“Solid and rugged but very poor gas mileage. Nice vehicle for off road or short trips.”
2017 Toyota Land Cruiser: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2017 Toyota Land Cruiser
200 Series (2008-2021 U.S.), second year after the 2016 update.
Toyota positioned the Land Cruiser as its flagship SUV: an eight-seat, body-on-frame 4WD that blends serious trail ability with a premium cabin. The core appeal was not flashy luxury branding, but long-haul durability, genuine off-road hardware, strong towing ability, and a fully loaded interior with very few compromises. For shoppers comparing it with luxury SUVs, Toyota's pitch was simple: this is the one for people who want real capability without giving up comfort.
Toyota positioned the 2017 Land Cruiser as a fully equipped flagship SUV that combines serious off-road and towing hardware with seating for eight and a luxury-style cabin. Its standout equipment includes a 5.7-liter V8, full-time four-wheel drive, Crawl Control, leather seating, a navigation touchscreen, 14-speaker JBL audio, and a driver-safety suite with automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
