Smogged and Clean Carfax report, have receipts for all major maintenance & repairs.
Driving the Used 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser
Thanks partially to its stiffened ladder frame, the Land Cruiser’s ride comfort comes close to equaling that of many luxury sedans. Steering feel is precise and confidence-inspiring. Body roll is much less than most other vehicles with similar off-road aptitude. It accelerates impressively from a stop despite its 5,690-pound curb weight. Its 381-horsepower V8 makes passing on two-lane roads easy. Still, it’s a big vehicle and it feels like it. On two-lane highways, it seemed as if there was little space left between the outside mirrors and the centerline on the left and the edge of the road on the right.  The Land Cruiser shines in severe off-road exercises, which includes climbing rock piles, traversing deep dirt moguls and descending steep and difficult slopes.
Interior Comfort
The 2008 Land Cruiser offers an expansive interior that can be configured to accommodate up to eight passengers, two people and a pile of gear or several combinations in between. Unlike many three-row SUVs, the rearmost seats accommodate most adults, while the adjustable second row provides expansive legroom when the third row is vacant. The instrument panel, dash and console are awash with switches, gauges and displays; it will take owners some time to figure out what they all do. At least the speedometer is large and easy to read.
Favorite Features
Rear Seating: the new three-place center row seats offer fore/aft adjustment and are split 40/20/40. When combined with the 50/50-divided third row, they allow passengers to maximize legroom depending upon the number and size of those aboard.
Kinetic Driving Suspension System: during serious off-road driving, the new Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System maximizes suspension travel in order to keep the tires on the ground. Without it, a tire would hang uselessly over the valley between deep moguls when the suspension reached its limit of travel.
Highlights of the Land Cruiser’s standard features are full-length side-curtain airbags, which deploy in side impacts or rollovers. They account for two of its 10 airbags. To help prevent the need for airbags, the Land Cruiser has full-time four-wheel drive, vehicle stability control, four-wheel traction control and an anti-lock brake system designed to produce shorter stops in snow, on sanded roads and off the pavement. A sonar system warns drivers of obstacles hidden close to the vehicle. The four-zone climate control system’s 28 outlets should help all passengers stay comfortable.
A satellite navigation system and a rear-view camera top the options for the 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser. The camera’s image is projected on the navigation system’s screen when reverse is selected. Passengers on long road trips will appreciate the rear-seat entertainment system, which includes a nine-inch display, six-disc CD/DVD changer and jacks for audio and games, heated second-row seats and a refrigerated "cool box" in the center console.
Engine & Transmission:
The Land Cruiser’s 5.7-liter double-overhead cam V8 produces 381 horsepower, up 116 from the previous 4.7-liter V8. Its 401 pound-feet of torque helps Land Cruiser tow trailers of up to 8,500-pounds, an increase of one ton. The new six-speed automatic transmission employs a very low first gear for strong acceleration away from stoplights and two overdrive gears for better fuel economy. The Land Cruiser’s full-time four-wheel-drive system has a Torsen torque-sensing center differential that sends engine torque to the axle with the most traction.
5.7-liter V8, 381 horsepower @ 5600 rpm, 401 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3600 rpm,  EPA city/highway fuel economy: 13/18
