opinion), but I enjoy the power and comfort ability of it. 100 is always a special gem, but the 200 is a different world, period.

These trucks are bulletproof, my dads got a 100 series. I have an LR3, one time when we were at the trails. My dad fell into a huge swamp, it didn’t look so bad at first, that cruiser slowly powered out of this impossible mud hole, tail pipe underwater and all! It was wild

Been contemplating trading my 470 for a 570 as prices start to become more reasonable, this video certainly helps

Land Cruiser. 200 series simply said is the greatest vehicle ever built. That is not exaggeration. It is the most capable vehicle in the world it is the most durable vehicle in the world it has the highest resale in the world it is most iconic legendary historical in the world the highest quality in the world and will last longer than any car in existence. Toyota will never bring back to Land Cruiser. because of gas mileage laws. The 2021 Land Cruiser. was the last true Land Cruiser. They may bring back an electric but it will not be A real Land Cruiser.

200 all the way. 100 is good to go too. Can’t go wrong.

I could listen to you review anything! Well done!

Thanks for this video. Have a 100 series Lexus and have been considering upgrading. This video helped. Thanks.

I have an 04 with 265K (last year). Bought an 08 with about 150K to replace. About 6mos later I sold the 200 series. I found the 08 much more cumbersome to drive around town. Maybe it was just the one I bought, don’t know. I’d never driven a 200 series and flier across country to pick it up. Almost takes 2 hands to steer around a parking lot. Almost takes 2 feet on the brakes to stop. It’s a completely different car, and for my needs, the 100 was a better car. Also a bit warm down esthetically so didn’t worry about parking outside, or kids crawling around. Paid $30K for the 08. A bit steep. Sold it for $31K but put paint protection on it, and replaced some rusty struts, so didn’t make any money. The 100 series is just more maneuverable, nimble. About 290K on the 04 now. Just spent about $4K getting some issues worked out. Timing belt and stuff. Considering selling. Who knows. Maybe an 05 or 06 with low miles is what I need.

I’ve owned both. I’ll never sell my lx470. Fit and finish is better in every way vs the 200. Th engine and tranny is more refined and smooth in the 100. Also the 100 looks like a Land Cruiser as aposed to the 200 looking like a Highlander. The only advantages to the 200 is bigger horsepower the 5.7 is a good engine, but has its issues. The 4.7 basically has no issues arguably Toyotas best engine ever.

I’m not positive, but I believe the 5.7 is not the same as that of the tundra. Something about extra quality of build in Japan.

When choosing Toyota (Lexus) Both are nice. My wife would chose the 200…. Off road - For me 70 series Troopy (USA not get)

I have a 2011 LR4 that I’ve had since 2015, second owner (HSE, HD package). I also have a 1991 RRC that with a 4.2 swap. The RRC is the fun weekend camping car while the LR4 is the jack of all trades but it’s becoming more pricey to daily (141,000 miles - no timing chain service yet). I’ve wondered if trading the LR4 for a 100 series would make any sense for having something that’s less fussy and always there to depend on. But I’d imagine I would miss the power and comfort of the LR4 a lot. Would love to hear your thoughts on the 100/200 series vs LR3/LR4

He'll mate, happy independence day, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I would call the 200 series a downgrade. The 100 series is easier to service and will last longer with proper maintenance. Plus the 100 series can be flat towed all four wheels on the ground.

570 is the sweet spot.

Those trip computers are most of the time off for about 8 to 10% too good.

“Again again again”

Did the LX have a manual transmission

You're clearly biased. Bad review.

Everybody else in the world claimes the 100 series i the last real Land Cruiser.

My conclusion is they don’t interest me at all because they are not what I like and it’s why I drive LandRover branded models.

Hey pal very good review just straight forward and essential. The 100 Series it's even more economical in fuel given the fact that the 200 you tested had a 5.7L engine....Cheers
