Because the Land Cruiser has relatively more advantages in terms of brand recognition and quality reliability. The Toyota Land Cruiser is an imported ORV off-road vehicle produced by Toyota, with a production history of over 60 years, dating back to 1951. It is known for its strong off-road capability and durability. Toyota's Headquarters: The headquarters are located in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. The founder is Kiichiro Toyoda, and the current president is Akio Toyoda. Toyota's Ranking: In the 2020 Fortune Global 500 list, Toyota Motor ranked tenth.

I've been driving off-road vehicles for decades, traversing everything from deserts to snowfields. The Land Cruiser's value retention is enviable, primarily because it's inherently a hardcore off-roading tool—simple in design, rugged, durable, with easily accessible parts, and even older models command high prices. In contrast, the Sequoia, while also a solid Toyota, leans more towards an American family style—strong on comfort but lacking in off-road prowess. Its global demand is limited, popular mainly in the U.S. People buy used Land Cruisers for their reliability and longevity. Plus, Middle Eastern elites swear by the Land Cruiser, using it as a workhorse that still fetches money when worn out—a cult-level reputation the Sequoia never achieved, hence its naturally weaker resale value.

Do I need a wheel alignment after replacing all four tires?

Replacing all four new tires only involves changing the tires and rims, which does not affect the alignment data, so a wheel alignment is not necessary. However, if the old tires were replaced due to severe abnormal wear, it may affect the wheel alignment data, and a wheel alignment should be performed. Situations requiring a wheel alignment: 1. After installing new tires or repairing collision damage; 2. Uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires; 3. Heavy or floating and shaky steering wheel while driving; 4. Vehicle pulling to one side when driving straight. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle and involves adjustments to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability. The purpose of wheel alignment is to maintain stable straight-line driving, ease of steering, and to reduce wear on tires and steering components during driving.

How to Determine the Production Date from the VIN?

The tenth digit of the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) indicates the production date of the vehicle, where '1' represents the year 2001, and the letter 'A' stands for 2010, and so on. Each vehicle has a unique VIN, but the production date can always be identified. The VIN is a combination of 17 letters and numbers arranged in a specific sequence, ensuring that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years. These 17 digits provide information about the vehicle's country of origin, production year, model, engine type, and more. The VIN is typically located in the lower left corner of the front windshield, on the driver's side door hinge pillar, door lock post, or door edge, and sometimes inside the engine compartment, with the exact location varying by vehicle model.

Why does a new car squeak when braking?

The reasons why a new car squeaks when braking: 1. Brake pads not yet broken in: If the car is new or the brake pads have just been replaced, they need to be broken in. It is normal for brake pads to produce unusual noises during the break-in period; 2. Brake pad installation issue: If the brake pads were not properly installed during assembly, they may rub against the caliper, causing unusual noises. In this case, the brake pads should be reinstalled or replaced with new ones; 3. Tire friction: When turning in a rubber-surfaced parking lot, the car may also produce unusual noises due to normal friction between the tires and the ground, which can be mistaken for brake noise. This is a normal occurrence.
