Which Version of Toyota Land Cruiser Should You Get?Toyota (Toyota)If you're trying to decide which Land Cruiser to buy, we recommend the Land Cruiser trim. (Yes, that's really what it's called.)Compared to the Land Cruiser 1958, the just plain Land Cruiser adds ventilated front seats, a larger center touchscreen, a nicer sound system, and better off-road gear, among other features.Options to consider include the tech-packed Premium package, which adds an even nicer stereo, leather upholstery, several driver assists, and more.See Our Comprehensive Toyota Land Cruiser Make-Model PageShop New Cars | Shop Used CarsAdvertisementAdvertisementToyota's Land Cruiser gets high marks in our reviewers' scoring, earning it an Editors' Choice award thanks in part to usable power and real off-road capability. Toyota offers just two trims, but it can still be a chore to decide between them. We've got you. If you're shopping for a new Land Cruiser, allow us to save you some time by recommending the trim level and options that pack the best value.Which Land Cruiser Trim Level Is the Best?The top Land Cruiser trim and the one we recommend is simply called Land Cruiser. (Only slightly confusing, right?) It comes with faux leather upholstery in place of the base model's cloth, a 12.3-inch center touchscreen (the base unit is an 8.0-incher), a power driver's seat, heating and ventilation for the front seats, a power-adjustable steering column, a power liftgate, a wireless charging pad, roof rails, running boards, and all-weather floor mats.Toyota (Toyota)On the off-roading front, it also adds wider all-terrain tires, an electronically disconnectable front anti-roll bar, a terrain selector to tailor powertrain and drivetrain attributes for the surface you're driving over, and Rigid Industries LED fog lights with selectable colors. (Gotta stay unique out on the trail.)All Land Cruisers are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a hybrid assist that's good for 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. Four-wheel drive is also standard across the board.Toyota (Toyota)What Options Should You Consider?Toyota normally doesn't offer a lot of stand-alone options, and it's no different with the Land Cruiser. There's just one option package, the Premium package, that adds $4355 to the tab. It includes a 14-speaker JBL sound system, digital key functionality, a power moonroof, a rear-camera mirror, power leather front seats, a head-up display, lane-change assist, front cross-traffic alert, and traffic jam assist.AdvertisementAdvertisementYou can also spec a console cool box (sort of like a mini fridge) for $170, and the moonroof is available without the Premium pack for $850.What Do You Miss Out On in the Higher Trim Levels?The Land Cruiser, er, Land Cruiser is the topmost of two trims, so you don't miss out on anything functional by choosing it. The base Land Cruiser 1958 ($59,195) does have circular instead of rectangular headlights as a nod to the original, which look pretty sweet in our humble opinion. Those lights are the only reason we'd consider the base version, at least briefly.➡️ Skip the lot.
