1990 Toyota Land Cruiser

By 1990, the Land Cruiser was getting more and more luxurious, as American consumers were starting to drive larger cars as their everyday, family vehicles. Still, the 1990 Land cruiser was mostly meant as a rugged, utilitarian vehicle, ideal for off-roading.

The 1990 Land Cruiser came in one trim level, a four-wheel-drive four-door SUV. The engine was a 4.0-liter, 155 horsepower six-cylinder. The only available transmission was a four-speed automatic. Fuel economy was pretty poor, at 12/14 mpg.

Land Cruisers have an extremely loyal and enthusiastic following. The 1990 Land Cruiser was at the tail end of an era, because the following year the Land Cruiser would become much more plush. Fans of the 1990 Land Cruiser love its iconic boxy shape, rugged off-road handling, and solid reliability. Owners claim that with regular maintenance, the 1990 Land Cruiser will rarely need to visit the shop. Drivers complain that the ride is bumpy, the car is seriously underpowered, and it gets terrible gas mileage, but they love them anyway.
