Toyota land cruiser 100 year of manufacture. New comment

Appearance:

By appearance It’s not difficult to distinguish the “cheap” configuration of a Toyota Land Cruiser from the more expensive one. Basic equipment The Standard is designated as STD and is very easily recognized by the absence of side moldings and roof runners. The next trim level, GX, already has the elements described above, but like on the STD, the rear doors of the GX swing open different sides, but in the more expensive VX, the rear doors open up and down. Note that the GX package is divided into versions P1 and P2; P2 is easily distinguished by the installed winch. Compared to the Land Cruiser 80, the length of the vehicle has increased by 90mm, despite the unchanged wheelbase, the interior has become more spacious thanks to a more thoughtful internal layout. The STD wears relatively narrow tires measuring 235/85 R16, the tires are mounted on stamped steel wheels. The GX is equipped with wider and lower profile tires measuring 275/70 R16, while the VX has a smaller tire profile - 275/65 R17. Externally, the “hundredth” differs from the “eighty” in its more voluminous headlights.

Interior and equipment:

The steering wheel of the basic Land Cruiser 100 is adjustable manually and only in angle, but the steering wheel of the Land Cruiser VX is adjustable in both directions and using servos. When reviewing the equipment, we can conclude that there is a very big difference between the STD and VX. So the STD package is equipped only with vinyl seats that are easy to clean, as well as air conditioning. The GX-equipped car already has fabric upholstery and electric drive for all windows; in addition, in the GX the backrest of the second row is adjustable in angle of inclination, the P2 modification is equipped with a sunroof. VX can please with electric seats and the already mentioned steering wheel; leather interior for VX is a common thing. It was offered as additional equipment for the Land Cruiser 100 steering which, depending on the speed of movement, changes the number of revolutions of the steering wheel from lock to lock. The system is called Variable Gear Ratio Steering. At low speeds, the steering wheel makes 2.5 turns from lock to lock, but on the highway the steering wheel becomes less precise, from lock to lock 3.5 turns. In 2002, the basic equipment included a CD changer with steering wheel controls and separate climate control for all three rows of seats. It is worth emphasizing that the interior of the STD and GX is more spacious, since the trunk contains not an ordinary sofa, but two benches along the sides, thanks to which the capacity of these modifications is 10 people. When buying a Land Cruiser, you can hear the seller boasting that his car is equipped with two air conditioners. It is better to refuse such a car, because two air conditioners were installed on Arab modifications. The point is not only that for our conditions one air conditioner is more than enough, but that the pipes extended to the second air conditioner are laid under the bottom, and they themselves are made of aluminum - this leads to the fact that after several “salty” winters, the pipes lose their tightness. The interior of the Land Cruiser 100 has become 70mm wider compared to its predecessor. The same 70mm made the rear passengers' legs more spacious. After modernization in 2002, the car received a new dashboard with backlighting that varied depending on the degree of external lighting. The luggage compartment with the third row folded holds 830 liters; it is possible to increase the luggage compartment by folding the second row.

Technical part and characteristics of Land Cruiser 100

The above-mentioned modifications STD, GX and VX have significant differences in technical equipment. The first two modifications have a more durable fully dependent suspension, like on the “eighty”, but in the STD only the rear center differential is locked, and in the GX it is not uncommon to find all three locks, including the front differential lock. The VX has an independent suspension at the front, which improves handling and smoothness on asphalt.

The most prestigious engine offered for the Toyota Land Cruiser 100 is a 4.7-liter gasoline V8 with a capacity of 235 Horse power and a torque of 434 N.M. This motor can only be docked with the machine. Note that initially a four-speed automatic was offered for the “hundredth”, but in 2002 it was replaced with a new five-speed automatic transmission. The V8 4.7 engine was designated 2UZFE and is known for being the first V8 installed in a Toyota SUV. Fuel consumption of 2UZFE in the urban cycle is 20-25 liters. In addition to the gasoline V8, the Land Cruiser VX can also be equipped with a turbodiesel. The 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder turbodiesel is equipped with a cylinder head with four valves per cylinder. The designation of this turbodiesel is 1HDFTE. The power of 1HDFTE is 204 horsepower, and the maximum torque is 430N.M. A car with a turbodiesel can be equipped with either an automatic or a manual transmission. A Toyota SUV with a turbodiesel under the hood is not at all significantly inferior to the gasoline version in terms of dynamics, but fuel consumption in the urban cycle of around 14-17 liters is quite acceptable. The simplest naturally-aspirated diesel engine, the 1HZ Sotka, was inherited from the eighty without any changes. A 4.2-liter diesel engine with two valves per cylinder develops 130 horsepower - this great option for residents of the outback, where there is no quality diesel fuel. An atmospheric diesel engine was installed on the Land Cruiser STD and GX. There are also petrol six-cylinder in-line engines with a volume of 4.5 liters. These units were installed on Toyota Land Cruiser 100 intended for Arab countries. The power of the gasoline 4.5 is 224 hp, the engine index is 1FZFE.

Unlike the “eighty”, in which gasoline engines had chain drive Timing mechanism, on all “weaving” engines, the timing mechanism is driven by a belt. Land Cruiser maintenance in order to replace the timing belt should be carried out no later than once every 100,000 km. The engine oil is changed once every 10,000 km. Cleaning work on Land Cruiser injectors is carried out once every 100,000 - 120,000. The manufacturer itself declared the service life of the spark plugs to be 100,000 km, but in practice, in our conditions they do not always last even 30,000. The engines do not have hydraulic compensators. According to reviews and experts, work on adjusting thermal clearances should be carried out every couple of hundred kilometers, which exceeds the service life of hydraulic compensators.

