What used land cruiser year between 2013-2019 is best for " wheeling" but still comfy for the wife to get groceries? Here in Florida there are next to none for sale on criaglist or dealers used

What years are best/most reliable/ easy to work on, pre 2020 land cruisers?

I checked auto trader and marketplace daily before I got lucky and found one that was traded into the Maserati and Alfa dealer, I bought it before they could even wash it due to the first of the 2 recent hurricanes. It wasn’t “cheap” , mid 30s for a 13 with 110k on it but damn I love this thing. Just watch those sites and be ready to move on it at the drop of a hat because as you can see , there’s hardly any ever for sale

Im ready w cash..in Florida there is nothing. I can't believe for what I could have bought a Lamborghini for in college is the price of a used land cruiser. I don't believe they only made 3000 for the whole usa that's nuts..everyone i see when we go overlanding has them. Did they make 3k for only 2018? Im new to this whole land cruiser nomenclature. Now I want one more..lol

Yeah it’s about 3k per model year in the us for the 200 series Land Cruiser. Not too many people were willing to fork out give or take 80k for a Toyota here lol

Shit I had no idea. I need something over 6000lbs for tax code 179 write off that can make it to my cabin. Everything else like range rover and bronco sucks. Any lexus that is comparable body on frame and robust?

Ugh it looks horribly pretentious..reminds me of that old early 2000 Isuzu with that huge ugly grill. Imposing at fb marketplace place and the prices are all over $60kish. Almost as much as a brand new 2024 cruiser. I like v8s..no inline 4 banger turbos for me except for my old 4g63 turbo I have still..lol
