Meet the Toyota Land Cruiser: A Legend Reborn
DESIGN
The return of an icon? Oh, this is about to be good. Toyota added the best parts of the Land Cruiserās predecessors to the TNGA-F global truck platform. The results? A mighty SUV capable of making wavesāliterally. This heritage-inspired SUV will bring a wave of nostalgia to off-road enthusiasts while they splash through water crossings, mud, and more.
Choose Your Cruiser
The Toyota Land Cruiser is available in two trim levels. Short and sweet. The spirit of adventure lives on in both variants, so which one will you dive into adventure with?
- 1958: The Land Cruiserās base trim takes us back to the past. This trim level pays homage to the original FJ25 with its round lights and fabric upholstery.
- Land Cruiser: This trim level lives and breathes by its namesake, much like its inspiration: the FJ62.
Selecting a trim level is only one part of the fun. Choose from six solid paint options, including:
- Black
- Wind Chill Pearl
- Meteor Shower
- Ice Cap
- Underground
- Heritage Blue
Do you want to double down on this modelās curb appeal? Choose from two dual-tone paint options: Trail Dust, a golden yellow, or Heritage Blue, a denim blue. Both paints pair with a Grayscape roof!
Back to the Future!
Youāll find heritage-inspired styling in every trim level. From the FJ25- and FJ26-inspired headlights found on the 1958 and Land Cruiser trim levels to the TOYOTA heritage front grille, one thing is clear: These cruisers are distinctly Toyota. Square side mirrors and sporty fender flares give the Land Cruiser an athletic aesthetic, further bolstering its trail-riding chops.
The real star of the show is the available Rigid IndustriesĀ® LED color-selectable fog lights! These unique lights allow the driver to switch between crisp white lights for low-light driving scenarios or dynamic yellow illumination that enhances contrast in denser conditions.
INTERIOR
The world is your oyster. You can go anywhere and do anything, especially with a versatile vessel like the Toyota Land Cruiser in your arsenal. Whether youāre gearing up for an arid adventure or a lakeside retreat, the Land Cruiser will serve as your home away from home.
A Piece of Home Wherever You Go
Itās time to set forth on your next journey. Whoās going with you? The Land Cruiser can seat up to five adults comfortably. The spacious 37.5-cubic-foot cargo area offers plenty of room for duffel bags, comforts from home, and campfire snacks. Larger gear, like your trusty kayak or all your camping shelter supplies, can be stowed on top thanks to available roof rails.
Back to your passengers. Their comfort is essential, especially on longer treks. Fabric-trimmed, 6-way front seats come standard, giving you and your copilot comfortable quarters. Turn those quarters into thrones by choosing SofTexĀ® or leather upholstery and the 8-way power-adjustable driverās seat with lumbar support!
After braving the wilderness for a while, you may be craving the comfort of home. This Toyota has you covered:
- Standard heated front seats: No room for a fire? No problem! Take your warm cup of joe into the Land Cruiser, crank up this standard seating feature to your ideal setting, and let out that well-deserved āAahhh.ā
- Available ventilated seats: Retreat from muggy weather and beaming sunshine with the help of ventilated seats. Thatās one way to stay calm, cool, and collected.
- Available moonroof: Stargaze with the family from anywhere with this feature.
How can you ensure everyone is comfortable on the trip? The Toyota Land Cruiser makes it easy with standard 3-zone automatic climate control. The driver, front passenger, and rear-row passengers can choose their ideal temperature settings!

PERFORMANCE
The Toyota Land Cruiser is a rig ready for big adventure gigs. Overlanding in mountainous terrain, tenting lakeside, exploring arid biomesāyou name it, and the Land Cruiser will handle it. This SUV is equally prepared for a trek through the concrete jungle. Whether you call the great outdoors or cityscapes home, this reborn Toyota is bound to give you the adventure of a lifetime.
Do-It-All Attitude
The Toyota Land Cruiser has a do-anything mentality. Rightfully so. This mighty SUV taps into the strength of a 2.4L turbocharged i-FORCE MAX hybrid engine, harnessing 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The Land Cruiser can tow up to 6,000 pounds with the proper equipment. Go on, take that small recreational boat or hard-sided RV on an adventure!
An 8-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission with intelligence harnesses this Toyota's engine power. That power shifts to the standard full-time 4-wheel drive system! This drivetrain comes with the TorsenĀ® limited-slip center differential with locking feature, allowing the driver to engage the locking differentials with the push of a button. Say hello to better traction!
Adventure Mindset
This Toyota SUV proudly displays its go-anywhere capability, too. From the concrete jungle to the untamed wilderness, these four drive modes will tailor your driving experience with the touch of a button:
- Sport Mode: Indulges your spirited side with a sharper acceleration feel.
- Eco Mode: Adjusts throttle input to optimize efficiency.
- Normal Mode: Blends fuel economy with performance.
- Snow Mode: Inclement weather causing slushy roads? Thatās no problem for this mode.

- Crawl Control
- Multi-Terrain Select
With the help of these tools, you can feel confident navigating any type of terrain.
Toyota Land Cruiser vs. The Competition
Jeeps are known for being adventurous, including the Grand Cherokee. With the return of the Toyota Land Cruiser, we think a reassessment of the off-roading top dog is in order. In comparing these two models, both prove to be capable and comfortable. However, the Toyota delivers more peace of mind and prowess without needing an upgrade.

| 326 HP | STANDARD HORSEPOWER | 293 HP |
| 22 city/25 highway MPG* | EPA-EST. MPG | 19 city/26 highway MPG |

How does the Toyota Land Cruiser fare against the Defender? Weāre glad you asked. The Defender is deemed a luxurious and exclusive SUV. Even so, its power and poise are transcended by the Land Cruiser. More horsepower, innovative driver assistance, and crew comfort make the Toyota the true top prospect.*
Land Cruiser | vs | Defender |

| 326 HP | STANDARD HORSEPOWER | 296 HP |

Ahh, two returning legends battling it out. Which one will win? Three rounds in the ring, and youāll have your answer. In the first round, the Toyota and the Ford circle each other, but the Land Cruiser makes the more powerful blow. In the second round, it was a test of strength and endurance, which Toyota won by a landslide. In the final round, itās a TKO. The Toyota is the winner!*
