The name ‘LandCruiser’ is a big name in off-roading circles. Few can claim such a robust pedigree.
Moreover, and as a sign of the times, Toyota’s large 4WD has become not only a favourite for the horse and caravanning set, but also for urban families.

Toyota updated the LandCruiser 200 range by making a 45-litre auxiliary fuel tank standard on all models and adding crawl control for diesel models. Other changes included a reversing camera, auxiliary audio input jacks, iPod connectivity and a rear 12-volt power outlet.

In the case of the VX model, 18-inch alloys, a moonroof and dark grey privacy glass were also added to the standard equipment list. Cruise control, a trip computer, a reversing camera, dual-zone climate control, a power moonroof, fog lamps and power windows are standard equipment on the LandCruiser VX. The petrol-engined LandCruiser 200 models get Toyota’s 2UZ-FE 4.7 litre V8 – a quad-cam naturally-aspirated motor with variable-intake valve timing.
