love the car in every way except for the lack of room for anything such as uhf radios, and storage space to store gear such as recovery gear, so I had to go buy a drawn system and fit that into the back of th car, also the power or cigarete socket in the rear of the car uses too light a guage wiring!

Has anyone got a fix for air cleaner passing dust without having to fit a snorkel ie any type of pre cleaner The automatic transmission tends change to a lower gear easily whilst travelling through hills while in cruise Fuuel economy ranges from 9.8 lph to 13 lph without van & 16lph to 20.5 lph with

The car is great with the exception of the stereo. I have tried several iphones (5, 6 & 7) and all people I am talking to can barely hear me over an electrical buzzing noise. Toyota have replicated the problem and are investigating. Possibly a problem in the series as the car the tested against also had the problem. Going to install a new head unit soon??? but I am not confident this is going to fix. Also very poor on Toyotas part for not having hands free controls on the steering wheel.

I am currently looking at reviews for my son who is thinking of buying a work horse. Have read many reviews on many cars, it appears to me that all cars have a lottery associated to it, as how it is going to perform. To balance some of the comments made about the Landcruiser 200 series, I've had mine from new. (2013). I've done 85k. I have not had any problems with it at all. Comfortable and tows my 3 Ton van with ease. Love this car.

What's with no audio or phone controls on the steering, and the fuel consumption is nothing like it says on the sticker. That said the vehicle drives well, has heaps of power and just cruises the many highway kilometres that I do. I presume the next release of the GXL will have the gadgets expected in this price range.

Anyone that says a v8 3 tonne 4wd only uses 11 litres per 100 is a liar. I get 15 litre per hundred not towing and about 25 litres per hundred towing a 2t van---great vehicle, can't fault it apart from how thirsty it is. Toyota said its normal. The figures of less than 20 litres per hundred when towing are going down hill in neutral with engine off.

Absolutely love the car ( 18,000 kms in 4 months).
Comfortable,quieter,much better economy,hate the radio/hands-free operation.
The volume/on/off control is on the left hand side of the radio and with no steering wheel controls you have to actually look to ensure you reach the button.
You can buy a Yaris with steering wheel controls for under $20k!!
What a joke!
The use of the radio controls whilst driving is unsafe!!

So spent $98,000 on my 2015 gxl with accessories trading a really good jeep grand Cherokee crd as I had been told how good these Toyota's were. Well it's thirsty 18.5 litres per hundred around town which goes up to 30.0 litres per hundred when towing. It's been in for a GPS fix, cruise control fix and rattles to be fixed none of these fixes have worked.

Hi I copied and pasted this story because i notice my new 2015 GXL 200 series dose the same thing. I don't no if it torque converter or not,or it is hanging in 5 gear but if im in cruise control it sits on 1900 revs I increase speed and decrease speed it drop to 1500 revswill ask sevice department,but if anybody has come up against this please let me no. { I have noticed is the torque converter often slips at 100kph making it rev at nearly 2000rpm which is a waste on a motor with so much torque. By accelerating to 110k then backing off gets it cruising at a more reasonable 1500rpm.}

Best 4x4 wagon on the road. Comfortable, powerful, great for towing and a dream to drive. I had a Patrol prior to this vehicle and was known as a Nissan nut. I have seen the light and could be considered a Toyota tragic due to this great vehicle - LC200 GXL V8 diesel wagon. The longer we have owned this vehicle the better the experience has become. We have towed our 2.5t Whittley extensively and the landcruiser does it without the feeling of towing. It has been a great investment and would recommend the GXL auto to any prospective buyer. I would also recommend the guys at Goulburn Toyota to make your purchase - ask for David.

First of all I'm writing this review in regards to my Grandfather's 200 series GXL with the UGR-FE 4.6 V8 petrol. He chose the petrol due to the unnecessary complexity of the diesel as he has heard and encountered too many horror stories.

Superb car. It is thirsty but relative to its size it does quite well. About 12 to 13 on a trip and mid to high teens around town. It does better on 95 octane. Huge power, bit of a torque deficit compared to the diesel, but that's about it. Really smooth, quiet and reliable. Haven't had a single issue in 130,000 KM's.

The six speed is much better than the old 5. Drives nicely enough for a big Wagon and it's super quiet and comfortable on a trip.

Does everything we expected Plus. A pleasure to drive and handles our 3000kg plus, van with ease. Fuel economy will improve when we get a few more k,s on the clock. Love the GXL but will upgrade to a VX next time. Have had 7 diesel Prados in the past and they had more tricks than the 200. The VX will at least have a trip computer and the upgraded suspension.
Comfort, stability, power, fuel consumption, safety
could have more standard features, trip computer, upgraded gps, 2nd row centre arm rests, easily removed rear seats,

Would be a great vehicle if this problem can be fixed. Everyone knows the damage dust can do to a motor. I noticed this after 3000 km. What if I had waited till the recommended 30 000km?
Great to drive,plenty of power(diesel gxl model)
Have noticed dust in wrong side of aircleaner, was fitted with a new aircleaner box and aircleaner but still the problem is there

GXL 200 diesel have always had a toyota, but would have my old GXL 100 series back. feel very unstable when on dirt road with this new car, wouldn't recommend it. toyota have lost a new car buyer,
glad to see a/c all the way through. comfy and roomy. quiet no road noise. lots of power.
doesn't handle dirt road corrugations when towing horse float lots of drifting, unstable, aqua planes on wet bitumen, no fridge plug in rear area, floaty on road