Audio system installers and other specialists notice that the metal thickness of the Land Cruiser 100 is 0.6 - 0.7 mm, and this is not much, so for high-quality music sound, additional work has to be done, which entails an increase in cost. A less frequent, but still a problem that the owner of this all-terrain vehicle may encounter is a burst exhaust manifold. The fact is that the exhaust manifolds of the Cruiser are made of steel, not cast iron, and if there are not many problems with replacing the right manifold, then to replace the left one it is necessary to remove the steering shaft. The price of each collector is around $500. The cooling system pump usually runs more than 200,000 km, its price is $200 - $250. The starter can last 150,000, the price of spare parts is $500 - $600.

The oil in the gearbox is changed after 40,000 km; at the same mileage, the oil in the gearboxes and transfer case should be changed. Even Dextron 2 can be poured into the machine itself, but GL5 class oil with a viscosity of 75 W90 should be poured into the mechanics, gearbox and transfer case.

On the Land Cruiser VX, the lower front suspension arms should be replaced at 70,000 miles. Note that there are also modifications with adaptive suspension. The adjustable suspension has three height positions: 170mm for highway, 220mm for normal clearance, 270mm for height. As practice has shown, in our conditions this system not very reliable and it is better to avoid such cars. With a mileage of 100,000 km, repairs will be required - replacement of the lower bushings of the front shock absorbers; it is better to immediately change the shock absorbers. There are known cases when the breather became clogged as a result of off-road driving. rear axle, which led to increased pressure in the unit and leakage from under the front or rear oil seal. As a rule, servicemen clean the breather every 100,000, so as not to get repaired, do not forget about this. Once every 100,000 it is worth injecting the cardan shaft crosspieces. The Land Cruiser clutch usually lasts 200,000 km without problems. Sometimes owners are perplexed after servicemen offer them to change brake discs. The fact is that the initial thickness of the Land Cruiser 100 brake disc is 32mm, and the minimum allowable is 30mm; sometimes the discs under a heavy car wear out even after 30,000 - 50,000.

Part two.

Options.

The same 100 series body can hide three different cars. A simple and utilitarian pavement Land Cruiser 105. The 105 series was produced as well as the 100 series until the end of 2007. The main difference from the 100 was that the 105 series had a split front bridge. In fact, the entire structure and units were carried over from the 80 series, and these are axles, engine and frame. The rear doors were mostly hinged, with folding ones less common. The 100 series was considered a step above the 105 in terms of equipment and was therefore considered a more luxurious version. The top-end configuration included a leather interior, wood trim and hydro-suspension. It was equipped with a powerful 4.7 liter gasoline engine or 4.2 liter turbo diesel engine or a 4.5 liter 1FZ-FE petrol engine, borrowed from the 80 series. And the third car is the more luxurious brother of the 100 series Lexus LX 470/Land Cruiser Cygnus. It was equipped only with a powerful gasoline 4.7 liter engine, leather interior, natural wood trim, hydraulic suspension and many other options. On the outside, it differed from the Land Cruiser 100 with a slightly different front design in the form of four-lens optics and a different, more refined radiator grille.

In total, 14 trim levels can be distinguished, not counting limited and special versions.

1. STD/Standart (equipment for foreign markets, excluding North America, Europe and Japan)
2. GX (R1, R2) (excluding North America, Europe and Japan)
3. VX (excluding North America)
4. VX-E (European version)
5. RV (Australia version (pre-2002))
6. G (equipment for Middle Eastern markets)
7. GX-R (K1, K2) (equipment for the Middle Eastern markets and the Asian market)
8. VX-R (equipped for the Middle East and Asian markets)
9. GXV (Australian trim (pre-2002))
10. GXL (Australia version)
11. Sahara (Australia version (since 2002))
12. VX-Limited (Japanese version)
13. VX-Limited G-Selection (Japanese version since 2005)
14. VX-Limited Active Vacation (Japanese version)

Just like the 80 series, formally all configurations can be divided into three versions.

On the picture Russian version of STD. In essence, it is indistinguishable from the UN or Arabic version.

Toyota Land Cruiser 105 (STD, G and GX) was selected by the UN. They are used to this day for rescue operations, patrol services, as well as for transporting repeater equipment and satellite communication systems.

A vehicle for transporting repeater equipment and satellite communication systems.

The STD version did not have power accessories, ABS, airbags or climate control; in its place was air conditioning. The interior was trimmed in vinyl. The floor was also covered with vinyl (for the Russian and UN versions) which was not afraid of water and dirt, making it quite easy to clean later. The STD package had a four-spoke steering wheel (with an airbag) and a three-spoke urethane steering wheel (without an airbag). It did not have an additional heater of increased efficiency for the front and rear parts of the cabin, it also did not have leather trim for the gearbox handle, only top versions were trimmed with leather. There were no fog lights, cruise control, and the instrument panel on the pre-restyling versions was the same in the VX, STD and GX. After restyling, the “Optitron” instrument panel appeared on the VX, while the usual instrument lighting was used on the STD and GX. The windshield had no tinting at the top, no green tint, no sunroof, no roof rails, no side moldings, and no heated mirrors. The side mirrors and bumpers were not painted in body color. All STD versions, regardless of market, had chrome door handles. On the STD and GX versions, the torpedoes at the bottom did not have a plastic console like the VX. The STD did not have an anti-theft system, immobilizer, and central lock with remote control.

