Except for bigger wheels, the 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser continued unchanged from the previous year.
The 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser came in one, well-equipped trim level. The engine was a 4.7-liter 235 horsepower V8. The only available transmission was a five-speed automatic, and the four-wheel-drive was permanently engaged. The '05 Land Cruiser seated eight, with a removable third-row seat for extra storage. Fuel economy was about 14/16 mpg.
Drivers like the 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser because it handles well off-road and in bad weather, but also provides plenty of comfort and luxury features. They also say it is very reliable and has a high resale value. One of the biggest complaints is about the poor gas mileage, and longtime Land Cruiser fans also complain that by this point, the boxy look is a little outdated.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers of the 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser appreciate its spacious and luxurious interior, strong performance, and reliability, making it a great option for both city driving and off-road adventures. Many also highlight its ability to handle poor weather conditions with ease. However, a common downside mentioned is the low fuel economy, with many drivers noting subpar gas mileage, often below 15 mpg. Additionally, some drivers find the extra features like built-in screens and Bluetooth to be unreliable and accessing the third row can be cumbersome."
Tke King of the World! Without a doubt the best 4x4 in the world. . . Nothing can compare. It just has that mucho appearance and the drive is magnificent. Its performance off-road, has no limits and nothing will ever break or fail on you.
October 2, 2009this car does it all. handling 5 passengers in comfort, eating up the worst weather you can imagine with ease and providing wonderfully luxurious interior appointments. It really is a wonderful car. The handling is also suprisingly good for such a large car. On long trips it is a joy to drive. lastly, the car is extremely well built - we've had ours for 3 years with not a single issue re: maintenance. The only downside is of course the gas mileage. Not suprising for such a large car. In addition it is not cheap - around $63k new. overall, a wonderful car.
December 17, 2007The Land Cruiser has plenty of elbow room and a reasonable length, just under 200 inches, without going into the mega-long 220+ range. This makes it a reasonable choice for luxury SUV city car, while the EL Suburban is difficult to maneuver. Getting in and out of the third row can be a chore. Also, some of the extras, such as the built-in TV screens, and Bluetooth, can be unreliable. The engine is typical of Toyota -- reliable and seemingly bulletproof, but with poor gas mileage, often sub 15mpg.

September 19, 2007Land Cruisers are great. Theyre not cheap. Try to get one with a timing chain if youre going to do real off road type stuff.
