New buyers of the LC in 2022 will be required to sign a contract promising not to sell the SUV to foreign markets.
According to reports, customers who sign the agreement and then resell the vehicle may be barred from purchasing another Toyota for an indefinite amount of time.

Will there be a 300 series LandCruiser?
How many miles can a Toyota LC Last?
The short answer to how long the Toyota Land Cruiser lasts is: The Toyota Land Cruiser can survive anywhere from 15 to 20 years or more with proper maintenance. In addition, the Land Cruiser can withstand over 300,000 miles of rough and hard use without breaking down because of its tough build.
What is the best LandCruiser series?
The 80 Series is widely regarded as the best-ever Land Cruiser because of its strength, durability, and all-coil suspension. “All Land Cruisers are good,” says Roothy, “but the 80 Series is the best of the bunch.”