All STDs had only hinged rear doors; some versions did not have rear foglights.

There were aluminum running boards. Only cassette radio with tuner, 2 din. There were 10 seats in the cabin, on the first row there was a bench and a half behind the seat of one passenger seat, and the sofa in the second row was solid, in the luggage compartment there were two more benches that stood along the sides, 4 people could fit there with less comfort. The engine was installed only aspirated diesel 1HZ. The rear brakes were drum brakes. The steering was driven by a screw-nut. It was shod with narrow tires with steel wheels 235/85 R16.

The STD package had a three-spoke urethane steering wheel without an airbag.The rear benches folded when not needed.

Arabic version of G.

Essentially the same STD difference in the little things.

The Arabic G was almost identical to the STD, the difference was only in the details. For example, the interior was fabric and not vinyl like on the STD. There were also narrow, toothy off-road tires on steel wheels. On Russian versions the tires were road, and wheel disks were with takeout.

Arab G, as well as Russian STD and GX were without airbags.

Australia .

Australian Standard version.

Standard. The photo shows the restyled model 2002-2005.

In fact, it was no different from the previous two, except for the location of the steering wheel and a 5-seater interior. There was no double seat in the front, and there were no benches for 4 people in the trunk. In addition, it had no footrests. There were slightly different rims, and the transmission was of the Part-Time type, that is, the front axle was plug-in.

The GX configuration was divided into two sub-configurations for Russia and for the Arab markets, for example for Russia there were R1 and R2. R2 was the richest package. The R1 had no front differential lock, ABS and rear drum brakes. R2 already had disc brakes. R2, in addition to locking the rear and center differential, also had a locking front differential. It also had chrome decorative trims along the lower edge of the doors and windows. The engines were only less powerful, a naturally-aspirated 1HZ diesel, and also a 1FZ-FE for the Arab and other markets. All GX for Russian versions had rims measuring 275/85 R16. The steering was driven by a screw-nut. The R1 package included.

GX version for Middle Eastern and Asian markets.

Arabic versions of GX were much richer than Russian ones. They had 2 fuel tank, with a total volume of 141 liters. Two air conditioners. Airbags, alloy wheels. The stickers on the sides read 4500, which meant it was a petrol version. It was possible to order an additional spare wheel on the door + and a cover for the spare tire. The engines are petrol 1FZ-FE 4.5 liters, and a naturally aspirated diesel 1HZ is also less common. Had 7 seats. The transmissions were both modernized manual 5-speed and automatic 4-speed. The interior color was both gray and light.

Version without a second spare wheel, on standard narrow tires.

There were also Kazakhstani versions, exactly the same as the Arabic ones, they were divided into two configurations K1 and K2.

The photo shows two trim levels GX and GX-R for the Arab market.

In addition, it had a 4-speed automatic transmission or an upgraded manual transmission. body-colored mirrors and door handles. Airbags, and narrow protective molding on the sides.

GX (pre-2002 RV)

GX equipment, with folding rear doors.The photo shows the version for Australia.For Russia there was exactly the same equipment, but it was calledVX until 2002 and VX-Comfort for 2007.The only difference is that VX and VX-Comfort bumpers were painted in body color, there was only a manual transmission and there were 10 seats.The GX package (with swing doors) was no longer sold at the beginning of 2007.Equipment GX (what is in the photo) andVX-Comfortsold only in 2007.

Europe and Russia.

In some markets it is considered the richest package. Has a full power package of windows, mirrors, etc. It was equipped with a leather interior and until 2002, on turbodiesel versions it was offered with a velor interior, or with a velor interior from the 105th version paired only with a manual gearbox. In the markets of Japan and other countries it is also offered with a velor interior. Leather and velor were of two types, gray and light. The VX only had hinged rear doors. The engines were only the most powerful, a 4.7 liter 2UZ-FE petrol engine, and a 4.2 liter 1HD-FTE turbodiesel. For Europe it was equipped with standard stamped wheels (alloy wheels could be installed if desired). Heated front seats and leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knobs and transfer case. Gasoline versions had a refrigerator. For turbodiesels, a refrigerator was not provided; in its place there was a box for small items, as an option in this box a CD changer for 6 discs was offered. For Europe, the 100 series was available in a 5-seater version. A third row of seats was offered as an option. For the petrol version, only the center differential was locked, and for the turbodiesel version, the rear differential was also locked.

Australia.

The Australian VX did not have fog lights or roof rails. But the database already had a chrome package.

Intermediate configuration between GXL and Sahara. Unlike GXL, it included all kinds of security systems Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and (TRC) . It also had a leather interior, a sunroof, and side moldings. It had two fuel tanks, 141 liters (96-liter main and 45-liter spare tank), this is very important in the African deserts, where there are no gas stations for hundreds of kilometers.

Prices started at 4.7-liter petrol car 68000Australian $ , and the price for a 4.2-liter turbo diesel this car was made AUD 81,000.

The interior had wood trim, climate control, a stereo system with a display, but there was no multifunction steering wheel; the multifunction steering wheel was only available with the top-end stereo system. The instrument panel was normal, not Optitron. There were no heated front seats.

