What is the best year for a used Toyota Land Cruiser?
I’m looking to make the jump from a sedan to an SUV, and I’m eyeing the Toyota Land Cruiser. Which year is best in terms of used Land Cruisers?

It depends on what you want to use your Toyota Land Cruiser for. Generally speaking, any Land Cruiser produced after 2006 is a great buy. Recent models rival some of the segment’s luxury names like the
Mercedes GLS
or the Lincoln Navigator
—boasting an array of safety tech features smothered in high-quality materials.If you’re looking for a big, bad off-road beast, you might want to look into an older model from 1995 through 1997. These models had a more robust build, and they include many features to help you navigate any adventures you have penciled into your calendar.
Here are a few of the off-road qualifications of the 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser:
- 212 horsepower 4.5-liter in-line six-cylinder engine
- 275 lb-ft of torque at 3,200 RPM
- 10.8-inch ground clearance
- 36-degree approach angle
- 25-degree departure angle
Toss some all-terrain tires on there, and you’ve got yourself a bona fide backwoods beast.
Possibly the best part about owning a Land Cruiser? The average annual cost of Land Cruiser
car insurance
is just $1,404 to $184 less than the national average. Not only will you get a great vehicle, but you’ll get a great insurance rate as well.View full answer
