1979 Toyota Land Cruiser

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a series of full-size, four-wheel drive SUVs that are designed to offer exceptional off-road performance and durability. The Land Cruiser has been in production since 1951, and is one of the brands longest-running and most iconic models. Land Cruiser is often used for off-road adventures, as well as for transportation in harsh and challenging environments. It is available with a variety of features and options, depending on the market and model year, including seating for up to eight passengers, advanced off-road driving systems, and premium entertainment and safety features. The Land Cruiser is powered by a V8 engine and comes with a range of features designed to enhance off-road capability, such as a locking center differential, a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, and Crawl Control, which automatically adjusts the throttle and brakes to maintain a steady speed on rough terrain. Top competitors include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Expedition, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Nissan Armada, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Range Rover Sport and Lexus LX which is actually based on the same platform as the Land Cruiser. The rugged SUV is available in different trim levels and special editions, including the Heritage Edition, which celebrates the vehicle's history and offers unique features such as bronze accents and a roof rack. It is a popular choice for those who need a reliable and capable vehicle for off-road adventures, or for those who value the Land Cruiser's reputation for toughness and durability. Toyota discontinued the Land Cruiser in 2021 at which time the average MSRP was $87,030.