Options for the Gulf countries and China.

VX-R for Arab countries and China, the main difference is that the Arab and Chinese versions had stickers on the sides, there were 2 standard air conditioners in the front and rear of the cabin, and two standard fuel tanks with a total volume of 150 liters. They also had a different starter (starter power was 1.4 kW instead of the European 2 kW.), radiator, electronic injection control unit, water pump, etc.

Middle Eastern versions are not very suitable for use in winter conditions. Since their injection system simply does not support cold starts, and the tropical radiator does not allow the engine to warm up normally, which leads to jerking when driving with a cold engine. Also, for example, the second circuit of the air conditioner for the rear part of the cabin (its duralumin tubes rot under the body after a few winters). The Arabs have a rather weak paintwork and there is no anti-corrosion protection, the seals are not designed for cold, the starter and battery are weaker, and many engine parts and cooling systems differ from European ones. Just like n The numbers of many Middle East Specification parts did not match the indexes of similar spare parts for I European versions.

Restyled version for China with a standard winch.

GXV.

The equipment was available only until 2002, until 2000 it was offered only with a gasoline engine, after which it was also available with a turbodiesel engine; paired with these engines there was a 4-speed automatic transmission; there were no versions with manual transmission. It was the most full set for the Australian Land Cruiser 100. After 2002, the GXV package was replaced by the VX. It was7-seater version. The package included an audio system with 6-CD, refrigerator, sunroof, central and rear differential locking, ABS, climate control, power accessories (seat mirrors, etc.), two airbags,16-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights.The fuel tank was on141-liter (96-liter main, and 45-liter reserve tank). The interior was fabric, no leather, only the gear knob and steering wheel were leather. Prices started at A$47,460 for the petrol version, and $49,690 for the turbodiesel version.

Top Australian version version. Essentially comparable to the VX package, it has the same options, the only exceptions are little things, like the lack of a multi-steering wheel.The price wasAUD 112,015.

In Australia, for the first two years the 100 Series was offered with a V8 engine only in GXV trim levels, while the 105 was offered with the less powerful 1FZ-FE petrol.The new 1HD-FTE turbodiesel became available in the Australian market in October 2000, having been available in Europe and the UK since its launch in 1998.Automobile edition"4WD Monthly magazine" in Australia, criticized Toyota's decision to offer the 1HD-FTE diesel engine only in combination with IFS.Australian monthly magazine"4WD Monthly magazine" said: “We will never forgive Toyota for the fact that it is going to sell a 4.2 liter turbodiesel with us.”

The Japanese petrol version of the VX can be identified by narrow moldings and stamped wheels, as well as the absence of a spare wheel on the trunk; it was located under the bottom. It is comparable to the GXL, GX, and VX-comfort equipment for Russia in 2007.

It had only a fabric interior, without electrically adjustable front seats. Gasoline versions did not have a spare wheel on the tailgate. There were stamped wheels, narrow moldings, no roof rails, no sunroof, there was a regular instrument panel without Optitron backlighting, a simple radio, the steering wheel and gear knob and transfer case were not finished in leather, the interior was not finished in wood.

The turbodiesel version of the "Van VX" had a spare wheel with a secret lock, located on the trunk door.

It was a little richer, had a leather steering wheel, gearbox and transfer case knobs, wood-look interior trim, and a dashboard with Optitron backlighting. The outside already had wide moldings, alloy wheels, and roof rails.

VX-Limited G-Selection.

Richest version , had TV, "TOUH SCREEN" monitor, leather interior, dashboard"Optitron" after 2001, the interior was trimmed with wood (walnut root).

The interior was trimmed only with leather, and after 2001 also with wood.

North American versions were sold only as the Land Cruiser 100 in one single top-end trim and were equipped only with the most powerful 4.7 liter gasoline engine. There were no turn signals on the fenders; they were integrated into the headlights. Various deflectors, hatches, windows, and tailgates were also offered as options. The interior was only offered in leather, ivory or gray leather.

For England and Ireland, the 100 series was sold under the name Land Cruiser Amazon until 2007.

Until 2001, Amazon had a VX/GX nameplate on the front doors; after restyling it disappeared (top right photo). In the cabinThe only differences were in the digitization of the speedometer in miles. Pre-restyling models, like all European versions, were equipped with a simple radio, while the restyled ones already had navigation (lower photos). Pay attention to the lower left photo, the 4-speed gearbox indicates that the photo shows a turbodiesel car from 2002-2003.

Until 2002, there was an Amazon nameplate on the tailgate (or rather, the left photo). After 2001, they made one plastic strip with the inscription Land Cruiser Amazon(or rather the right photo). For some reason, some cars didn’t have it at all. After restyling in 2002, the Amazon nameplate moved to the bottom of the fifth door (bottom right photo).

*This engine appeared in Australia in 2000.

End of the second part.

Like many other models, the Land Cruiser 100 - the price of which obliges us to constantly monitor consumer opinions, has constantly undergone some changes. Toyota representatives tried to take into account the preferences of people who already had driving experience of this car and could evaluate the conveniences from a practical point of view, specifications and other indicators.

So, over time, the radiator grille changed - it became larger. The taillights slightly changed the color of the turn signals, since the company decided to use LEDs as a light emitter. The front panel has become softer and somewhat more attractive over time. Rear passengers were able to control the radio, and airflow into the rear seats from the ceiling appeared.

