5 reasons to buy the 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser

1. Impressive off-road capabilities 

The Toyota Land Cruiser is known for its strong off-road capabilities, and the 2014 model does a great job of upholding that reputation. The list of standard all-terrain equipment is excellent, ranging from a locking center differential, skid plates, and a two-speed transfer case. There's also more advanced kit to look out for like a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, Multi-Terrain Select, and Off-Road Turn Assist. For adventures off the beaten track, the 2014 Land Cruiser makes an ideal companion.  

2. Capacious cabin  

Regardless of what surface you’re driving on, the 2014 Land Cruiser offers a comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped cabin for all occupants. There are three rows of seating, for a max passenger capacity of eight. Front-row seats offer 42.3 inches of legroom, second-row seats have 36 inches of legroom, and third-row seats have 28.4 inches of legroom to work with. As everyone gets comfortable, they can also store their luggage in 16.1 cu-ft of cargo volume behind the rear seats. 

3. Wide array of standard features  

With just one trim level on offer, you’ll be delighted to hear that almost all featured equipment available for the 2014 Land Cruiser is included as standard on all models. All of your passengers will love creature comforts like a sunroof, four-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, and heated front and second-row seats. Fans of gadgets and in-car entertainment will also enjoy the 14-speaker JBL® sound system with USB/iPod® interface, as well as a rear-seat entertainment system.   

4. Stout engine provides good pulling power 

Further enhancing the 2014 Land Cruiser’s off-road performance and versatility is what lurks under the hood. It’s a 5.7L V8 engine, packing a strong 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque, and paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel-drive as standard. That’s ideal power for climbing steep inclines and also allows you to bring a trailer on your next excursion. The towing capacity is an impressive 8,500 lbs when properly equipped.

 

5. Smooth ride on-road 

As impressive as the 2014 Land Cruiser is on the rough stuff, it's also more than capable of providing a comfortable and smooth on-road ride every day. The six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive provide sturdy power delivery, and cabin noise is kept to a minimum unless you fully put your foot down. Combined with so many standard comfort features, the 2014 Land Cruiser is the ideal vehicle for long road trips, both on and off the beaten track.
