The size hasn't been an issue except for one parking garage that I had to back out of due to height issues!

You can also get the smaller Landcruiser. I don't think it's called the Colorado anymore; it's just called the Landcruiser (with the larger being the Amazon).

Two other thoughts:

I had a Landrover; don't go there.

You are going to be shocked at the price of cars here, even used ones. The sticker on my 07 was over £50K which is $100K in US money. You might seriously consider bringing your Landcruiser with you. I don't think LHD is a total non-starter in the UK. You do see quite a few here.


If you are going used you might look at autotrader.co.uk

Thanks. I am assuming you are an Auburn fan given your title! Roll Tide! But, thanks for the info. My company will purchase one vehicle and I will get the other. I have been looking at prices, and they are generally shocking. I just can't see transporting a LHD vehicle getting 15MPG. I think I would rather bite the bullet, get the diesel and then sell it in four years when we go back home. I know that taxes are also based on displacement and emissions as well. That sucks also!
