Let me shock everyone here. Have a 80 series LC back in Pakistan. 1994 model. VX limited. Diesel. Currently at 2.7 million kilometres and still going. It’s a legend. Will never sell it.
Whoa! Man I need to a review on it! lol Congrats on that Sultan! I wish we had the diesels here!
National car of Pakistan. Especially impressive to know how roug😢the driving conditions are in Pakistan
Holy shit!
😮😮😮😮
Please do a KZhead video on your LC!
My 2005 Land Cruiser 120 Prado diesel hit 1 million kilometers this summer. Currently sits at around 1,013,000km give or take. Engine never touched. Valve cover never opened. Turbo is original. Radiator is original. Only the transmission got rebuilt at ~800k km's, and only due to hardcore offroading and abusive situations, which it's had it's entire life! Best vehicles on the planet!
I wish we had diesels here in the USA. I would kill to have yours! Take care of it! You're lucky bro!
@@reviewedbytim Too bad Toyota does not make a single Diesel that meets our air pollution standards. I would be VERY happy with a 2 door Prado with manual transmission, tailgate mounted spare, steel wheels and simple 2.7 gas engine😉
Yes the land cruiser are good, but trying to buy one used in Australia for a reasonable price is difficult because the used vehicle crises has made high demand for used cars and anything Toyota high $$
@@dalesmith4985 Toyota 4x4s command the highest used prices in any market because they are the most durable.
Where are you ? Kilometres ?
I drive my parents’ 1999 now. We bought it in the summer of 2004 with 84k on it, and I’m about to reach 187k on it now. These cars are unbelievably amazing.
You're living life bro! Take care of that thing and enjoy it! They're going up in value every day! Also, thanks for watching!
My brother has a 19 yr old Camry and it almost has 300k miles on it! It still works great although the 0-60 on it is 11 seconds. 😅
Lol that’s nothing for a Land Cruiser.
You only drove it about 100k miles in 18 years?! It's almost not driven. Lol. I drive at least 15k a year so I find it very weird. Lol
@@salehalsayaad I've driven my car 3000 km in four years!
I have a 2006 LX 470 with 238k. It is my everyday driver, plus my camping vehicle with annual trips to Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Alberta and more. I’m 71 and have own at least 20 vehicles. This is by far the BEST vehicle I have ever owned! Damn vehicle will probably outlast me!
lol that's what I'm talking about! Glad you're living it up! I need to take me a trip out to Montana bad!! I'm jealous!
those 06 facelift ones are so gorgeous
I worked at Lexus toyota , I bet you didn’t know this but the 4.7L engine was originally made to be a small aircraft engine. That’s why the engine is flawless. I have the 04 sequoia with only 136400 miles forest green, but I also have the Lexus es300 2000 and a 08 RX350 Flawless
Well that explains the longevity! Also congrats on your Sequoia. Low mileage! I love seeing folks that have a Lexus fleet! You're a wise man!
v8 in a plane?
@@Daniel-pc2ov wasn’t classified as a v8. It was the block that was considered small engine for a prop plane but it was scraped prior to the 4.7L 2000 or august 99’ tundra Mid 90’s The engine is flawless
Same here…2003 Sequoia 250K quiet as a mouse
@@Maxumized indeed. I’ve seen these engines at 380.000 and numerous utube vids where there’s r at 450,000 miles. The engines never break down so junk yards if not toyota Lexus specific don’t carry more than 2-3 in there inventory cause it’s something they rarely sell. They rather have Chevy gmc motors loll
My friend who worked at a tire shop had one come in for new tires after the owner doing a front suspension rebuild. That vehicle was a one owner as well, and had 838,000 miles on the odometer. When she asked him about it, he mentioned it was still on its original drivetrain as well.
OMG! Feel free to send me any info that can help me locate that car! I would love to see that car in person. Let alone, do a review on it!
Omg that's insane!!
