2000 Toyota Land cruiser problems
The Toyota Land Cruiser (Japanese: トヨタ・ランドクルーザー, Hepburn: Toyota Rando-Kurūzā) (also sometimes spelled as LandCruiser) is a series of four-wheel drive vehicles produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. It is Toyota's longest running series of models. As of 2019, the sales of the Land Cruiser totalled more than 10 million units worldwide.
Production of the first generation of the Land Cruiser began in 1951. The Land Cruiser has been produced in convertible, hardtop, station wagon and cab chassis body styles. The Land Cruiser's reliability and longevity have led to huge popularity, especially in Australia, where it is the best-selling body-on-frame, four-wheel drive vehicle. Toyota also extensively tests the Land Cruiser in the Australian outback – considered to be one of the toughest operating environments in both temperature and terrain. In Japan, the Land Cruiser was once exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships called Toyota Store.
Since 1990, the smaller variation of the Land Cruiser has been marketed as the Land Cruiser Prado. Described as a 'light-duty' version of the Land Cruiser by Toyota, it features a different design compared to the full-size model and, up until 2023, it remains the only comfort-oriented Land Cruiser available with a short-wheelbase 3-door version.
As of 2023, the full-size Land Cruiser was available in many markets. Exceptions include the United States (since 2021), Canada (since 1996), Malaysia (which receives the Lexus LX instead), Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea, Brazil, and most of Europe. In Europe, the only countries where the full-size Land Cruiser is officially sold are Gibraltar, Moldova, Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. The Land Cruiser is hugely popular in the Middle East, Russia, and Australia, and also in Africa where it is used by farmers, the construction industry, non-governmental and humanitarian organizations, the United Nations, national armies (often the pickup version), and irregular armed groups who turn them into "technicals" by mounting machine guns in the rear. In August 2019, cumulative global sales of the Land Cruiser family surpassed 10 million units.

Other years of Toyota Land cruiser
Are you having problems with your 2000 Toyota Land cruiser?
Doug Weissnat 2025-02-06
I have owned several luxury cars such as Mercedes, Lexus, and Jaguar, but none of them have been as good as my Land Cruiser. It is built to last, rides smoothly, holds up well, and performs exceptionally. It is the only car that I have kept for more than three years, and why wouldn't I? It still looks and runs just as well as it did four years ago when it was new. I will definitely replace it with another Land Cruiser or a similar Lexus model.
Maxine Bahringer 2025-02-04
You have a great car! It's really fun to drive and also very reliable. I'm glad to hear that you really like your Land Cruiser.
Regan Dickinson 2025-01-25
The original running gear is powered by a very strong 4.7L V-8 engine. Regular maintenance includes periodic replacements of plugs, shocks, TB/WP three times, 4X4 bearing packs, front stabilizer bars, Toyota 84 month battery, fuel injectors, valve cover gaskets, fuel injector kit, radiator T-hose (which was quite an experience), power steering pressure hose, number 8 coil, brake pads and calipers, muffler, and engine cam seals. I may have missed a few things, but the major costs were just two: brakes master cylinder module (OEM $1600) and steering rack assembly ($1200). If you take care of it, it will take care of you. It's a daily driver that can take you to a movie on Tuesday and serious 4-wheeling on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. You get the idea, right?
Major Ondricka 2025-01-16
Your rig has over 340k miles on it and it's still going strong! The only minor issues you've had were with the little light indicating you're in drive, the cable to raise the antenna, starter, rear door struts and alternator, but these only occurred after 250k miles. The rock crawling capabilities for a luxury SUV are unbelievable and your wife loves the luxury part. It's also great in snow and ice with the right tires. You've even managed to pack 8 people into it for a short off-road excursion! The only downside is the fuel economy, but this vehicle in diesel would be perfect. You also love its looks, even more than the current version, so that's definitely a plus. Although there was a design issue in the motor for the first half of 2000 that made repairs more difficult and costly, it's still a great rig!
Tremayne Cole 2025-01-16
We've owned this car for over 8 years and it has never let us down. With 151k miles on the clock, my guess is it could go twice that and still drive like the day we brought it home. The only complaint my wife has is that she wishes the steering wheel was adjustable. I recommend putting the original equipment Michelin tires on it as they will go 60k+ miles.
