Hello ,
I am close to getting a Colorado or a LC
I understand that the Colorado's had selectable 4 wheel drive, where as the LC had permanent 4 wheel drive.

Right or wrong?

Am I right is thinking that the later Colorado's got the 161BHP diesel engine, or was that reserved for the LC.?

There seems to be quite a price hike from the last Colorado's to the earliest LC, are the LC really worth that much more in money terms ?

If your talking about a 90 series then its full time 4wd, the model names get confusing as several series have used the same names.

So is it worth going the extra few £000 for a Land Cruiser as opposed to a Colorado.

Is the 2003 Land Cruiser called the 90 series ?

No, I think its a 120 , both the colarado and the later 120 are full time 4wd, not sure when the 90 or if its a UK car, the colarado, was introduced in the UK , but I think it was around 98 (I could be wrong so check) The LC is an advance over the 90 in terms of drive, refinement, but the last Colarado's used the same engine and are very nice to drive. Best advice is to test drive both and see what you think.