I have had my 2006 in Cypress Pearl since August of 2006. My wife and I decided to place our finances in a vehicle that will take us well into retirement at the time. It now has around 497,000 miles. It has been kept in the garage since day 1. The AHC suspension system is still functioning well on the original shocks and ancillary equipment, with regular Toyota AHC fluid changes and globes being replaced at the start of the pandemic. I have used it to haul a 7,000 pound trailer occasionally and enter my vacation property through a 14% grade offroad, and the vehicle handles it just fine. Brought to the dealer for every maintenance and annual inspection, and my mechanic says if I do not sell it to him once it is decided, he will never speak to me again. All paint is original and waxed twice a year by a detail shop, as well as undercoated prior to every winter and then washed off at the start of spring. One key item I would like to share is my method of cutting in half all maintenance intervals. For example, the timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt, pulleys, etc. are replaced every 50,000 miles. Full synthetic oil changes are done around every 3500 miles. Tires are replaced every 4 years regardless of tread depth. Brake fluid is flushed every 15,000 miles, and a full brake replacement, including parking brake shoes, every 40,000 miles. The oil on the dipstick does not move at all from full mark between oil changes, and this is the only vehicle I have ever owned that has never leaked any fluid. I wax the windshield once a month in order to prevent bugs from sticking and to help prevent rock chips on the original windshield. I have a lot of respecf for these vehicles, and a sentimental attachment to ours specfically, due to transporting 4 generations of our family over the years. Anyone who is reading this and considers buying a new one, think twice. They are not built like they used to be, and never will. Last summer, we drove it to Halifax from our home in Queens, while last month we drove down to Florida. I do not trust any other method of transportation as much as this vehicle to keep my family safe and comfortable on those crazy roads. Wishig everyone peaceful and enjoyable upcoming holidays
Wow! You are servicing this vehicle religiously! These vehicles are already extremely reliable but, when someone like you goes above and beyond you're going to get the results that you have. Your Lx will go 1,000,000 miles!!! I would like to see your vehicle one day! This is amazing and other Landcruiser owners would love to hear your tips on maintenance and care. Thanks for your detailed comment and thank you for watching! Hope to meet you and your Lexus one day! I wish you the best!
Very nice maintenance schedule. You do not need to change the water pump and timing belt every 50K if you are using all OEM parts and changing the tensioners and pulleys every time. it is the tensioners and pulleys which wear out the timing belt. I have seen many with more than 200K on the original timing belt and waterpump. A good time to change it is around 100-120K
My GX has 336K. These are incredible trucks that can be gotten cheap now because the milage is not good. Maintenance is so easy (videos on youtube on how to do everything yourself) that even though the milage is about 15mph, you don't really have other costs. The build quality if way beyond everything else out there.
Wow congrats on your GX! They're so much fun and durable. They're faster than the LX as well! Sweet ride!
I wouldn’t say they have gotten cheap
@@CarsTechWood they were before Covid. Not so much now. But, prices are starting to come back down
@@CarsTechWood I"ve seen GX's on Facebook Market place with 200K and recently replaced timing belt for under $5K.
Bought my 02 LC for $6800 w/314k miles. Runs perfect, but had to replace the front shocks, sway bar bushings and end links, upper control arms, tie rod ends, and one axle; but thanks to KZhead, I did it all myself and only spent under $1k in parts. Also had a shop replace the power steering rack that cost $1k with an oem rack included. Now the thing rides perfect and I’m sure I could easily get another 300k miles on it.
It is nice when people actually take care of their own vehicles.
Agreed. It's kind of sad seeing people abuse such great vehicles because there's so many others that would take that same vehicle and maintenance it the way it should.
My 1999 100 series Land Cruiser isn’t too far behind! She’s my daily and I’m currently sitting at 402K Miles. For some reason, I love this old LC more than any other vehicle I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned a car or two in my lifetime! Love your channel!
Thank you so much for the kind words KRT! And congrats on your 100 series! Those are super smooth and will last forever! Happy Holidays & Thanks for watching!
I have 493 thousand on my 1999 LC, purchased used in 2002 with 60 thousand. Mostly high way miles. Buttery smooth engine. I continue to get offers to buy it, but it will be with me to the end.
I owned 2002 LX470 and my wife had the same engine of GX470 for. I bought it used 12 years ago and still running well with very minimal maintenance.
That's awesome to hear. I'm not married yet, but when I do I'll make sure to get my wife a GX! You're a good man haha
What a beautiful piece of engineering. An amazing vehicle and maintained exceptionally. We love to see these land cruisers in this condition. Great video!
Thank you for the kind words 80 Series Pakistan! These vehicles are the best you can get!
So awesome to see a guy who loves these as much as I do..I'm to the point where I own 3 of these 1 gx 1 lx and 1 tundra all same chassis engine..doing awesome job on videos Bud keep it up..
