About the 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser

200 Series Land Cruiser (U.S. 2008-2011 pre-refresh form), fourth model year and last pre-refresh U.S. model before Toyota skipped 2012 and returned with a refreshed 2013.

Toyota positions the Land Cruiser as its premium full-size SUV for people who want real off-road toughness without giving up comfort. Its core appeal is the mix of V8 power, full-time 4WD, trail-ready hardware, three-row family space, and a more upscale cabin than most traditional truck-based SUVs. What separates it from many rivals is that it is engineered first as a durable go-anywhere vehicle, but it still delivers quiet highway manners, towing strength, and Toyota’s long-term reputation for durability.

The 2011 Land Cruiser is a single-trim, upscale three-row SUV built for family travel, towing, and difficult terrain. Its 381-hp 5.7-liter V8 works with full-time four-wheel drive, low range, a locking center differential, and low-speed off-road cruise control. The eight-passenger cabin has leather upholstery, heated power front seats, four-zone climate control, and a 14-speaker JBL audio system.
