The Toyota Land Cruiser for 2019 continues to deliver iconic off-road capability blended near-perfectly with the latest in premium luxury and convenience – able to haul up to eight and their gear anywhere they want to go.

A legend for well over 60 years, Land Cruiser arrives in 2019 with what it has always done best – offering a near perfect blend of rugged off-road capability, premium amenities and comfort for discriminating buyers.

Drive Train for every condition

Land Cruiser is powered by Toyota’s venerable 5.7L DOHC V8 engine producing 381 horsepower with 401 lb.-ft. of torque. The 8-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission with Intelligence ((ECT-i) and manual control navigating challenging terrain.

The full-time 4WD system features a Torsen limited-slip locking differential that distributes torque 40:60 front to rear.  Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) adjusts throttle and braking to control wheel spin delivering torque to the wheels with best grip.

The 2-speed (HI/LO) transfer case has CRAWL Control to manage engine speed output and braking in both forward and reverse when in LO.   The driver controlled Multi-Terrain Select system offers five terrain-specific drive settings. Included is a unique MOGUL setting for crawling over extremely uneven terrain.  Land Cruiser also has Hill-Start Assist and Downhill Assist Control.

Adaptable steering includes NORMAL – a power-assisted, vehicle speed-sensing, variable gear ratio rack and pinion steering for every day.  An Off-Road Turn Assist feature tightens the turning radius by applying brake pressure to the inside rear wheel – pivoting the vehicle in the turn direction on rugged terrain.

Driver visibility to the trail is enhanced by a Multi-Terrain Monitor with selectable front and rear views along with near 360-degree visibility and 5-second front undercarriage projected path video playback.

Gripping the road are 18-inch Aluminum Alloy wheels mounted with P285 /60R18 mud and snow tires.  A full-size spare is included.  Notably the Tire Pressure Monitoring system monitors all five tires at all times so that an adventuring family is not stranded finding their spare tire is unexpectedly flat when needed.

All-Terrain Capable

The rugged capability of the Land Cruiser rests on its high-strength steel body-on-frame construction, independent double wishbone suspension with coil springs and stabilizer at the front and 4-link suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bar at the rear. 

Off-road chassis flexibility is aided by the Toyota Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) that adjusts the resistance of the stabilizer bars as needed in response to the terrain conditions. Braking is a Multi-Terrain 4-wheel anti-lock brake system with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist featuring large ventilated disc brakes.

For the more adventurous, it is good to know that Land Cruiser will ford water up to near 28-inches.   Ground clearance is 8.9-inches with steel skid plates protecting front suspension, radiator, fuel tank and transfer case, with tow hooks front and rear – just in case.

Land Cruiser tows too.  The 5.7L V8 gets 90 percent of maximum torque at just 2,200 rpm.  Equipped with an engine oil cooler, proper tow package, Trailer-Brake Controller harness  and Trailer Sway Control, it tows up to 8,100 pounds.

The tailgate for Land Cruiser is distinctively Toyota. It features a power upper hatch that lifts up. The lower section is a traditional manual-lower gate.  It enables easy access for cargo and is a favorite of ours.
