Good car except for a very annoying vibration from 1800 to 2100 rpm through steering wheel, feels li
Beautiful comfy & quiet car for touring & towing, plenty of grunt when towing our 3 ton caravan with reasonable economy (14 to 17 LP 100 kl ).
Interior is plane but functional, comfy seating for long distances, very quiet interior with very little road noise. GPS rather difficult to negotiate as is the radio especially when driving as the screen is too small as are the icons on the screen.
The steering tends to wander slightly so driver has to concentrate more to keep car on track.
This is my 3rd Landcruiser & reliability has been good ( I ...Read more

Awsome driving experience, quiter than I thought, great steering, excellent on and off road, plenty of space inside, there is nothing to dislike about the interior, easy to clean, and very comfortable for the whole family, it fits everything we need for everyday life or when we go for trips and very affordable running costs, i wish I bought it earlier.

Great Tow Vehicle
Bought this car second hand with 30000 kms and have put a further 20000 kms on it mostly towing a 3 tonne van, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of towing and also the fuel economy averaging approx. 18/19 liters per 100k while towing at about 95k and about 11/12 liters per 100k whilst not towing. Rego is not cheap as it it is quite a heavy vehicle and servicing is also more expensive and previous 4wds I've owned. The vehicle is very roomy inside and very comfortable when touring. The GX which is the base model does not have carpet but stil...Read more
l very little road noise. No carpet suits us when it comes to cleaning, one draw back is the snorkel which is actually a high air intake and is not water proof when it comes to deep water crossings and also having a large snorkel head it makes a slight noise on the highway as well as being ugly. Would have given it 5 stars but for the price when new.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

New toyota 200 series under warranty with a painting claim defect denied
I bought a new Toyota 200 Series on the 4-8-15 under Warranty with a painting spot defect with a rusty colour appearing stronger and stronger on the back left passenger door.
After lodging several complaints to the Dealer and Toyota Australia, they denied finally any responsibilities despite the statements made by 2 Panel Repairers that the rusty defect was due partly duting the manufacturing process and transport of the car from Japan.
After 3 months of procastination and blaming games between the Dealer, Toyota Australia and myself,...Read more
I lodged a complanit with ACCC. It seems that Warranty in the Motor Car Industry is useless but customers are getting squeezed once more financilally to pay for the irresponsibilies of the Dealer or/and the Manufacturer. May 6th 2018 Update: Painting defects Toyota Landcruiser 200 model GXL build in 2016-17 has dropped considerably in standards considering that you pay over $85,000 for a new one. Painting defects due to thinless of the paint done by robots are really a serious problem if you reside in QLD and travel around the country when the car faces daily dust, rain, humidity, sun heat etc...When you wash the car afterwards the paint comes off showing the undercoat. You don't get any help from the Dealer or Toyota Guest Experience as they blame always the defects on the buyer or consumer. And, complaining to the ACCC is a waste of time as they do not appear the enforve consumer regulation in anyway.1 comment

If you can afford one, buy one.
What a beast of a vehicle
Pulls like a train
Plenty of room, nice and comfy and suites a large variety purposes
Would recommend the LC 200 to anyone with pockets deep enough to hold the cash you need to buy one
The Sahara was on my wish list but the VX was what we ended up buying and are very happy
We’ll be pulling a 3t van around our great country soon and will let you know how we (and the cruiser) go

vibration felt through steering wheel,floor pan
Very disappointed with toyota's response about vibration through steering wheel at aprox 2000 rpm. I excepted no trip computer,even though standard feature in the corolla!!!. (I assumed it had a trip computer for $100,000)The 200 series are roomy,drive reasonbly well,but this vibration is so irritating.The dealer was no help,complained to toyota australia said its chararistics of this vehicle I do remember the demo having no vibration so to reassure myself I wasn't mistaken I went to test drive another vehicle at another dealer, did not have the vibration like ours!!, NOT HAPPY so if its chararistics of this type of vehicle why don't they all do it?????

