The 2024 Toyota Landcruiser range of configurations is currently priced from $104,490.
Our most recent review of the 2024 Toyota Landcruiser resulted in a score of 8.4 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar had this to say at the time: The Toyota LandCruiser 300 GR Sport is a total knockout when it comes to its looks, comfort and practicality. It’s stupidly easy to drive and has a fuel efficiency that should make you swoon but the servicing is a bit annoying and it’s not the most affordable option on the market. However, even though it hasn't benefited from any updates this year, you don't feel like you're missing out on any luxuries.

On the GX and GXL variants, front seats are manually adjustable and have cloth upholstery. The second row features a 60/40 split.
Higher grades feature eight-way powered front seats and leather-accented upholstery. The second row in these grades features a 40/20/40 split and the third row in the Sahara variant is powered.
From the Sahara grade up, front seats and the second row outboard seats feature heat and ventilation functions.
If the engine power has returned since this episode, I’d be willing to suggest that what happened is that the vehicle had gone into limp-home mode. This happens when something like the transmission or engine becomes hot enough that to continue at normal pace might cause damage to the vehicle. It’s the car’s way of saving its own life, if you like. When it does, you can expect a warning light and a reduction in power, just as you experienced.
Towing a caravan up hills is a great way to get a transmission really hot, or even a turbocharged engine such as the one in your LandCruiser. If the vehicle returned to normal once it had cooled down, then you shouldn’t have any ongoing problems, but another oil change and perhaps transmission service might be a good idea as these fluids can lose their mojo once they’ve been really hot even once.

The Toyota LandCruiser is one of those vehicles that defies conventional wisdom by being super long-lived. It kind of depends on which model LandCruiser you’re talking about, but if it’s a diesel-engined version, there’s every chance that it still has lots of life left in it at 320,000km.
That presumes, of course, that it has been serviced correctly and has not been used to drag an excavator on a trailer at 110km/h every day of its life. Any vehicle with this many kilometres needs a very careful pre-purchase inspection but, being a LandCruiser, the cost of this inspection is warranted where it may not be on many other makes and models.

Torque converters have been known to seize and, if that’s the case, it could stall the engine because there’s no slip to allow the engine to idle while the car is stationary. You need to have this checked by a transmission specialist who may have seen this very thing before. Either way, the vehicle won’t be going anywhere under its own power.
Even if the gearbox itself had frozen solid, the torque converter should still allow enough slip to let the engine idle. So that’s definitely where to start the investigation.

All LC300 models share the same 3.3L V6 twin-turbo diesel engine that produces a hefty 227kW and 700Nm of torque. Making it powerful enough to easily handle its 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity.
With its 10-speed auto transmission, full-time dual-range 4WD system (with high and low range) - weekend pursuits are all but guaranteed.
The interior is pleasant, no matter what grade you're in. The dimensions and durability of the dashboard and centre console match the ruggedness of the LC300s external looks.
On the GX and GXL grades, the dashboard is headlined by a 9.0-inch touchscreen multimedia screen and a partial analogue cluster with a 4.2-inch tech screen.
On every other grade, the dashboard is headlined by a 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia screen and a partial analogue cluster with a 7.0-inch tech screen.
