2002 Toyota Land Cruiser Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The only notable new feature for the 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser was that the third-row seat, and therefore rear climate control, became standard.
The 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser came in one, well-equipped trim level. The engine was a 4.7-liter 230 horsepower V8. The only available transmission was a four-speed automatic, and the four-wheel-drive was permanently engaged. The '02 Land Cruiser seated eight, with a removable third-row seat for extra storage. Fuel economy was about 14/16 mpg.
Drivers love the 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser because it is well equipped to handle snow, mud, and other off-road situations, but it is also well appointed with luxury features, making it a comfortable car to cruise around town. Owners also love the roomy interior and reliability. Some do complain that the car gets terrible gas mileage, and others say that the third row seat is quite small.

This was one of the most ultimate off road trucks I've had. I took it on off road vehicle parks in upstate South Carolina and it outperformed my buddy's similarly suited Land Rover. Very comfortable daily commuter.. if you can afford the MPG's. Loved tinkering with it but couldn't afford the gas mileage thanks to the Great Recession, so had to sell it.Jul 17, 2012

per anni uno dei motori diesel più potenti in circolazione, un'ammiraglia nel mondo del fuoristrada che non sdegna la giornata nel fango, predilige spazzi aperti ma se ci passa è diovertente anche in luoghi angusti. una mattatrice di Km con una comodità invidiabile solo da berline di alto rango.Feb 27, 2010

Wow! I hate what Toyota is going through. I have
owned NOTHING since I have been able to drive
but Hondas & Toyotas. ( I'm sorry I did own a
BRAND new Ford Mustang...for 3 weeks...sold it
because the motor rusted in it...never even made 1
payment) I can't imagine what all of the owners of
the recalled models have gone through but I have
not had ANY problems...not one since owning my
02' LandCruiser if they have a problem I will have
to deal with that then but I have NO intention of
selling or trading but if I was shopping for a new
car would be right back at Toyota. Let me say I
also own a 01' Toyota MR2 Spyder which I WOULD
NEVER part with! This space isn't large enough for
me to give the true amout of my feelings for this
car let me just say I ADORE IT! These 2 vehicles
are owned by ME have been kept up by Toyota
ONLY. Within my family besides my 2 Toyotas, my
husband owns a Lexus ES330 (which we purchased
because his son was going of to college and need a
DEPENDABLE car to get back & forth from Mobile to
Tusacaloosa, he was driving my husband 98 FORD
F150 with many problems this was not even a yr
ago) so the Toyota Avalon XLS that was ALSO
purchased by ME brand new in 03', (prior to our
marriage) when I found the the MR2 I sold the
Avalon myself did not trade...he found out it was
for sale and bought it HE lived here in Mobile and
had never seen the vehicle but new I loved it and
to this day the vehicle is still with me (technically)
w/ approx. 180K miles. His youngest son drives a
O2' Toyota 4Runner which we purchased used (1
owner) has had it 2 yrs it was a present for his
b'day @ 16 never a problem. My oldest son has a
Toyota LandCruiser as well and a Toyota Tundra.
My youngest son has had many vehicles not 1
being a Toyota...but has had problems with each
and every FORD (3-4 of those) and DODGE (2-3 of
those 1 was a yr old I HAVE never had ANY vehicle
around me in the shop like that one! I hope some
one sits down to figure out how many recalls
Ford,Dodge,GMC etc has had in there history. What
I believe is that Toyota will do whatever it takes to
fix these issues no matter what it takes I hope
people give them the chance to make this right but
as for me if I was shopping for a new car Toyota is
ABSOLUTLY where I would be!Feb 18, 2010

At a price tag of $78,000 this SUV is well worth it. Smooth drive, easy on gas, very luxurious look. 4.8l. V8 engine. built in GPS. This SUV is great for off-roading and the snow to. I have never been in the situation of sliding or getting stuck in the snow. One thing about this SUV is that you need alot of $ to maintain it.Dec 23, 2009

Dark Metalic Red.
Dark grey & black interior.
Chrome bull-bar & side steps.
New chrome & black wheels.
Turbo diesel.
Took a little bit of getting used to after my petrol version.
Surprising & pleasing pick-up for a diesel.
Great fuel economy.
Feels a little top-heavy when cornering - but it has been raised for fwd.
Fun to drive? YES!!!Aug 04, 2008

I have had brand new Volvos & Jeeps and I love them, but the Land Cruiser is very sturdy feeling and gives lots of power, glad I tried it this time. I bought used as a second car and do not regret it at all.Mar 26, 2008
What users have asked
2002 Toyota Landcruiser 265k
Anyone out there familiar with how long this vehicle is capable of going for if it’s been maintained properly? I’m looking at one for $8500. Is that a decent price? TIA!

Does anyone have wind noise on the passenger front window? What is it?
I just purchased a 2002 Land cruiser and I love it, it was well cared for. The only thing I noticed is that on the passenger side, the front window seems to have a lot of wind noise. If anyone has experienced it, I would like to know what it is?