Man, that makes me feel so good. I'm new to this but I plan to keep getting better and better. I want to make sure that you guys are getting the info that is useful without all the fluff. Thanks for watching and again.. thanks for your encouraging words!
Loving your videos. The enthusiasm you have for these masterpieces is fantastic to see. That Lexus is mint. I would not hesitate to buy it.
Thank you Kapil! That really means more than you know! I'm new to this but I plan to get better and I have some great content on the way! Thanks again!
Great presentation of any car i have seen. Good job bro.
haha I have a long ways to go but I can't thank you enough for the kind words! I've got some great stuff on the way! Thanks again Jmmmch!
This was a great video ! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching Alexander! I'm happy to see people are liking it! Cheers!
How did I miss this channel, I have found my people 😁 Great review, great vehicle, all around well done
Thank you so much for the kind words Omen! I'm still learning more on how to make these videos better! Your kind words won't be forgotten! Thanks for watching!
Nice review, cool to document how long these cars can last! My '06 LX470 is at 190k miles, looks like it has plenty more to go!
Thank you Francis! I’m new to this so thank you for the encouraging words. And yes, you have many many more miles to go!
My 2015 has 210k miles. You’re good
This was a super entertaining watch. Thanks for the laughs and also scaring me straight with all these numbers. 😮😮😮
hahaha thanks for watching brother!
Thanks for the video loved it! Going to pick up my first LX470 this weekend with 215k miles and cant wait!
Bro you're entering a new world of luxury capability, durability, and dependability! So happy for you! Don't forget to let me know how you're liking it! Make sure you @ me if you reply to this comment section. That way I get a notification you commented!
This is a great example of an LX470. My late uncle had one of these that I would joy ride up snowy hills when I was a teen haha.
Good old memories! That's the kind of stuff I like to hear! Cheers!
Brother i'm guessing you are new to this. Because no way you haven't got 100k subs. The way you present and the reviews are top notch. Keep up the good work man. Wishing you all the best ❤️
I can't express how thankful I am for your comment. You and your comment won't be forgotten. Thank you, again!
I totally agree.
LEGENDARY! one of my aspirations in life! owning a Toyota/Lexus Daily TANK!
You're going to get one soon Kuya! When you do get one, take care of it and it will take care of you! It's one of the best vehicles you can ever own! Cheers!
Thank you again. Well done
No, thank you for watching Jim! Happy Holidays!
Thank you for the review man. I hope you can find 70 series in the states and review it
Oh yeah! I’ve got some good content on the way!
Good review keep grinding young fella
Thank you for that! Happy Holidays!
Awesome vehicle. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you MrTony002! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
I was driving mine today, windy, high 40s and raining. The truck handled great. I had heat on low, heated seats on low, relaxing in those LA Z BOY front seats with a nice relaxing grin on my face. What a pleasure to drive.
haha life's good! Glad you're enjoying that beauty! They're the best you can get! Congrats again!
First time viewer here, Tim. Brilliant review! Keep up the good work!
I really appreciate your comment Amedsi!! I'm new to this and I plan to get better and better! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous SUV. Bullet Proof. Nice owner and review.
Thank you for the kind words Babar Rashid! Thanks for watching!
Well taken care of LX! Stay up with the maintenance and they will last forever.
And that’s a fact!
Love it, just about to roll 240,000 in my 2000 lc. Absolutely love it, really is an everyday tank for me.
Nice! You've got a long way to go! Thanks for watching!
What a gem. Wow! I owned one and sold it after the values skyrocketed post-covid. Now I own an Isuzu Rodeo and man, these old cars are just built different. Zero problems.
Congrats Ricky! Hope you made some money off your sale! Also, I love the Rodeos! They're so much fun and really capable! Cheers!
Looks like I am about to be the owner of this gem! Working out transportation details. Thanks to your amazing review, I feel confident buying this truck sight unseen and saving myself a 13 hr round trip. Thanks my guy and stay in touch!
Absolutely! Feel free to email me your # bolden646@gmail.com , so I can tell you more about the truck. Call or text me if you have a sec!
Did you buy it yet?
Nice review, Tim. Please make a video on the LS 430 as well. Thank you
You got it Akash! I've got some great content on the way and I'll be sure to get one done of the ls430! They're great cars too! Thanks for watching!
Amazing. So tempted to get one!
If you do you're not going to lose money.... If you do you're going to realize it's probably the best driving SUV you can buy!!! They NEVER disappoint! Cheers!
