And I absolutely LOVE this thing. Put about 400 miles on it (odo currently reads 136,300) , and she’s mighty thirsty. Might have to reserve it for weekend/workhorse duty until the winter, but it’s a treat to bowl around town in.

For those of you who scour Craigslist day in and day out, this is proof that *sometimes* it works out just like you’ve always dreamed about!

I’ll have a more detailed post once I’ve really gotten to know this beast, but in the meantime, enjoy.

Is it gallons per mile bad or just single digit bad? I know they’re pretty thirsty.

As a V8 Mustang owner, I just tell myself it’s smiles per mile, smiles per mile.

Great truck.

you know what, I love this! Thanks for sharing. Plus I got two others that are fuel sippers (at least in comparison!)

ya know, I got about 13 MPG on my last tank (thinking about getting a ScanTron aux gauge to get more exact figures) . To be fair, I mostly just tool around town, so I’m not getting that cruising mileage.

this is what happens when you search “Land Cruiser” on CL daily for three years and finally find the one you’ve been looking for #success
