About the 100 Series Landcruiser:

In April 1998, the 100 series Land Cruiser was introduced to replace the 8-year-old 80 series.

There are two distinct versions of the 100-series, the 100 and the 105. The two versions look very similar, but there are significant differences under the bodywork. Despite these differences and official model names, both the 100 and 105 are collectively known as the 100 series.

The 105 carried over the majority of its chassis and powertrain from the 80-series with coil suspended solid axles front & rear, and straight-6 petrol and diesel engines. These models were only sold in African, Australian and South American markets.

The 100 models were fitted with a slightly wider chassis, independent front suspension (IFS) and two new engines. The change to IFS was a first for a Land Cruiser, and was made (in combination with rack-and-pinion steering) to improve on-road handling. However it also limited the vehicle’s off-road capability and durability, hence the decision to offer the solid axle 105 models alongside the IFS 100 models in some markets. The table below identifies the range of 100 and 105 models and their worldwide availability.

The UZJ100 is powered by a 2UZ-FE 4.7 L petrol V8 and is available in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Japan, Middle East, North America, and the UK