I have a 89 landcruiser, and it’s amazing, after all of the miles, doesn’t make a creak over bumps. Really impressed with the quality of them.
Exactly! There's not many vehicles out there that can do the same. In fact, there may not be another brand that can do the same. Toyota all day!
wow, what an epic truck
I was impressed myself Ryzen! Thanks for watching!
Great review mate! Loving the content! I have my 2006 LX470 here in Australia and it’s the best vehicle ever!
Glad you're enjoying it bro! I can't wait to visit Australia one day. You guys have some great cars and landscape there. Also congrats on your 06 LX. I love the 5-speed that came in them those years. So smooth and great gearing ratio!
@@reviewedbytim If you ever come to Perth let me know and you can test mine out 👌 I can’t fault it, I have 145,000kms on it now (90,000 miles) so have a lot to go!
@@ScottyJH Wow! Low miles! And yes, I definitely will take you up on that offer one day. I just screenshot our conversation so I won’t forget you Scott! Thanks, brother! Also, if I come down, I want to check out the land cruisers that are in Australia for the channel. Maybe you can be my tour guide haha
@@reviewedbytim Anytime mate! Sounds like a plan. Every second vehicle here is a Land Cruiser so you will have plenty to film and see!
My uncle has one it drinks like 20L per 100kms 😂
Great presentation! Subscribed
Thank you sir! It really does mean a lot. I'm new to this but I have great stuff coming on the way! Again, Thank You!
Love the video! Hope to see that many miles on mine! Just picked up an 06 LX 470 with 212k miles on it. Everything still works as it should. Galactic Grey sits right beside my 05 Toyota 4 Runner Limited 4WD with 204k on it. Both are the same color. Toyota makes a great vehicle!
Mike you're going to see another 200k-300k miles on both vehicles for sure! That LX that you have is probably one of the greatest models made! That 5 speed transmission is sooo smooth! Also, congrats on the 4Runner! I'm looking to add one of the these my arsenal! Great choice of cars. You know what you doing!
Love your channel, youre will become very successful on youtube, greetings from austria
Wow! It's a an honor to have viewers all around the world! I'm new to this and I have a lot to learn! Thank you for your kind words! It really does mean a lot!
@@reviewedbytim i believe your idea about this channel is fantastic reviewing high milage solid built bullet proof cars, with cars getting more complicated nowdays it makes 100% sense to buy bulletproof stuff, i drive a v40 volvo 2002 with 360k kilometers and even if it has a renault engine and was built in the netherlands this car is rlly amazing, i should have replaced my transmission and clutch since 100k km but it keeps repairing itsself, sometimes jt makes a lil noise but then it will disapear for a long time, lol
My parents had the LX450 from 1997. I loved that thing. Wish we still had it.
Right?! Who knew that we would look back and realize that those were built so well!
@@reviewedbytim trying to find a good condition lx450 is even harder. If I knew I would’ve taken the car after they didn’t want it anymore.
thank you for this video
Thank you for watching Abdul!
@@reviewedbytim u r wellcome land cruiser is one of the best cars in this world it's working for ever just take care for the oils and the colant that's all your name is Tim .....right?
Mine is 2001 TLC 1hd-fte..has 153.000 km..these are incredible trucks, durable and hold their value, and proud to have one of them.
Low miles bro! You have one of the easiest engines to maintain! Congrats on that.. it will last forever!
@@reviewedbytim you're right bro..and aameen to that 👍
I am definitely going to check back with your channel in 2044 to see how the new LX600 is holding up 😁
haha You got it bro! Thanks for watching!
Lexus should give you million dollars for this Video. Good job and remarkable vehicle.
Thanks for the kind words Karl Karl! I'm new to this and there's a lot for me to learn! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
This makes me so sad that my 2000 is rotted out. But it has lived 22 years in New England and the previous over wasn’t a sticker with undercoating or car washes. Even with the rust however, everything is original with the exception of CV axles and the alternator which just recently went out at 230,000 miles. I hope to have another one some day!
Man.. that's sad to hear. Congrats on being able to own one. Many people would still take one that rusted out and love it to it's death. We're blessed. Drive it until it falls apart haha
Don’t see much of these cars in the states unlike here in the gulf where no other car manufacturers have come close, nice review btw
Thank you EZ! Where in the Gulf are you?!
