Overview
The 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser saw no significant changes for the model year. However, that year marked the first time Lexus offered its own vehicle based on the Land Cruiser, the LX 450.
The 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser came in one trim level and had a 4.5-liter, 212 horsepower six cylinder. A four-speed automatic was the only available transmission. The 1996 Land Cruiser had a permanently engaged four-wheel-drive system. Fuel economy was about 12/14 mpg.
Despite an increasing assortment of luxury options to chose from, the 1996 Land Cruiser remained a favorite among off-roaders and outdoorsy types. They loved the TLC's capabilities on rugged terrain and in inclement weather. However, the car was increasingly popular among the soccer moms that were driving the explosion of the SUV market. Drivers complain about the poor gas mileage and high price to purchase and maintain.

This particular model, equipped with the turbo diesel, can be expected to run into the typical issues associated with aging turbo technology. Also, seen by many in the off-road community as less capable than its Land Cruiser twin. All told, still a fantastic vehicle for the casual off-roader who appreciates the uniqueness of this nostalgic 90s overland vehicle.

I have come to love this car as I would a child. Don't talk about performance. Horrible acceleration, zero roadholding but, my God, what a great sense of warmth and security. This car has been all over Thailand, into the jungle, through Bangkok floods and nothing has ever stopped it. Except for the replacement of some parts, it has been like a tank. Love, love, love.

Engine is powerful and 4WD capability allows it to go anywhere! Acceleration is limited - big SUV, cost is reasonable! great to take out to the country and rough roads. The land cruiser is big! It says - "Get out of my way"!
