2014 Toyota Land Cruiser – First Look

2014 Toyota Land Cruiser – First Look:

When your mind wanders to extreme off-road adventures encapsulated in 8-passenger luxury which vehicle do you envision?  It’s likely the legendary Land Cruiser and now Toyota’s most luxurious and capable vehicle can be bought without too much contemplation about options; all features are standard.  All that’s left for you to choose are exterior and interior color choices and of course, where to take the family on the next great vacation.  Land Cruiser’s body on frame construction and advanced full-time 4-wheel drive system mean there isn’t a terrain type you won’t be ready for.  And now that the KDSS system is standard – that’s short for Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System – every Land Cruiser has these trick stabilizer bars ensuring the highest levels of on and off-road ride comfort and confidence.  Power is certainly not a worry, as a 381-horsepower V8 elegantly muscles this SUV to its destination and can tow 8,500 pounds…all on regular unleaded.  Gas mileage is rated at 13mpg city/18 mpg highway.  With three-across seating in the 2^nd and 3^rd rows, go ahead and load it up and features such as the one-touch tumble mechanism makes getting into that last row even easier.  Carrying stuff instead of people?  With the middle and rear seats folded there is over 81 cubic feet of cargo capacity.  True luxury and safety amenities round out the offering.  MSRP is $80,995.
