What buyers say

Reputation: what owners and the press report

  • Sought after: Early trucks for off-road use 1991–1992 One source so far

    FLEX Automotive, a dealer in imported Land Cruisers, says serious off-roaders lean toward the early years for their work-truck character.1

  • Avoid: The 4.0L for towing All years Less sought after One source so far

    In one IH8MUD thread on a 1992 against a 1993, nine of thirteen members favor the 1993 and later trucks with the 4.5L, most of them for towing power. Two prefer the 4.0L, one as much easier to work on, though that one agrees it is not the engine for heavy towing. A third member says the 4.0L has head gasket and ECU relay problems.2