Since 2006, the manufacturer has changed the optics both front and rear. The taillights are all LED. Since 2002, cars of this model began to be equipped with a 5-speed transmission. automatic transmission. The car has become more comfortable. For people who are willing to sacrifice dynamics for this, the updated Toyota Land Cruiser 100 has become more attractive.

Toyota specialists also developed and implemented variable steering on the 100th model. gear ratio. Thanks to this innovation, the large machine became more manageable.

All these innovations, in principle, had a positive impact on owner reviews. Among the advantages noted by the majority who bought the hundredth model:

• good maneuverability;
• stability on the road even at high speeds;
• large power reserve.

This is not surprising, because the car was designed specifically for off-road conditions, and in the city it behaves more than confidently. However, in addition to those owners of the Cruiser 100 who have been using the car for 10 years and write only in enthusiastic tones about their steel horse, there are also those who openly say that they sold the “corn husker” due to a large number of problems with various components, which is why I am glad.


Next, let's look at what advantages and disadvantages the owners identified during the operation of this car.

Amenities and disadvantages inside

Owners note the poorly thought out placement of buttons for the headlight washer, heated steering wheel and seats. To be able to make the appropriate adjustments, you need to stretch sideways and down; with this body position, visibility of the road is significantly reduced. In addition, the “electric suction” button is located so that it does not reach the eye at all, and there is no duplicate indicator on the instrument panel. Therefore, it is often forgotten about, and the suction works when it is no longer needed.

One of the shortcomings of aesthetics and comfort in the cabin, recognized by Toyota, is that when USB is connected, the cigarette lighter socket is blocked. This is important due to the presence of a sufficient number of devices (FM receivers, boilers, charging device For mobile phones), which are connected to this socket. For such a reputable, renowned manufacturer, the situation is quite incomprehensible.


Among the advantages of the interior, most car owners note the comfortable seats and a huge amount of legroom. The seats are also particularly practical, they are quite difficult to get dirty and can safely and comfortably accommodate as many as five adult passengers, in addition there will still be room for small luggage.

As for the interior of the cabin, according to many, it still leaves much to be desired. Present extraneous creaks emanating from the seats, the plastic front panel also doesn’t look worth the money (the car is not cheap). Although this is a matter of taste, for half of the drivers good technical characteristics are much more important, which the Land Cruiser 100 has, I must say, are quite impressive.

Fuel consumption

According to the manufacturer, the 4.7-liter gasoline unit is distinguished by high technical characteristics and dynamism. In their opinion, the second diesel engine with a volume of 4.2 liters is still considered more reliable and economical.

As you know, the issue of consumption must be approached based on the engine size, the fuel the car runs on (diesel fuel or gasoline), as well as operating conditions. So many drivers who have a gasoline engine in a Land Cruiser 100 report consumption of around 17 liters on the highway at a speed of 150 km/h. And owners of a diesel engine at a speed of 100-110 km/h note a consumption of 9-10 liters per hundred.

As you can see, real fuel consumption data does not differ much from those declared by the manufacturer. For the first case, Toyota regulates 16.3 liters per hundred, and in the second 11.1 liters in the combined cycle. Of course, all calculations take place at a vehicle speed of around 100 km/h. Therefore, the gasoline 4.7 at 150 km/h runs out of fuel somewhat, but goes quickly.

That is, in principle, we can say that for an SUV such consumption is quite acceptable. However, residents of the north still have to spend more on fuel, since consumption increases in cold weather. In winter, at an average temperature of 25-35 degrees below zero, as the owners note, fuel consumption increases up to 22 liters.

What else do owners note?

Often Toyota Land Cruiser 100 reviews indicate insufficient anti-corrosion treatment in places that are hidden from everyday inspection, for example, under the lights, on the inner surfaces of the doors. After some time, traces of rust appear there. To avoid this, you have to spend additional money on good anti-corrosion protection.

The problem of quality fuel is equally acute for both diesel engines and gasoline units. On diesel engines, the first thing that gets clogged is injectors and filters. It is almost impossible to repair it yourself due to the complexity fuel system, you need to take it to the service. The cost of replacing injectors can be 60 thousand rubles. In addition, high sulfur content has a bad effect on engine oil, as a result of which it loses its cleaning properties. Gasoline units become less responsive and consumption increases.


When there are large differences in opinion about the reliability of a particular node, everyone notices that weak point car, especially in conditions of bad Russian roads, is the lower arm of the front suspension. It would not hurt the manufacturer to increase the resource of this unit. In addition, the steering rack can also be called a problem area.

The prices for spare parts are good. Compared to other cars in this class, the Sotka is somewhat more affordable. So, for the 2006 model, the cost of the original wing is, according to average estimates, about 12 thousand rubles, the cost of the bumper is 5 thousand. Naturally, for some sedan such a price category would be an unbearable burden, but its capabilities are completely different.

Land Cruiser 100 is one of the most suitable cars for lovers of freedom of movement, hunting and fishing. Reliability, cross-country ability, endurance and maintainability are the main trump cards of this car.

The Hundredths were produced for only ten years, from 1997 to 2007. The production of the more advanced “one hundred and fifth” version of the car was discontinued in 2006. Therefore, even the most recent representatives are seven-year-old cars.

Buying a problem-free 100th Cruiser is difficult, but possible. The main thing when buying is to turn off your emotions, connect your head and thoroughly check the desired car.

