Thread: need some suggestions of choosing between Ford Everest & Land Cruiser

Have had four Landcruisers in the last 13 years, all trouble free motoring apart from routine maintenance like tyres, brakes, bushes, belts etc. Yes, they’re thirstier than a modern ute, but everyone that travels with me comments how comfortable they are on and off road. And I spend a lot of time driving long distances so that’s a major factor for me. 2-3 litres per 100km mean nothing, and I’ll get that money back at trading time. All apart from my current one has been driven by me beyond 350,000kms and sold easily. My current one is nearly at 300,000km. I could sell it for pretty much the same money I paid for it. The first 100 series I sold to a mate has over 700,000kms on now and hasn’t given trouble. I would buy a 10 year old 2nd hand Landcruiser with 150,000km on it before I bought a new ute, pretty much all new vehicles are cheap junk in my opinion. Have weighed up the options many many times. Depending on your budget, I would look for a tidy lowish km 100 series, there’s a few 1998-2001 ones coming in from Japan that are mint. My boss just bought one that has less than 100K on it and is like it came off the show room floor.
