Introducing the 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser

Nearly 60 years after its introduction as a rough, rugged, go-anywhere 4x4, the Toyota Land Cruiser has matured into one of the most opulent, luxurious and well-equipped SUVs money can buy. But don’t let its leather and wood grain interior or its chrome-clad exterior fool you into thinking the Land Cruiser has lost its off-road chops. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser still sports a traditional body-on-frame construction and receives numerous improvements including features that keep it ahead of the competition when the road turns rough. A new Multi-Terrain Select system with settings for mud, sand and rocks controls wheel slip based for optimal traction, and the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) features auto-disengaging anti-roll bars for optimum suspension articulation.

An updated CRAWL Control system lets the driver choose one of five speeds for off-road driving, and CRAWL maintains that gear so the driver can fully focus on negotiating steep inclines, descents, obstacles and rugged terrain. A new Off-Road Turn Assist feature applies braking force to help the Land Cruiser make sharper turns when driving off-road.

To maintain visibility in all directions so rogue trees and boulders don’t find their way into any body panels, a new Multi-terrain Monitor displays multiple view angles of the exterior on the in-dash navigation system screen. It also comes in handy for those who spend most of their time negotiating crowded parking lots instead of rocky trails.

Despite all of these innovative off-road features, the 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser is still the pinnacle of SUV luxury. Voice-activated navigation with Bluetooth integration, rear-seat DVD entertainment, a center console cooler, heated and ventilated leather seating, Toyota Entune and Dynamic Cruise Control are just a few of the sophisticated and high-tech features the 2012 Toyota Land Cruiser offers.

Underneath it all is a brutally powerful 5.7-liter V8 that puts down 381 horsepower and 401 lb. ft. of torque through a buttery-smooth six-speed automatic en route to a sports car-like 6.5 second 0-60 time. And of course, what would the Land Cruiser be without its remarkable reliability and durability that outperforms every single one of its luxury SUV competitors.

The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser will start arriving at Acton Toyota sometime in February. If you’d like to be one of the first to test drive this legendary SUV, contact us today and we will set you up as soon as they roll onto our lot.
