2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Has Bronco In Its Sights, Aims To Outshine Wrangler On The Trail

by

The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the most iconic models that Toyota has ever released. However, it has been notably absent from Toyota showrooms since 2021, when the previous generation model was axed, with the international market getting an all-new one instead—the uproar from U.S. customers was noticeable, and the company has finally decided to rectify this wrong with the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser.   Land Cruiser’s Smaller Size Meshes Well With Tradition The Land Cruiser was once considered a rather compact SUV model, but subsequent generations of the SUV became bigger and more expensive, with the 2021 model …

2022 Lexus LX600 F Sport Review: First Real Update in 14 years!

by

Finally the LX has received a major update with the 2022 LX600! Toyota is known for getting the most out of their tooling by running vehicles with minimal changes for extended periods.

Exterior Largely defining the rest of the size of the vehicle, Toyota has decided that the perfect wheelbase is 112ish inches (2850mm).

by

Out of all the major launches that automakers are preparing for 2021, one of the most important is undoubtedly the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser. An off-roading icon and the counterculture T-shirt wearing equivalent to the cardigan-wearing Land Rover family.

Toyota Confirms Next Generation Land Cruiser, Will Debut June 9th

by

The Toyota Land Cruiser is an icon at Toyota. The big SUV is the definitive measuring stick (besides the TRD Pro lineup) in off-road capability and long-haul comfort. But the current generation model is starting to get long in the tooth, and some of its rivals are starting to outpace it. Toyota isn’t going to take it laying down, though, and has confirmed that it will indeed be producing the 2022 Land Cruiser with the big billy goat making its debut June 9th.   A Leaner Land Cruiser https://youtu.be/B8Kz1RKSO9w As mentioned, the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser will still be a …

2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition by Ben Lewis

by

Words like “Icon” and “Legend” get thrown around a lot in the automotive marketplace. Along with terms like “inspired by” and “an homage to” also thrown in. But there are a few deserving the title of greatness, and in SUV’s, you’d have to include Toyota’s Land Cruiser. First of all, it’s been around a long time, 60+ years. And while we’ve been through many iterations of the Cruiser, despite growing larger, more powerful and more luxurious along the way, it has always maintained its ruggedness, its off-road capability, and unbreakable nature. And it’s a world-wide favorite – from the Sahara …

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser – Off-Road & Towing Review – By Matt Barnes

by

The Toyota Land Cruiser has a loyal global following, and for good reason. It is one of the most reliable, longest lasting vehicles in automotive history. Cruisers are lauded as the ultimate overlanding vehicle. There are many different variants sold throughout the world, but here in the United States, we get one model with one trim level, and only one available option package. Unless you account for the Lexus LX570, which offers a few more features and a more luxurious interior. To test the capability of the Land Cruiser, we decided to head into the desert hills to see what …

Driving the incredible Land Cruiser for a week is a major dream-come-true for any car reviewer. So legendary!  So rare!

2016 Lexus LX570 – Road Test Review + Sport Plus DRIVE VIDEO / 100 Photos

by

Welcome to the shockingly good 2016 Lexus LX570! This mid-cycle upgrade brings new styling all around, a fresh cabin and a healthy new dose of F Sport-infused performance.  This all moves the Lexus flagship dramatically upmarket versus its Land Cruiser sibling from Toyota. And you are looking at more than just a crisp jawline, industry-best LEDs all around and ultra-lux cabin upgrade versus its much-cheaper sibling.  The improvements are truly substantive, despite the two trucks sharing much of their glasshouse and door shapes. First thing to note in the LX?  This bluff new face up front is gorgeous and sets …

2016 Toyota LAND CRUISER Sports Fresh Design and Big Tech Upgrades

by

  Toyota’s loveable Land Cruiser is fresh for 2016 with a variety of cool updates to the style, performance and luxury inside! The Land Cruiser is all new from the A-pillars forward, with a much larger and truckier grille than the current model. The two-piece intake element now includes thick chrome bars extending into the headlamps. It is clearly a much more butch appearance all around, thanks to that grille and the new domed hood. The upper hood now wears a deep rounded edge between the engine cover and the fenders. A dip in the middle of the hood flows …

2015 Mitsubishi GC-PHEV – 40 Photos and 4 Reasons This Concept Previews USA-Bound 2017 Montero Full-Size SUV

by

  Okay, okay. We can certainly echo your initial thoughts on this design. First reaction at this desk was a blasphemous exclamation. “Sweet Jesus.” Second reaction after thinking we might see a production-spec Montero reborn. But ended up with this? “Holy Mary, mother of God…. what is this evil monstrosity?” But step back a minute. Appreciate its creamy and sily surfaces atop this unapologetically blocky shape. Functional, futuristic, and certainly eye-catching. The nose and tail are absolutely ghastly, but then, the 2016 Outlander shows how cool and chic production-spec nose like could look. With some tweaks, the overall scale of …

Mecum Florida 2015 Favorites – Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser With Matching Trolley!

by

We’re back from some epic adventures last week, and eager to share the wealth of 3000-plus photos taken along the way. We counted at least four FJ40 Land Cruisers at the Mecum 2015 Auctions in Kissimmee Florida, but this sunkissed red example with knobby off-road tires and matching trailer stole our vote. It sold for $35,000. It is interesting to note that the new TRD Pro Tundra echoes this Toyota grille script almost exactly for 2015. Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser
