The 2024 Land Cruiser Has Been Redesigned
The Land Cruiser isn't just a vehicle; it's built on the solid TNGA-F global truck platform, which it shares with other tough Toyota models like the Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma. But it's not just about sharing a platform; it's about ensuring you get a smooth ride, top-notch comfort, and the ability to handle whatever comes your way. The folks who designed this platform went all out to make sure it's sturdy and comfortable, using cool tech like laser blank welding to make it strong where it counts and light where it doesn't. So, when tackling rugged terrain, you can trust that your Land Cruiser is ready for the challenge. With its powerful i-FORCE MAX powertrain, towing up to 6,000 pounds is a breeze, allowing you to take on any adventure.
What Tech Does the Land Cruiser Have?
As Toyota's original SUV, the Land Cruiser sets the bar high, covering all the bases from legendary capability to cutting-edge technology, advanced safety features, and premium comforts for both driver and passengers. Thanks to its modern TNGA-F platform, it boasts incredible strength and delivers a smoother ride and better on-road handling, ensuring comfort even on rugged terrain. Passengers aren't left out either, enjoying luxurious power heated and ventilated front seats and reclining rear seats that make long journeys a breeze. Inside, you'll find a new eight or 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen showcasing Toyota's latest Audio Multimedia system, with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility and a premium 14-speaker JBL® audio system. Qi® wireless charging and multiple USB-C charging ports cater to all your device needs, while a standard Smart Key System with push-button start ensures convenience at every turn. For added convenience and security, an available Digital Key connects seamlessly with compatible smartphones for remote vehicle access and starting, while a Smart Card key offers a credit card-sized alternative for drivers on the move. Toyota has left no stone unturned with the Land Cruiser, which delivers a seamless driving experience, blending capability, technology, and comfort.
Are There Any Callbacks?
The all-new Land Cruiser pays homage to its predecessors with a nod to past models. From the boxy look with a flat roof to the iconic "TOYOTA" grille, reminiscent of early generations, the 250 series exudes a timeless appeal. Collaborating closely with Toyota's North American-based CALTY Design Research studio, the global development team meticulously crafted every detail, guided by four fundamental principles: authenticity, reliability, timelessness, and professionalism. This dedication to design integrity resulted in a vehicle that seamlessly merges form with function, offering a pure expression of style. In particular, the 1958 grade and First Edition grades boast distinctive features like round LED headlights and the heritage "TOYOTA" grille, while Land Cruiser grades elevate with slim, rectangular headlights reminiscent of the 60 series. The squared body profile and repositioned A pillar enhance aesthetics and improve visibility, especially on challenging trails. Modern touches abound, including all-LED lighting, available 20-inch wheels, a silhouette-shaped roof rack, and color-selectable Rigid® fog lights, ensuring the all-new Land Cruiser remains classic and contemporary.

Toyota's dedication to engineering excellence shines through in the i-FORCE MAX powertrains, showcasing the company's commitment to both performance and fuel efficiency. In the 2024 Land Cruiser, an electric motor integrates with the 2.4-liter turbocharged engine and eight-speed automatic transmission, maximizing power and enhancing efficiency.

Off-Roading In the New Land Cruiser
Embedded within the Land Cruiser's DNA is its renowned capability to efficiently tackle any terrain. Standard center and rear-locking differentials across all grades ensure optimal traction and minimize wheel spin on rugged terrain, while the electronic locking rear differential evenly distributes power to the rear wheels, boosting traction when needed most. Adding to its off-road prowess, an available front stabilizer bar disconnect mechanism enhances suspension flexibility with the push of a button, ensuring better tire contact with the ground. Multi-Terrain Select, operational in 4WD High and 4WD Low, offers customizable settings for various terrains, from mud to sand, effortlessly controlling wheel spin. The updated CRAWL Control function acts as an off-road cruise control with five selectable speeds, while Downhill Assist Control limits vehicle speed during steep descents for added safety. With features like vehicle stability control and an automatic limited-slip differential, the Land Cruiser maintains stability and traction in diverse conditions, boasting impressive approach, breakover, and departure angles.
