2018 Toyota Land Cruiser
The Toyota Land Cruiser is the vehicle that will go anywhere without showing any sign of struggle. Whether it is going through a difficult trail or crossing through a difficult mud hole, the Land Cruiser will get you through it. But more and more, buyers of SUVs are keeping them on the payment and automakers in kind are tuning the vehicles to be more friendly on these surfaces. Toyota hasn't done that yet with the Land Cruiser, preferring to keep it true to its off-road roots. But does make sense anymore in this age where more and more people are deciding to get a utility vehicle?

2017 Toyota Land Cruiser
The Toyota Land Cruiser entered a new generation last year as an all-new rendering of what's now Toyota's longest-running model brand. The Land Cruiser was introduced in 1951 and has seen various iterations since, building on a strong reputation for durability and go-anywhere reliability.
With theĀ all-new model for the 2016 model year, the 2017 Land Cruiser continues forward with no significant changes. Upgrades last year included new exterior styling, a new transmission and a lot of safety technology. The modern Land Cruiser is a more plush, mannered drive compared to its rough-and-tumble predecessors, but it retains their legendary capability.
The Land Cruiser is not a low-cost vehicle, but rivals many luxury makes for its interior accouterments and excellent ride quality. With a muscular but well-mannered V8 under the hood, and a strong personality for family friendliness and get-anywhere options, the 2017 Land Cruiser is an excellent choice if you need luxurious capability and muscle, but aren't interested in the premium-branded Lexus LX, the Land Cruiser's twin.

2013 Toyota Land Cruiser
The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser is the newest version of the flagship of the entire Toyota Motors Corporation line. It took a year off, not offering a 2012 model, but the 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser is back in full swing, earning some high marks from both experts and owners alike. This is the fifth year of the Land Cruiser using the 200 Series platform, shared by its close cousin the Lexus LX 570.
The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser comes with quite a few changes. As it turns out, taking a year off to sort things out really does help sometimes. The addition of some high-tech features, coupled with the old reliable 5.7L V8 engine, makes the 2013 Land Cruiser worth taking a look at for any consumer in the market for a large luxury SUV.
