Enhanced Traction and Articulation

You’ll also find that the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser comes with rear and center locking differentials to improve traction while navigating challenging adventure situations. An available stabilizer disconnect mechanism can be found on the higher trim to heighten wheel articulation so that you can make your way through various obstacles on the trails with absolute ease. With these helpful tools, you’ll be able to travel deeper into the wilderness with confidence.

i-FORCE Power

The 2025 Land Cruiser is equipped with a 2.4L i-FORCE MAX turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s paired with two electric motors, urging it forward with tenacity.

The Land Cruiser is prepared to go toe-to-toe with off-road rivals like the Wrangler and Bronco, and the proof is in the power that radiates from this inspiring engine. Let's see what other capabilities the Land Cruiser can bring to your adventures in the wilderness.

Towing Performance

It’s a common belief that hybrids aren’t powerful, but you’ll quickly realize that this is incorrect when you get behind the wheel of the 2025 Land Cruiser. Its impressive i-FORCE MAX powertrain is able to tow up to 6,000 lbs, which is leaps and bounds better than many others in its class. This means that you’re able to pull that trailer full of ATVs or your large camper out into the woods with ease, intensifying your adventures in all new ways.

Explore-Worthy Tech

Technology occupies a prominent spot in today’s vehicles, especially those that were built to do more. This is the case for the 2025 Land Cruiser, which not only offers plenty of connectivity and safety features but also intuitive tools that were designed for adventure.

Crawl Control

Slowly maneuvering over rocks isn’t many vehicles’ forte, but it is for the Land Cruiser, especially since it’s equipped with standard Crawl Control. By controlling throttle and braking response, Crawl Control does the hard work for you so that you can turn your attention to steering over the elements safely and effectively.

Multi-Terrain Monitor

Arm your Land Cruiser with the available Multi-Terrain Monitor, and you will be able to take on any type of adventure situation with certainty. Not only will it let you view the areas around your vehicle for potential obstacles that may pose a problem during your quest, but it will even show you the terrain underneath you. This can help you avoid dangerous situations while you’re exploring off the grid. You’re able to take advantage of front, side, and rear views, allowing you to become familiar with your surroundings, even if you’ve never been there before.

Multiple Drive Modes

This rugged Toyota favorite offers four drive modes to help you elevate the feeling of your ride in every way. To ensure that you’re enjoying optimal efficiency, choose Eco Mode, which adjusts throttle response to help you maximize your fuel economy. Sport Mode prioritizes acceleration to make for a peppier ride, while Normal Mode is an ideal mix of both, allowing you to enjoy outstanding performance and efficiency no matter where you’re traveling. Finally, Snow Mode does what you would expect, maximizing traction when the temperatures drop and the roads get slippery.

Adventuring Convenience

Speaking of enhancing your adventures, you can expect the 2025 Land Cruiser to be armed with features that will come in handy whether you’re setting up camp or maneuvering through the dense forest. With these features at your fingertips, you’ll feel at home wherever you choose to roam.

2.4 kW Power Inverter

Camping in the woods is a memorable experience, but it can have its drawbacks, especially when it comes to powering some much-needed equipment. From lights and a mini-fridge to coffee makers and small tools, powering up your necessities is no sweat for the Land Cruiser and its 2.4 kW inverter. Now, you’re able to make the most of your time in nature, being able to power up all your campsite necessities.

LED Fog Lights

Dual-hue LED fog lights from Rigid Industries come to the rescue when you find yourself deep in the forest, and visibility becomes challenging. These lights allow you to switch between two different colors to help light up the environment around you. Turn them to bright white when you need to enhance visibility in low-light situations or utilize a yellow beam to cut through in dense fog.

Console Cool Box

Need to keep something cool when there’s not a refrigerator in sight? Just utilize the Land Cruiser’s available console cool box. Located in the center console, this feature recirculates the air from your air conditioner to help keep small items, like water bottles, cool.

Clever Storage Solution

The Land Cruiser showcases an outstanding design, with plenty of clever storage solutions to help you pack for your next adventure. When you need to load up with large gear, like tents, kayaks, and more, utilize its roof rails. The Land Cruiser is able to handle up to 770 lbs of gear on top when it’s parked. If you’re traveling down the highway, you can trust this Toyota adventurer to accommodate up to 165 lbs. Plus, with a 60/40 split rear seat, being able to haul more of your must-have exploration supplies is easy with this pack mule leading the way.