Great car.
We love this car.. It is just perfect for a family and looking after it is definitely not as expensive as some of the other cars. We enjoy the family road trips as there is enough room to be comfortable for long drives. Highly recommend Toyota and definitely worth the test drive.

Nice car but transmission not the best.
Really like the Sahara. Fridge is good, nice comfy seats, seat warmers are nice and warm. Transmission hunts gears too much and dropping in to 6th over 110 is just crazy. Why don’t Toyota fix this? Needs transmission software change. Silky smooth engine. No rattles. High beam should be HID. Overall very happy with purchase.

I love my LANDCRUISER!
I purchased the GXL in 2016 and I am extremely happy with it. A very spacious and comfortable vehicle. With 2 people aboard and basic luggage we have, on a trip to Sydney(from Melbourne) and return we averaged 9.5LPHk. On that occasion we travelled on the Hume highway, sitting on the speed limit the whole time. With the 110KPH limit it allowed us to attain 6 gear which drops the RPM down about 300RPM. It does not seem much, but on a V8 it adds up. That trip was purely highway, both ways. No suburbs etc.
Generally around town economy is in the...Read more

No fuss
Bought to 200 as we needed a tow vehicle for a large caravan. In many ways the car is faultless. It's comfortable, powerful, easy to drive and so far hasn't had any problems at all. It does everything without fuss (hence the title) and I enjoy driving it.
If I had any complaints it would be about what you don't get, rather than what you do get. For $100k you don't get much of the technology that is standard in many much much cheaper vehicles. You don't even get a lot of the things that are available in the 200 in other markets. The fact that...Read more
you need to buy the VX (one from top of the range) with an asking price of over $100k to get steering wheel controls and trip computer is disgraceful (or at least you did on the MY16.....that might no be the case for other model years). Also for a 4.5l V8 twin-turbo engine you don't get a lot of performance. 200kw power & 650NM torque are very conservative figures for an engine of this size. My one real gripe is the transmission. It seems better suited to a V8 petrol than and V8 diesel. The first sign of a hill and it's dropping gears and unlocking the torque converter and sending the rev's screaming. It never lets the engine use it's torque, it always relies on revs and power and that spoils what is otherwise a relaxed and no fuss driving experience (and probably doesn't help fuel economy either). It also removes pretty much any and all engine breaking. Even dropping gears manually doesn't really work. You have to rely on the breaks 100% to slow down which isn't great in a heavy tow vehicle. All in all I'm happy with the 200. It does what I need and does what I bought it for but it does seem that Toyota Australia do seem to get away with selling a relatively low spec version of the 200 here while still charging a premium of it. I guess it is because there is very little competition. There are other good 4WD tourers, there are other good tow vehicles, there are other large powerful luxury SUV's, but there isn't really anything else that does everything well.Similar opinion?

For flagship model I expected much more
I recently took delivery of my new Sahara supposed to be best in class. Firstly the 850 pages of drivers hand book and infotainment system was shocking.
How is the layman supposed to understand this. The issue is that the handbooks cover many different regions and derivatives.
I'm time poor so asked Toyota Customer experience to let me know what exactly is fitted to my vehicle. I have sent them an email detailing specific answers from information contained in the handbooks. So far there is no response on my issues all relating to is this f...Read more
itted to my vehicle. After a week I had to place a call to see how things were progressing. to those who are reading I was just asking TMCA to let me know what is on the car in terms of specification they do not know! Now having toured the Toyota factory in Vic and seen the assembly process which was very impressive, the manufacturing line know exactly what was fitted, even building left hand drive and right hand drive vehicles on the same line. So far I have not received any answer from Toyota on the build specification. this is worrying the dealer cannot confirm now the importers cannot confirm either.Similar opinion?

Great car
such a nice car to drive, you forget you are in a large 4wd. Then when we get off road the performance is still all there. We have multiple heavy trailers to tow and the twin turbo v8 just eats it up! Interior wise it has all the bells and whistles and is super comfy for our family of 6. The only thing I would recommend to people with small kids is, dont let them kick the TV's! Ours cracked one and the quote from repair at toyota was over 5k!

