Toyota Land Cruiser Hill Climbing
Overview
The Toyota Land Cruiser has a legendary resume as an off-roader, but the current model comes across as more luxurious than adventurous. Still, this large two- or three-row SUV continues to be sturdily built and hugely capable. While it's not as opulent as its corporate counterpart, the Lexus LX, the Land Cruiser has been outfitted with a plethora of upscale features in an attempt to justify its towering sticker price. We're not particularly impressed by the big Toyota's interior trappings, but we do like that it's equipped with serious, trail-ready equipment such as a two-speed transfer case and a locking center differential. Its standard 381-hp V-8 engine isn't particularly special, and it's certainly not fuel efficient, but it moves the rig with authority. The 2021 Land Cruiser lacks the prestige of equally expensive metal, but it's a lot more capable than most of them out in the boondocks—something to think about for those few buyers who will actually venture there.
What's New for 2021?
For 2021, the Land Cruiser carries over mostly unchanged. The only update is that the Heritage Edition can now be optioned with a third row of seats. The top-of-the-line model is also now available in Classic Silver and Magnetic Gray metallic paint colors. The Land Cruiser will not return for the 2022 model year but could re-emerge in the future with a more modern design, updated technology, and a more luxurious cabin.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The Land Cruiser is powered by a 5.7-liter V-8 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This setup generates 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. Full-time four-wheel drive is standard. With a ride quality that's smooth and well-planted, the Land Cruiser delivers comfortable driving dynamics. Its steering feel is light, however, and there's a fair amount of body roll. Rival SUVs in this price range offer handling that's more rewarding. In spite of its beefy exterior, the Land Cruiser is relatively quick off the line. It's also capable of towing up to 8100 pounds, which is substantial but still slightly lower than some rivals, such as the Chevy Tahoe and Ford Expedition.Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
This Toyota's mammoth dimensions take a toll on its fuel economy. According to the EPA, the Land Cruiser achieves gas mileage of just 13 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway. You'll do better with rivals such as the Lincoln Navigator (up to 16/22 mpg city/highway) and Mercedes-Benz GLS-class (19/23 mpg city/highway). The Land Cruiser we tested earned 17 mpg on our real-world 200-mile highway route.