418k on my 03 sequoia. Such a nice vehicle. I think they’re a bit below a low trim Lexus from the same era. I’ve seen one cross over 600k. Rides the same as mine. All of these v8 lexus/toyota trucks are pretty amazing.
I love the first gen sequoias! They're tanks as well! Congrats on the mileage.. you must be taking good care of that baby!
258k on my 06 GX470, 268k on my 02 sequoia
That is what you call the king of the road. The 2UZ-FE is what other car makers can only dream of making. It’s sad to see all of this reliability get destroyed with todays cars. Even Lexus is being forced to make crap. Awesome video man!
Thank you Don! And I couldn't have said it better myself! Toyota has proven over and over that they know how to build an engine!
@@reviewedbytim I just picked up two 2022 GX 460s, had to get them V8s before it’s too late!
Drive an 05 LX, I used to drive it to school everyday I love that thing to the moon and back.
05' was a sweet year! Take care of the baby! You have a good one!
@@reviewedbytim thanks man I also wanted to mention that my dad used to own a 96 LX450 but sadly it was totaled.
Barely hitting 178K miles on my 2003 GX470 and just bought some oem timing belt kit and valve cover gasket. Sure the 2UZ burns fuel but its easy to maintain and rock solid.
Low mileage bro! lol Glad you got yourself a beast!
Makes getting a warm and dry storage seem like a good investment.
haha you got that right! Thanks for watching PaletoB!
Sweet video!
Thanks Will! I'm new to this but I have some great content on the way! Thanks for watching!
I own the copy of this lx470 , 2001 , from the US , and its still in good condition. Rebuild engine last year , all the rest in good shape. Greets from Altai, Siberia :)
Siberia! Wow.. thank you for watching my video! I wish you all the best with it Adar! The rebuilt engine should last you very long time! Congrats!
@@reviewedbytim Thank you!👍
Kudos on this video! I have a 2004 Lux Cruiser w/223k on the ODO. I'm the second owner, the original owner was a district manager for Lexus, so the service was on point when I bought it. I noticed new OEM shocks when looking at the frame, was the AHC system still functioning on this Lux?
Thanks Jason! You got lucky on that one! Every now and then you can get lucky and find one that's been meticulously maintained! The AHC was deleted at 413,000 miles. Insane! They flushed the fluid on the system at the time Lexus recommended. Yours is going to last a long time! Congrats bro! Thanks for watching!
I'm a simple man, I see high mileage Toyota and review in the title I click it and like.
hahah my man! Appreciate you watching bro!
I have owned a 2005 HZJ105 4.2 diesel solid axle (same body, barn doors) for 10 years and it has only had fluid and belt changes. Always starts first time. 👍 I have a convertible sports car but this is my daily drive. 🇦🇺
Oh man! I would kill to have a diesel one from over seas! I don't know why they never came here. Big mistake that America made lol. I definitely wish to review one some day! Congrats on your HZJ105! Take care of that thing! Thanks for watching Molotov!
Love it!
Thank you Jason!
Excellent motors The best
You can't beat them! Thanks for watching!
I bought 3 Iveco daily trucks in 2004, for towing trailers long distance at 7 tons GTW. The one I used did 1,200,000 miles and was still going well when it was stolen. It had a gearbox a 900,000 and an engine rebuild at 1.1 million. The only reason we took the engine apart was that it smoked at idle - valve stem seals. So it just had std rings, bearings, valve grind, gaskets and seals and was back in use. I had a lexus LS400 too, 350,000 when sold.
John.. that's insane! You must have took really good care of the and performed the proper maintenance that these cars needed to survive! You know how to make them last! Also, thanks for watching! It really does mean a lot!
@@reviewedbytim I think the keys are never miss a service, preheat the engine, and don't rev the guts out of it. The other two did well, too, one sold at 830,000 and the other crashed at 530,000. My insurance company tried to pay me scrap money for the stolen one, saying it must be knackered, but I pointed out that a vehicle will be knackered at 100,000 miles if it's not looked after, but to keep it going reliably it has to be pretty well perfect all through its life. Now I run a Sprinter which shows no signs of age at 360,000. Like your channel, by the way, talking to you from Britain.
Some reached millions in the Middle East, you should check them out
I've heard! I've been looking for one with the original owner and original drivetrain! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Got 300K on my 03 LX. This video really put things into perspective…I always look for newer/lower mileage options. It’s a waste of money. I’ll keep mine.