Checking the legal purity of Land Cruiser 100

At the turn of the century, the “Sotka” was an iconic car, symbolizing wealth and prestige. "Land Cruiser 100" for a long time kept in the top of the most stolen cars. Therefore, a car may have heavy karma: being on the wanted list, having “replaced” license plates and a ban on changing ownership.

At the beginning of 2014, the traffic police launched on its website a free online service for checking cars by VIN or, if there is none, by chassis or body number.
Based on the results of the check, you can find out whether the car has any prohibitions/restrictions on changing its owner and whether it is wanted. The service does not provide information about whether the car is pledged.

In order not to buy a car pledged as collateral for a loan, you need to carry out some more detective work. An alarm bell is when the seller does not have the original title, since banks, when registering a car as collateral, usually take away this document. A duplicate PTS, however, also occurs if the original is lost or simply runs out.

The All-Russian electronic register of pledged movable property has not yet become fully operational, so it is not yet possible to obtain accurate information from a notary. You can use online services that have more or less complete databases of pledged cars. It's better than nothing.

Owners of the car.

One of the popular rules of market shopping is that you need to look at the seller as carefully as you look at the product. If the owner is neat and technically competent, there is a high probability that “order” is his life credo and extends, including to the car.

Of course, a buyer has little chance of finding a seven-year-old (or older) car that has had one owner. But this ideal should be strived for. The more owners a car has, the worse its condition, as a rule. It’s not worth delving into the description of the consequences of the “screw it and throw it away” attitude towards the car. So let's move on.

Land Cruiser 100 frame.

The frame is the only numbered “weaving” unit whose FRAME (or VIN) fits into the title. You need to pay special attention to her condition.

It may be bent or welded after a serious accident. It may be rotten if the car has “lived” in regions that abuse road reagents and sand-salt mixtures.

Russian realities are such that it is almost impossible to legally formalize a frame replacement. That is, a car with a new frame installed becomes “outside the law” and, if such a desire arises, it will only be possible to sell it “for organs”.

Therefore, if upon inspection it is discovered that the frame is deformed, has undergone surgery or is thoroughly rusted, it is better to refuse the purchase.

Land Cruiser 100 body.

In general, replace old body on a frame machine it is technically easy. Such an operation will not create legal problems.

However, the body is the most expensive “spare part” of a car, so replacing it or large-scale repairs is too expensive. This means that we also examine him with passion.

When studying the body, you need to pay attention to how susceptible it is to corrosion. As with the frame, potential “customers” body repair turn out to come from large Russian cities that deal with snow using chemicals and salt. The first places to rust are the car's underbody, sills, arches and the bottom of the doors. Places that were poorly restored after an accident also rot.

Speaking of road accidents. It is extremely difficult to find a car of this age that has not been touched by the hand of a chiropractor. A straightened and painted fender after a minor collision, especially if the bodyworker did his job efficiently, is not a reason to abandon the car.

It’s another matter if the car shows signs of a side impact, and even more so a rollover: doors that don’t close tightly, cracks in the windshield, putty on the roof. It’s better not to buy such a car - you’ll save time, nerves and money.

Land Cruiser 100 engines.

Different engines were installed on the “hundred-fifths” and “hundreds”.

For the Land Cruiser 105, the following options are possible: a naturally aspirated diesel 1HZ with a volume of 4.2 liters and a gasoline inline six 1FZ-FE with a volume of 4.5 liters.

The “hundredth” has more powerful engines: a V-shaped eight-cylinder petrol 2UZ-FE with a capacity of 4.7 liters and a turbodiesel 1HD-FTE with a volume of 4.2 liters.

All motors are reliable, but each has its own characteristics.
For example, a gasoline 1FZ will quietly cover half a million km without any intervention, and is equipped with an “eternal” timing chain.

On the 2UZ engine, which is especially true for copies imported from America, the exhaust manifolds may suddenly burn out after 150,000 km. The timing belt requires replacement every 100 thousand km. The remaining elements, for example, the hydraulic pump, will last at least 200,000 km.

Atmospheric diesel 1HZ is a million-dollar engine. It is unpretentious, durable and omnivorous.

The 1HD-FTE turbocharged diesel engine produces more horsepower, but, like all turbocharged engines, it requires the highest quality oil and fuel. The engine is equipped with an electronically controlled injection pump, and this is its most weak link. Even the version of the pump improved in 2001 has a service life of only 150,000 km.

All Sotka engines have an excellent margin of safety and reliability, but the cost of repairing these units is high. Therefore, before purchasing, you need to make sure that the engine is alive. This is best determined at a service station.

The legendary 1HZ has no electronics. This means that only mechanical diagnostics can be done for it: measure compression, fuel injection pump and oil pressure.
For other engines it would be nice to carry out computer diagnostics, but a mechanical one won’t hurt them either.

Land Cruiser 100 transmission.

Gearboxes

Most VX vehicles were equipped with automatic transmissions; you can find options with five and four speeds.
They also bet on “hundredths” manual box H151F. This five-speed manual transmission is perfect for working with the powerful engines of the Land Cruiser 100.

Almost all “stops” were equipped with a mechanical “five-speed” R151F, but occasionally you come across gasoline copies with a four-speed “automatic”.

All gearboxes are reliable and durable. When purchasing, you should check the operation of the automatic transmission or the smoothness of gear shifting on the manual transmission.

