2019 Toyota Land Cruiser review

1. Loaded with standard features

Since there is only one trim level available for the 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser, you will enjoy a long list of standard features. Apple Car Play^®, Android Auto^™, Bluetooth^® connectivity, a 14-speaker JBL premium audio system, a nine-inch touch screen, and four-zone automatic climate control are all standard on any 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser. This gives you plenty of tech to keep you and your passengers entertained on long journeys.

2. High-tech off-roading

If you're interested in getting around on tight trails, rough roads, or less-than-ideal road conditions, the 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser has some unique electronic tools. CRAWL control should give you a selection of low-gear speeds designed to power over obstacles. Off-road assist should reduce the turn radius in crawl mode, which can get the 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser around tighter bends. An array of cameras are designed to provide top-down visibility on the nine-inch screen to help navigate tricky parking spots.

3. Luxuriously-appointed interior

While the 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser may be rough and capable on the outside, it has many luxury touches on the interior. Standard on all models is perforated leather seating, an impressive audio system, and a heated steering wheel and seats. There should be enough space for passengers and luggage, too, with 16.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the third row or an impressive 81.7 cubic feet with second and third-row seats folded flat.

4. Great for camping

Every 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser is equipped with a 5.7L V8 engine, which makes 381 hp. The eight-speed automatic transmission includes a tow/haul mode and hill-start logic. Equipped standard with a four- and seven-pin towing harness, the 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser can tow up to an estimated 8,100 pounds (with the V8) when properly equipped.

5. A strong foundation

Starting with the right foundation can be a vital part of any vehicle. The 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser is a full-sized SUV riding on a full-frame, just like a pickup truck. The frame underneath helps the towing, off-road performance, and ride comfort you experience in the Land Cruiser. This rugged setup means you get a vehicle that's ready for off-road adventures and can rival a pickup in terms of practicality, but all in a more suburb-friendly package.