Darn right Mike! Save and enjoy another 200k miles lol. Thanks for watching!
I owned a 2000 Land Cruiser. Bought it with 59K. traded it in at 130K, Biggest car regret was getting rid of it. The car had all the records and the only thing that was done was new brake pads and tires. At 129K the original rotors were still good. Oh and the tape deck was broken which I didn't know until my wife tried to use it. These cars don't even need to be garage kept. Just wash it with an undercarriage wash and change the oil and timing belt changes. I recently purchased new 2022 4runner. There was a trade in going on at the same time. 890K on a 1991 4runner. They gave the guy 2K for it. The older gentleman had to rebuild the transmission once and normal maintenance. It was unbelievable. I went from Toyota to Land rovers( which included a lemon law lawsuit) . As I age my wisdom increases and I have gone back to Toyota. I try to explain to people the difference between going to a Land Rover service center and a Toyota service center. You have to wait in line to check your car into a Land Rover. Like waiting in line to go to the club. The customers are dressed the same also. ;)
HAHAHA You've learned! Congrats on the new 4runner bro! I love those! That's wild that you had a 91' 4runner with 890k!!! And lastly, you're right.. you don't have to garbage these babies! They can take the weather! Thanks for watching Bruce! And thanks for sharing you car experience with the channel!
I have a Toyota Land Cruiser 100, 2001. with 314 000 miles on the clock (506 500 km) and I love every bit of it. It is the same color as this one, 50th Anniversary edition. We didn't have Lexus here in Croatia, and even 100 is very rare. And it is a 4.2 turbo Diesel inline six engine (1HD-FTE ), with 150 kW (204 hp). It sounds excellent and it drives excellent.
Wow! I really wish we had the diesel models here in the U.S! I bet they drive really nice!
I have a friend who dailies his Land Cruiser. It has 1.6 million kilometers. He does land surveys and mapping. Crazy how it still runs. He did one rebuild at 1.2M. 80 series
Wow that's a amazing! I love hearing high mileage stories like yours! Thanks for watching!
The best beuatiful series of all time lx470 NO ONE CAN BEAT IT 👌
Glad you like it Romeo! I'm lucky to experience! Thanks for watching!
I have an 05 land cruiser , green over tan. Just about to cross over 300,000. Parents bought it new and drove me too school in it every day! I learned to drive on that truck. Gonna keep it forever! My daily is a 2005 Lexus ES330 sedan and TODAY I crossed 299,000 miles. Will hit 300k this week! Best cars ever made. 😊 Wait the rear vent is rare? I don’t think on so. Mine has it. I valet cars and every LX/land cruiser I’ve gotten in has it. Pretty sure it’s standard no?
Congrats on the 05' Land Cruiser! Beautiful color choice! The ES330 great daily as well! I've had 3 Lx470's and none of them had the electronic vents besides my white one! But, I am starting to see them more and more. Maybe the one's I was purchasing were the lower packaged models lol.. Congrats again! And, thanks for watching!
Awsome video 👍. Somebody has to build the best quality vehicles in the world. It may as well be Toyota/Lexus. 💪💪💪
That's right Lester! And they do a darn good job at it!
A testament to Lexus quality !
You already know M.B! Thanks for watching!
This is insane! Definitely interested in this powertrain! Lexus or Toyota!
You won't regret it! Thanks for watching Rickcoy!
That car is 100% stock. Amazing mileage on it. Keep it up.
You got that right. Pretty hard to come across! I didn't see any signs of the engine or transmission failing.. if they keep up the maintenance it should last quite a bit longer!
I used to have one sold it after 500,000.km of heavy use towing racing climbing dunes .. the engine was so strong and the gearbox.. one of the best cars can stay strong after all that hard of driving .. the only weakness thing in this car is the front suspension ..
Man that's awesome! I would love to get one on the dunes one day! What part of the front suspension seemed to fail the most in your experience?
@@reviewedbytim Sorry to say that but it's worst suspension ever install in a 4x4 car as they installed shocks without springs in the independent suspension which mean's every time you use your car very hard you should change that's control arms including the shocks $$$ The second issue in this car if you are going to use it on the sand & your car doesn't have diff lock it's like to stick to the sand especially if you didn't take the air out of the tires at least 15 to 10 psi. Anyway it's not that big of deal when you compare it with the advantages of the car that's gives you I recommend you if you can buy the newer model lc200 it's more stronger & efficiency from everywhere from my experience more than 10 years ..
