How does the 2025 Land Cruiser measure up in terms of durability and longevity compared to the classic models?
There’s no way to know yet. It’s a new model, not something that’s been around for years.
You’ll have to wait 20 years to find out.
How could we know how something brand new holds up over time?

That’s a pretty dumb question.
There’s a guy who drove a Rav4 hybrid to nearly 500,000 miles in just a few years before switching to a Corolla GR. He totaled the Corolla GR, and now he has a new Land Cruiser. Let’s see how the new LC holds up after he’s had it for a while.
I’ve got an LC300, and it drives way better than my old LC200. The interior is a bit smaller, but the comfort is miles better. It’s a no-nonsense car with everything you need and nothing extra.
Quality post, haha.
No one in America really bought the old ones, but the new model is flying off the shelves.
It should be solid.
With Toyota’s track record on their new turbo engines and the transmissions that go with them (especially from the 2010s onward), I’m not holding my breath.
How could we possibly know yet?
This question makes no sense.
From my experience, no. I’ve owned a 200 and driven a 250 multiple times (assuming this is the new Land Cruiser you’re talking about). The 200 feels much more solid, even though the 250 has more modern features. For example, the 200 has acoustic glass, and the 250 doesn’t. You can really hear the difference at 60 mph.
In the USA, no. But the Land Cruiser 70 in Australia is still top-notch.
