- Two distinct trims, the Land Cruiser 1958 and Land Cruiser, give buyers a choice between heritage-focused simplicity and a more feature-rich cabin experience.
- Standard full-time 4-wheel drive and available terrain management systems make this one of the most capable off-road SUVs on the market today.
Some vehicles are designed for a specific kind of driver. The Land Cruiser is built for anyone who refuses to let the road, or the lack of one, get in the way of the destination. Our team at Toyota of Wallingford is ready to show you everything this SUV can do.
Power That Never Asks Permission
The Toyota Land Cruiser runs Toyota's i-FORCE MAX powertrain, a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder hybrid system producing 326 net combined horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. That torque arrives early and stays strong, whether you are merging onto I-91 or hauling a loaded trailer up a grade. An 8-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission manages power delivery across a wide range of driving conditions.
Three drive modes let you dial in the experience. Sport Mode sharpens throttle response, Eco Mode stretches efficiency on longer trips, and Normal Mode keeps things balanced for everyday use. Full-time 4-wheel drive runs continuously, distributing power front and rear so traction is always ready.
Off-Road Capability Built Into Every Layer
The Land Cruiser sits on a body-on-frame architecture that prioritizes durability and articulation. Standard skid plates and tow hooks signal that this vehicle is built to work hard. An electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case lets you choose the right torque split for the conditions, and available electronically locking differentials engage at the press of a button when traction disappears.
Available Multi-Terrain Select optimizes drivetrain behavior across rock, mud, and loose surfaces. Available Crawl Control automatically manages throttle and braking on severe terrain so you can focus on steering. The available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism adds wheel articulation for the roughest trails, and the available 2,400W onboard power inverter keeps your gear running wherever you end up.