Awesome stuff man. Is this your first channel?
Funny you asked that. So I like fishing and earlier this year I started a fishing channel. My first video got over 20k view pretty quick. I was pretty happy about that. But, I'm more into cars than I am into fishing. So I decided to chase my dreams and start this KZhead channel here. I plan to make this channel my career! I love doing it! Thanks for watching! Also, nice Astro Van!!
I just sold my 2000 LX470 with 365,000 miles on it. It was my everyday driver. I replaced the whole AC system ( I live in TX) so it was used year-round but no other major repair issues. I did the scheduled maintenance as per Lexus's suggestions as well as replaced the timing belt and water pump at every 100,000 intervals. I have 2010 LX570 with 180,000 miles on it with more creature comforts and I wish I had my LX 470 back. It was been the best car I have owned and I have owned and I have had other high-end cars. My son just got a 2001 LX470 and he loves it.
Shelby that awesome to hear! You definitely got your money's worth with your 2000 LX! Great job on grabbing the 570! I myself am looking for one to add to my garage too! Good for your son as well! Man, you have a tasteful family lol Thanks for watching!
Key to keep car forever: Timely, consistent care. Don’t wait until it breaks
Couldn't have said it better Saud! Cheers!
I owned 2000 Land Cruiser yellow badge for over 500k miles. We just change fuel pump, and the rest are pretty solid..... nothing changes more!!
Wow! When it hits 600k miles please let me know!! Thanks for watching Silver Vuong!
Nice Review , and Thanks for this video . Please I would like to know what brand of motor oil , and transmission fluid the owner is using on his Lexus LX470 ? Will appreciate so very much for answering my question ?
Thanks for watching Erne! It was Valvoline 5w-30 Full Synthetic! And for the transmission.. they used Toyota ATF. I'm not too surprised that the engine made it that far but, for the transmission I was blown away! I guess if we all change the oil like the manufacturer recommends they'll last that long... Also, from what he told me they just followed the basic maintenance intervals that Lexus recommended. Again, Thanks for watching! Hope this info is useful to you!
I haven't had a break down in over 40 years because I only drive Land Cruisers. MPG is not good, but you save plenty of money in the long run by not having to replace parts.
That's a fact! Some people complain about the fuel mileage but we're not buying these because of that. It's very hard to find a vehicle that has the same quality/size/reliability with better fuel mileage than these! Congrats on yours! Thanks for watching as well!
01 LX470 with 220k miles checking into this epic video, 500k wow!
Congrats on your LX! As you can see you have many more years and miles left to go! Cheers!
Wow - was going to sell our 2000 LX470 that 90K miles on it. It still looks new and drives wonderful. Maybe we should drive it for another 22 years...
hahah If you do contact me first! Cheers!
One with less than 100,000 just sold on c&b for $28,000.
@@hedge313 interesting - ours is similar but unmolested in anyway (no undercoat, added wiring, etc.). It also is a one owner car (my Mom). I've replaced the tires and rims and removed the running boards (still have them). Maybe we'll list it.
I’m the 2nd owner of a 2002 Lexus ES300, now with 172k miles, bought it in April 2021 w 160k miles. Rides like new, not even 1 creak or rattle. Everything still works. There is one on KZhead posted nearly 4 years ago with 590k highway miles. Original engine and transmission Nothing beats Lexus quality, reliability and craftsmanship
Agreed.
You got that right Stephen! First of all, congrats on being a happy Lexus owner! You have something that's going to last for a long time to come while also having good power, fuel efficiency and luxury! Thanks for watching! That car isn't going to leave you stranded!
@@reviewedbytim yes 🙌. I installed 4 new struts last year (rear ones were Leaking) , replaced the original OEM alternator, OEM AC compressor (started squealing) also. All replaced with GENCO. This March replaced the original OEM starter, also w GENCO. Now I’m set! 20 year old OEM parts just shows the durability and quality of Toyota parts. I change my synthetic oil every 5k miles. Best is I checked my oil after 3,700 miles and I haven’t burnt any oil. Love it ! I’m 58 and this will last me at least until I retire at 65. I plan on keeping it for 10+ years!!
I love my 01 LX470! 😍
You better! lol There’s nothing like it!
