With legendary models like the GR Supra, Tundra, and the 4Runner, it’s clear that Toyota is a legend maker. Another of those legends is the Land Cruiser. You can learn what makes it so special as we explore the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser performance and features right here.
The Land Cruiser goes big under the hood right out of the gate. It has one engine option, and that option is a 5.7-liter V8. It generates its power through 32 valves with dual independent variable valve timing. All this engine tech gives you 381 horsepower and an impressive 401 pound-feet of torque.
The Land Cruiser is a four-wheel-drive machine standard, and it pumps all its engine power through a smooth and efficient 8-speed electronically-controlled automatic transmission. For an off-road machine of this class and power, you still get some impressive efficiency with up to 13-city mpg and 17-highway mpg.
The Land Cruiser is epic in many ways. With a real body-on-frame construction, it can impress when it comes to towing. The Land Cruiser comes standard with 8,100 pounds of towing capacity! That’s better than many trucks.
In terms of passengers, you get standard seating for up to 8 people with two up front and three in the second and third rows. The Heritage Edition is also available with 5 passenger seating as well, which ditches the third row entirely.
In terms of cargo, the Land Cruiser can handle 16.1 cubic-feet of cargo with its three-row configuration and all seats up. Behind the second row, the Land Cruiser can handle up to 41.4 cubic-feet of cargo. With all the seats down, you can fit up to 82.8 cubic-feet of cargo.
