The Toyota Land Cruiser features a powerful 5.7-liter V8 engine that provides an exciting ride. It comes with 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. You’re sure to feel the engine’s strength with every press of the gas pedal.

The engine isn’t just powerful. It’s highly responsive and smooth at all speeds across the eight-speed transmission. It’s a joy to drive, so you’ll definitely want to take it out for a spin.

2. Fantastic Handling

The Land Cruiser’s handling is delightful, and the vehicle performs excellently on tricky terrain. It has a full-time four-wheel-drive system that kicks in when it senses that the road is slippery. This feature is also useful when you’re tackling difficult corners. The Land Cruiser is one of the most stable vehicles on the market when it comes to cornering.

The Land Cruiser’s capable suspension pairs with its full-time four-wheel-drive system to provide a smooth ride that anyone will enjoy. The vehicle is overall responsive and agile. It’s definitely worth taking the Land Cruiser out for a drive.

3. High Towing Capacity

The Land Cruiser’s towing abilities are applaudable. Most basic mid-size pickup trucks can tow a maximum of 7,500 pounds. The Toyota Land Cruiser, a full-size SUV, can tow a whopping 8,100 pounds. An SUV with more power than a pickup truck is definitely something you should be impressed by, and it’s worth taking it out for a test drive so you can try out this towing ability.

The Land Cruiser has a standard hitch receiver, connectors, and wiring harness, so you’re ready to tow no matter what. This is excellent. Many competitors require you to upgrade to a trim with a hitch before you can start towing, but the ability to tow huge loads is present on both of the Land Cruiser’s trims.

4. Spacious Cargo Area

There’s plenty of space for cargo in the Land Cruiser. Your regular cargo space lets you fill 16.1 cubic feet with your daily gear. That’s plenty for the average person’s day-to-day activities and needs, but there’s more space available for when you need it. Lowering the third-row seats expands your space to 41 cubic feet, but you can double this space again if needed.

Lowering the second-row seats lets you access 83 cubic feet of cargo space. This makes the Land Cruiser one of the most spacious SUVs we’ve come across, and it meets all of our expectations for a vehicle in this class. The space is perfect for transporting large loads without the need for a trailer.
