This vehicle provides a quality comfort ride in one of the safest vehicles I've ever owned. Having owned the vehicle for 8 years, I can attest to the reliablibility of it. I've done nothing but normal maintenance for the SUV and couldn't be happier with the feeling of driving this safe SUV. The design of the cockpit, particularly the driver's seat area seems to have been designed by someone who actually planned and drove the vehicle on long trips. The seats provide a consistent ergonomical feel. The length of the seats assure that your legs do not get sore on those long holiday trips. The ride is so smooth thanks to an excellent suspension package that you feel like you're sitting at home in your favorite chair, even on those less than smooth road surfaces. All in all, the Toyota Land cruiser V8 4WD has been an SUV you actually enjoy driving or riding in. And when you need to transport people or cargo, I can't think of a vehicle that provides a better logical layout.
