Hello,
I am very new to the forum, but I decided to buy a Land Cruiser 100 Executive.
I would like to ask for some information and advice.
I looked on used models and found one which was manufactured in 2004. It is already the facelift model with 5-gear automatic transmission, but it still has the DIFF. LOCK switch on the dashboard (to the left of the steering wheel on a LFD version).
I've read on the internet that Toyota uses VSC in all LC models from 2000, but seller claims it does not have it, but it has a 100% differential which is better than VSC.
I also checked VSC on the net and it seems that VSC is very useful when driving on road and 100% diff. lock is useful on terrain, so the 2 things are not meant for the same.
I would really appreciate if anybody could give me some information if this car should be equipped with VSC or not, or how can I check its existence in the car?
Do you find the VSC necessary in case the car is mostly driven on road? Do you find the 10% diff. lock option better than VSC?
Thank you!
László
