60 years of heritage
One summer day back in 1951, the first Land Cruiser, then called
the BJ, started up the side of Mt. Fuji and accomplished a feat
no other vehicle in history had managed to achieve. It climbed to
Checkpoint No. 6, a spot so high up the mountainside it was thought
to be unreachable by motor vehicle. The event signaled more than
just the triumph of one vehicle over a formidable challenge. It marked
the birth of a legend.
In the 60 years since its impressive debut, Land Cruiser has
developed a loyal following unmatched by any other SUV in the
world. From the rugged machine of those early days, to the model
of refinement it is today, Land Cruiser continues to be a symbol of
capability, innovation and quality.

Many SUVs perform well either on the highway or on the dirt,
but fail to do well on both. Armed with features like Kinetic
Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) and 4WD with Active
Traction Control (A-TRAC), Land Cruiser delivers optimum
performance on or off the pavement.

5.7L V8 Dual Independent VVT-i
Information Provided by:
With Land Cruiser’s power and torque at your disposal, even the most
inhospitable terrain will not intimidate you. The 5.7-liter Double Overhead
Cam (DOHC) 32-valve V8 employs Dual Independent Variable Valve
Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and Acoustic Control Induction System
(ACIS). These advanced technologies help the engine produce 381 hp and
401 lb.-ft. of torque.
Robust Towing
Sooner or later in your travels you may need to pull something. And when
that time arrives, you’ll be ready with the capable Land Cruiser. Its powerful
V8, 6-speed automatic transmission and torque-enhancing gear ratios
endow it with an incredible 8200-lb. towing capacity.
Trailer-Sway Control (TSC)
[2]
Stability is crucial to towing and Land Cruiser has you covered. It features a
technology called Trailer-Sway Control (TSC), which helps counteract vehicle
yaw caused by trailer oscillation, helping keep you in command at all times.

Multi-Terrain Monitor
This remarkable feature gives you a look
at the front, side and rear areas of the
vehicle from the comfort of the driver’s
seat while off-roading. Shown on the
8-in. navigation screen, the images help
you double-check your blind spots and
examine your immediate surroundings
for potential trouble.

Multi-Terrain Select
Multi-terrain Select ensures that the
driver has the maximum amount of
traction possible for any off-road
scenario. The driver chooses from
four available modes — Mud and Sand,
Rock, Loose Rock and Moguls — to
best match the terrain being negotiated.
The system optimizes throttle and
brake control, helping to limit wheelspin
and wheel lockup.
Multi-Terrain
4-Wheel ABS with EBD
ABS sensors detect wheel lockup during
emergency braking situations, and the
system helps compensate by “pulsing”
individual wheel brakes. Land Cruiser’s
ABS also features Electronic Brake-force
Distribution (EBD), which redistributes
brake force to help keep the rear wheels
from locking up during sudden braking
situations. By adapting to off-road
conditions such as sand, gravel or mud,
this standard Multi-terrain 4-wheel ABS
is ideally suited for adventure.
Variable Gear
Ratio Steering (VGRS)
When driving at speed in a straight line,
you don’t want the vehicle to change
direction with every slight movement of
the steeringwheel. In town, however,
when negotiating tight turns and when
parking, you want the steering to be
responsive. VGRS is designed to keep
Land Cruiser’s steering relaxed at speed,
and progressively more responsive as
your speed drops.
Torsen
®[2]
Limited-Slip Differential
The Torsen,® or torque-sensing,
differential is engineered to automatically
send more torque to the wheel or axle
with more traction, helping provide
greater grip and better turning on
uncertain surfaces.

4WD with Active Traction Control
Information Provided by:
(A-TRAC)
The only thing better than the confidence of
4WD is 4WD with Active Traction Control
(A-TRAC) and a Torsen
®[1]
locking center
differential. By interpreting data from the ABS
wheel-speed sensors, A-TRAC can tell if a
drive wheel is turning faster than a non-drive
wheel, which indicates loss of traction. The
system can then automatically reduce engine
power until the wheel that is slipping slows
and regains traction. If reducing engine power
isn’t enough, the braking system will gradually
slow that wheel through pulsed brake action.
5-Speed Crawl Control (CRAWL)
Engineered to operate in tandem with Crawl Control
(CRAWL), Off-road Turn Assist (OTA) helps improve
off-road drivability. In a tight corner with CRAWL and
OTA engaged, OTA applies the brake to the inside
rear wheel, helping to create a tighter turning radius.
[2]
Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS)
Many traditional suspension systems perform well on the highway, but fall short when it comes
to off-road performance. KDSS automatically optimizes suspension performance both on and
off the pavement. On the road, it helps suppress body roll to enhance cornering performance.
Off-road, it relaxes sway control on rough terrain for increased wheel articulation. This helps
tires maintain contact with the ground on uneven terrain and minimizes body tilt.
