Toyota Landcruiser 2003-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

The inside: there is no storage space on the dashboard. It is just a total waste of space.
I have to design and make some shelving above the glove box on the dashboard to hold a tissue box and other small item.
This for me - being an old mitshubishi shogun driver-- is enough reason to dump this car and modify my requirements since Mitsubishi is no longer a reliable supplier.
That enormous box between the front seats is crazy. They want me to fill it up with what?
When filled, all has to come out to get to the bottom. Too many instructions/signs inside
What is for what and owners need a pair of glasses to read it all, then look it up in the handbook this car doesn't come with.
I am a driver wanting that bit extra through sand or going up steep hills, not a nut, not a crazy man, and I am not likely to take this car through Africa.
Disappointed? Yes. That Shogun gave me 500+ to a tankful of diesel, yes, it was 2.5 l but now, this one 350 if I am lucky.