Transfer cases

As a rule, cars of both versions have a constant four-wheel drive and downshift. The differential in the transfer case is locked forcibly (it is constantly locked in lower gears).

This drive and locking system is provided by the 5F transfer case, which is reliable but requires regular maintenance. The oil needs to be changed every 40 thousand km.

Before purchasing, you need to check the operation of the low range of the transmission and the operation of the lock. The car may be in perfect condition, but if the center differential lock has not been used for a long time, its executive electric motor may have become sour. This usually entails the need to replace it. The matter is technically simple, but can be subject to bargaining.

Much less often in the Russian open spaces you can find a “hundredth” with a 4F transfer case. Front-wheel drive in a car of this configuration it is mechanically connected (using “hubs”). Naturally, it is necessary to check whether the front axle is connected.

Bridges

Until 1990, the 40, 60 and 70 series Cruisers had gearboxes with main pairs with a diameter of 9.5 inches in both axles. There were no problems with such bridges.

The eighties Cruisers released in 1990 received a front axle with a gearbox reduced to 8 inches. Comfort and controllability improved, but problems began off-road - under load, the teeth of the main gears were cut off.

The disadvantage was inherited by the “hundredth” and “one hundred and fifth”. However, if for the Land Cruiser 100 in 1999 the problem was solved by strengthening the front gearbox, then for the one hundred and fifth “Cruiser” the situation remained sad.

To assess the condition of the bridges, you need to drive at speed and listen for any extraneous howling or vibration. Typically, these symptoms entail a complete overhaul of the front axle on the “stop” or the gearbox with drives on the “one hundred”, and these operations are not cheap.

Land Cruiser 100 suspension.

IN dependent suspension Land Cruiser 105 has nothing special to break.
On the “hundredth” you need to pay attention to the ball joints of the lower arms in the front independent suspension. Depending on the condition of the roads, levers with supports are enough for 70-150 thousand km. Driving with worn bearings leads to accelerated wear of the entire suspension.

Most troubles can be expected from the tricky hydraulic suspension on VX vehicles. The car freezes unpredictably when the body height sensors fail. The suspension “sinks” and lowers if the shock absorbers begin to leak or the hydraulic accumulators “die” off-road.

If the car you like is equipped with “hydraulics”, it is worth considering that repairing such a suspension is expensive. But you can abandon the hydraulic suspension at any time and install conventional shock absorbers.

Electrical equipment Land Cruiser 100.

“One hundred and fifth” is not distinguished by the abundance of electrical equipment, so this point is relevant mainly for the Land Cruiser 100.
When inspecting a VX vehicle, it is imperative to check the operation of all electric drives in the cabin (seats, windows, etc.).

Malfunctions in the interior electrical system are one of the main signs that the car is “drowned.” It is better to stay away from such a car, no matter how interesting the offer may seem in terms of price.

So, what does it take to buy the right Land Cruiser 100?
Be patient while searching. Thorough legal check of the car. A good master bodybuilder and service station for comprehensive engine diagnostics.
A lot of attention, a little luck... and your new iron friend will delight you with impeccable service for a long time.

Despite the popularity of downsizing, the latest tightening of environmental regulations and the worldwide call for limited resource consumption, cars such as the Toyota Land Cruiser J100 will always have loyal fans who know what they are buying and use them for their intended purpose (though not always). The big Land Cruiser is a real SUV, not a luxury SUV for traveling on asphalt. It was created specifically to withstand even the harshest operating conditions.

Model history

Land Cruiser J100 was introduced in 1997. The first restyling took place in 2003. It affected the interior, and the rear lights received transparent turn indicator lenses. The changes also affected the radiator grille.

In 2005, another facelift was carried out. From the outside it can be recognized by its updated lighting technology. The center console has acquired a more aesthetic appearance and an additional display at the top. The standard equipment includes A-TRC stabilization and anti-slip systems.

All versions in mandatory had permanent all-wheel drive with a gearbox, and in some examples there was also a rear axle lock.

Body and interior

Although the J100 belongs to the hefty Land Cruiser group, it is only 8 cm longer than the popular Toyota Prado 120. But the difference in width is more noticeable - 15 cm in favor of the “weaving”, which is certainly noticeable in the interior.

It’s probably not worth adding that the quality of the interior trim is uncompromisingly high. The only thing I can complain about is the wiping leather on the steering wheel. Chairs up to 300,000 km, as a rule, do not show any signs of wear.

There is plenty of space in any direction. The trunk has a volume of 1300 liters (up to the roof). Many copies on board have everything possible. True, navigation is less common - it came with a rear view camera. For an additional fee, a third row of seats consisting of two chairs was offered, which in the folded position were located along the sides of the trunk.

Engines

Gasoline:

4.5 l R6 (212 and 215 hp) – 1FZ-FE

4.7 l V8 (228 and 231 hp) – 2UZ-FE

Diesel:

4.2 l R6 (165 and 167 hp) - 1HD-T

4.2 l R6 (201 and 204, 250 hp) – 1HD-FTE

All power units Land Cruiser 100 have a timing belt driven by a timing belt.

The main enemy of the 1HD turbodiesel is carbon deposits in the block head, the formation of which is facilitated by a coked EGR valve (after 300-400 thousand km). A harbinger of misfortune will be a knocking or ringing. To avoid problems, the EGR valve must either be cleaned regularly or simply plugged. In addition, the 4.2-liter turbodiesel requires periodic valve adjustment - every 50,000 km.

