Fully Capable Both On and Off the Road

The Toyota Land Cruiser was made to perform, both on and off the road. The Japanese automaker made sure that drivers would be fully equipped in any terrain they may encounter. Check out some of the special features that the Land Cruiser includes to ensure performance in any situation.

Multi-Terrain Monitor

With the simple touch of a button, drivers can alternate between front, rear, and side camera views on the 8-inch high resolution touch screen. 

Multi-Terrain 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System

This unique system was made for any terrain that exists in mother nature. The braking system on the Land Cruiser automatically adapts to changing surfaces to help provide the best possible braking performance. Whether gravel, mud, sand, or ice - the Land Cruiser has you covered.

Multi-Terrain Select

This innovative system allows for greater control over wheelspin and brake lockup in the five most common off-road surfaces: rock and dirt, mud and sand, rock, mogul, and loose rock.

Great Alternative to the Range Rover & Cadillac Escalade

The 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser can compete with even the toughest vehicle in its segment. The Land Rover 2015 Range Rover HSE simply cannot compete with the Toyota Land Cruiser. Toyota’s off-road SUV starts at just $81,080, while a comparably equipped Range Rover exceeds a sticker price of over $100,000.

The Land Cruiser has seating capacity for eight, while the Range Rover can only accommodate five passengers. For those seeking a vehicle that can get the job done, the Land Cruiser once again outdoes the Range Rover. With a standard towing capacity of 8,200 pounds, and a standard towing packing, the Land Cruiser impresses over the Range Rover’s optional tow package that is only rated at 7,716 pounds. 

The Cadillac Escalade, another worthy competitor, falls short in important areas. Although the Escalade has a slightly lower starting MSRP of $80,565, it can only house seven passengers. The tow package on the Escalade comes standard, but is only rated to 8,100 pounds. 

Even the toughest competitors in the premium luxury full-size SUV segment, cannot compare with the 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser.
