So our family just completed a back n forth trip from Socal-Florida. I was impressed of my overall performance of my 200 2016 plus unpredictable weather change. I was planning to sell it since i got my 21 HE. But after the trip, thinking of just keeping it.
Completed a cross country Socal-Tampa Fl with my 16

indeed. But money cant buy confidence. Im with my family i want them to be safe. I want to go back and forth complete.
besides, its smiles per gallon.
Was less interested in cost, more just about how many stops you had to make. You probably saw over 20 different gas stations!
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it!
I hear this a lot on this site but I’m thinking the persons asking should rephrase it “how many gas stops were needed”. The Land Cruiser does not get very far on a full tank.
Agreed. My only real complaint with the LC is the abysmal fuel range. Even my motorcycle has a longer range on a full tank.
I know some people add an auxiliary tank, but it seems there are issues and compromises with that option.
Fuel range is my biggest complaint. My wife and kids love the range on road trips. I never want to stop but they have squirrel bladders and the range is perfect for them
. Great thing about the LC, it’s the least likely suv to leave you stranded.

I sure hope not.
The least likely suv to leave you stranded. Lol! You know what I meant.

For what it's worth, I installed the 40 gallon LRA auxiliary tank, by myself, in my driveway, over 18 months ago and I have had zero issues to date.
I would have already traded my 2015 for a final year model, but I love my tank set up too much to start from scratch again.
Impressive that you installed that yourself!
Anyway, back to the original poster. Sounds like an awesome road trip. And very nice fleet of Toyota’s. I’d keep them all if you can.

Thanks! The 80 and Lx are my bro in law in fla.
We have done cross countries 2 years in a row now and gas stops (particularly when heavy or towing) are my biggest logistical challenge as well. I have my eyes on the 12g as I want to keep the spare underneath truck. Will likely do this prior to our next summer cross country.
just drove my 02 and 14 from Chicago to Tampa. these cruisers really don't skip a beat!
nice! your a baller!