What a rippa
What a great four wheel drive the Twin Turbo Diesel is. Absolutely quiet inside at what ever speed, and it should be considering the price. A premium luxury vehicle. When it comes to towing it has all the grunt with 650nm just off idle at 1600 rpm. It has heaps more torque than many competitors out there as they boast towing 3.5 tonne but only have about 420nm. You decide if you want a sluggish vehicle holding traffic up....then go and buy the likes of a Mazda BT50, Volkswagon Amorok, Mitsubishi Sport, Toyota Prado, Toyota Hilux.

Nearly a 5 star rating
I have owned other 4x4 before but this one is the best one yet but is just a bit heavy on fuel consumption average 14.5l/100klms not loaded and 18.6l/100klms towing a 2.6 ton caravan. The suspension is a bit soft for towing poly airbags and load levelers made a massive improvement.

Love the power
The main reason for buying this car was to tow our 24ft 3t caravan and transport 4 grandchildren on holidays. I love driving this car, performance, power, handling and noise are all good especially for a car this size especially when towing. Fuel consumption is around 12.5 L/100K around the city, 10.5 country and 20 towing, give or take 2 Liters.
On the down side I havent been totally impressed with quality of ride on gravel roads and the performace of the transmission torque convertor lock up at highway speed, resulting in the purchase...Read more

Best car I have ever had
The heading states it all, love my VX 200 series landcruiser. It's smooth and uses far less fuel than it could for a car of its size. Perhaps the only bad thing would be that I needed to upgrade the suspension to tow. It sagged in the back with standard suspension.

2016 landcruiser vibration
Mine is the VX with vibration through steering wheel amplified when towing and fatigues the body, absolutely disgraceful for any car especially their flagship vehicle. Has been back in total they have probably had it for 20 days back and forth, electrical issues engine cut our on freeway The worst car i have ever owned cannot wait to finish my 2yr lease. Toyota have tried to fix it but cant and like the other writer was told tough its just what landcruiser does. My y62 patrol is streets ahead a better vehicle gave that to my wife enjoy it so much when im back in that.

2016 Landcruiser 200 VX
Very comfortable, nicely appointed. However I struggle to understand why a near $100k vehicle doesnt have simple everyday items such as built-in tyre-pressure monitoring or auto-dimming rear-view mirror. My Wife purchased a VW Golf back in 2008, and more recently traded up to a Passat. Both vehicles cost under $50k and both had TPMS & auto-dimming rear view mirror.
My point is about value for money,yes the LC is a great vehicle but I do believe Toyota is over-charging and under-delivering on features. I guess that because there is really no d...Read more

I have an issue with my 2018 LC 20 VX model and radio and Bluetooth having no sound. Here’s what happens
Currently - no sound at all coming through. This effects the radio and whilst the phone does connect to Bluetooth, there is no sound coming out of that either.
Previously - there has been static coming from the speakers. It is very random and can ‘crackle’ at any time, then goes quiet, then crackles again.
Occasionally - At times it just switches on and everything works.
Toyota have replaced the head unit and zero change. I just picked it up from Toyota today for attempt #4 and the technician says there are ‘no problems with wiring or speakers’ however I still have no sound
Any help/advice would be wonderful.

how to fix a clove box lid from opening
1 answer
The glove box handle pulls the latches into both sides of the glove box door/cover . These sometimes jam in because of dust or debris, and have to be coaxed out, but gently. A little lubrication helps them work better. It is not advisable to try to crack open the door as they are stuck together very well.

I have a 2011 gx, and got it remapped recently after buying it about 8 months ago, and the readout said that it only has 165kw after the remap and 140 before, I thought 200kw was standard
2 answers
Ask an Agent or look in tbe manual, usually available on line
200kw is at the engine. When you allow for drive-line losses you get 140kw as measured at the tyres
165kw is measured at the tyres.
Dont feel bad, The Y62 Patrol is 297kw at the engine and yet was 163kw at the tyres AFTER a tune.

I had the same problem. Toyota standards are dropping fast for such $X$ at more than $ 84,000 GXL. Look for another car cheaper but as good.