I have a 1993 Ford ranger 2.3l 5sp 2wd with 499,980 miles as of today with the original engine transmission and rear end! I daily it to work. Also rust free. No tics taps or raps and it doesn't use or leak oil! Only issue is the damn hydraulic clutch, I'm on about number 4-5 !?!? Meticulous oil changes 3000-3500 miles and I undercoat it with the used oil once a year with an actual paint brush, effective!
Wow! Now me and you both know the reason why your vehicle has last so long is because of YOU. The owner. You take care of that thing and it’s going to take care of you! Congrats!
Great shape. Only 207k on our 04 Sequoia- I test drove a wonderfully well kept 350k 99 Land Cruiser last year and looked at at 395k 06 LC100 that was in the area (but had rear frame rust). Would've bought the 99 but the Sequoia was mint and cost $1500 less!
You did good! Smart man avoid the rust. Some people don't care but rust is cancer! Sequoias are tanks! You're going to get another 300k out of it if you maintain it right!
Yes sirrr I have the same exact one 4 years now. 275,000 on it. I definitely need the hookup on that center console tho. My leather is done
Where are you located? Also, congrats on owning such a great vehicle!
@@reviewedbytim I'm in Atlanta
Scotty he will love watching this video
HAHA He's a great guy! It would be an honor to have him comment on of one of my videos!

Thank you Pixelation Edits! It really does mean a lot! Happy Holidays!
@@reviewedbytim you too
I like your videos. They don't have any annoying background music.
And I don't plan to add any! We're going to keep it natural on this channel! Thank you for watching!
Great video! What mic are you using?
Thanks! They're cheap wireless mics from amazon. I recommend spending a bit more money. They aren't consistent.. But here's a link to them.. www.amazon.com/Kopdkes-Microphone-Plug-Play-Ultra-Low-Reduction/dp/B0BGLMJB91/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1QYKQOC2DZTGA&keywords=wireless+microphone+for+iphone&qid=1670809366&sprefix=%2Caps%2C1110&sr=8-7
The microphones are my favorite part of this video.
Yeah, I already sent them back! They were garbage! New set sounds great! Thanks for watching!
Had rear vent windows in our 1999 Sienna. Never understood why they were not standard on all LX, GX, etc.
Oh man that's pretty neat! And I agree. Should have been standard!
our lx470 is 670km which is just a little under that. no engine repairs, no suspension work ect. just servicing and on australian highways its whole life. we calculated the fuel cost and its almost 350k aud through its lifetime
Wow! Now that's a cool spec to know! I think I'll try to use that in the future on one of my videos! Thanks for that! And, thanks for watching!
@@reviewedbytim also, the ahc suspension still works and im pumping up and down at all the redlights i have.
Land Cruiser is my dream suv cuz when you buy it new, you are guaranteed of basic life of 25 years to last or more, I’m buying the LC 200 this year and I love the power of v8 ❤
Congrats!!! You're going to love it! I'm in the market myself for one too!
My dad has a 2008 Toyota Hilux at 400,000km. Diesel Engine has never been touched, shocks have never been changed, doesn’t smoke. Get yourself a Toyota.
I would kill to have a diesel in my possession one day! Congrats on that! Those are the real bulletproof Toyotas!
@@reviewedbytim thanks my bro
I’ve put 100k miles on my 04, just traded an Acura MDX for a 13 LX570 with 90k. Both start and drive like brand new cars, cost of ownership is cheaper than a Kia. Just can’t beat ‘em.
Wow congrats on that upgrade! The LX570 is next on my bucket list. Good power... exceptional luxury.. and built like a tank! Congrats! Cheers!
Amazing vehicle! What were his oil Change internals & oil type? Just to be fair I’ve seen Suburbans with 600K on them .
They changed oil every 3-5k miles. 5w30- Full synthetic! And yes, the 5.3 and the other ls based engines can go high miles. But, Gm had the 4l60 that would burn up fairly easy. If you maintenance them religiously you could probably get those high miles you've seen! The problem is us Chevy guys love performance and cams lol
Great video! I have a ‘96 Land Cruiser, it’s a little rough. Has anyone dealt with fixing steering play?
I haven't had any issues with the steering play on the one's I've owned. Start with checking all tire rod bushings. Worst case scenario it's the steering box. When you off-road them a lot the start to form play! Hope this helps!
This is why we love Toyota/Lexus
They just really made these to be used and to last! You can't get the like this anymore in the U.S... sucks