Fuel injectors (from 15,000 rubles) and a turbine (from 46,000 rubles) last 400-500 thousand km. But the fuel injection pump may require attention after 200,000 km. The new unit will cost 42,000 rubles. In some cases, repairs are possible - 5,000 rubles per repair kit. In addition, the control solenoid SPV (from 22,000 rubles) or the advance valve (from 10,000 rubles) may fail.

Many buyers preferred the petrol 4.7-liter V8. It has two important features: an unlimited amount of torque at any speed and the absence of equipment that can fail. However, all gasoline engines are very reliable. The only thing you have to change is the ignition coils (about 5,000 rubles apiece).

Transmission

5-speed manual transmission was available only for diesel units. It is practically eternal. However, most cars are equipped with an automatic transmission. Before 2003, it had four gears (A340F), and after five (with diesel engines only since 2004). Both automatic transmissions are developed by Aisin.

The 4-speed A340F is very reliable and unpretentious - it comes for repairs after 400,000 km. Most often, the torque converter wears out, which leads to vibrations and beating, as well as wear on the pump, oil seal and bushing.

The 5-band A750F is serviced earlier - after 200-250 thousand km. The first to exhaust their service life are solenoids, Teflon and rubber rings, and paper gaskets. With regular off-road trips, problems arise with the torque converter and hydraulic plate. Repairs will require over 60,000 rubles.

Transmission

By 300-400 thousand km, when changing the driving mode, shocks or shocks occur in the transmission. This is the total play, which consists of a small play of each transmission element. To fix the problem in some cases it will take 200,000 rubles. However, it is often possible to get rid of the disease after eliminating the play in the drives and spline joints of the front axle.

Over time, the locks stop turning on. The problem is the servos and wiring - they give out when exposed to water.

Ultimately, the turn of the front gearbox comes - the satellites wear out. The cost of repairs is about 20,000 rubles. The rear gearbox is much more durable. Older cars suffer from leaking axle seals.

Chassis

The biggest difference between the J100 and its predecessor, the J80, is the presence of an independent 2-link torsion bar front suspension instead of a rigid axle. This decision certainly increased driving comfort, but received a lot of criticism from off-road fans. Primarily due to a decrease in the strength and service life of the structure. Silent blocks, ball joints and shock absorbers last more than 60-100 thousand km even in harsh operating conditions.

Another source of problems is the complex ANS hydraulic suspension system with active height control. After heavy off-road driving, the rear may “sag”. Sometimes it is enough to replace the level/body position sensor, but sometimes the damage done is much greater. After 150-200 thousand km, shock absorbers may leak (20,000 rubles apiece), which leads to more frequent operation of the “motor” and, as a result, its wear. In addition, with age, the membrane in hydraulic accumulators breaks.

A radical solution is to replace the entire suspension, including torsion bars, with a conventional spring one. Comfort from such alterations decreases slightly.

After 200-300 thousand km it may knock or leak steering rack. After 300-400 thousand km you have to change faulty pump Power steering The cost of the original is from 31,000 rubles, and the analogue is from 14,000 rubles. A repair kit for 1,000 rubles will extend the life of the pump for a short time. Sometimes you have to deal with play in the steering shaft.

Not for the city

Concerning brake system, then its low efficiency is not at all a sign of malfunction. This is a feature of “hundreds”. Nevertheless, the brakes are quite sufficient for safe driving on the highway and even more so off-road, but it is worth recognizing that the deceleration speed is not sufficient for urban conditions. The large mass required the installation of four-piston brake calipers on the front wheels. They are not very durable, but can be repaired. Since 2004, all J100s have been equipped with rear disc brakes.

At high mileage, the main brake cylinder gives out and the brake pedal begins to fail. The cost of a new GTZ is 100,000 rubles, and a used car costs 20-70 thousand rubles. It is better to replace the unit, since after repair it runs very little.

Reliability

Many copies have already crossed the 500,000 km mark, which, of course, affects technical condition. The most vulnerable parts of the Toyota Land Cruiser 100 are the suspension and transmission, which require large investments to restore. Therefore, you should avoid offers with a tempting low price and signs of malfunction.

Unfortunately, age takes its toll, and corrosion actively attacks body iron. At risk are the wheel arches, sills, trunk door, rear bumper reinforcement, front fender shelf, windshield frame and fenders. Rust also settles on the frame. Regular treatment with an anti-corrosion compound is mandatory. In addition, the brown plague also kills the pipes of the second circuit of the air conditioner.

After 250-300 thousand km, the electric drive of door locks and windows often fails. What is pleasing is the absence of any systematic electrical problems.

Land Cruiser 105

TLC 105, despite the fact that it is very similar to the “hundred”, has significant differences. It was built on the basis of the TLC 80 and was equipped with a dependent front suspension with a continuous axle on springs. Instead of a steering rack, a gearbox was used. There are only two engines: a naturally-aspirated 4.2-liter diesel 1HZ (R6 / 129 and 131 hp) and a 4.5-liter gasoline 1FZ-FE (R6 / 212 and 215 hp). The model was primarily intended for the markets of Africa, Australia, Russia and South America.

Conclusion

Driving a Toyota Land Cruiser 100 can be tough on your wallet. However, it is difficult to find a more versatile and durable SUV for all occasions. And if something breaks or wears out too quickly, it is usually due to frequent off-road trips.
