The 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser is redesigned with freshened styling and more power in a similar-size package that retains eight-passenger seating. The lone model has a 381-hp 5.7-liter V8 and 6-speed automatic transmission; they replace a 265-hp V8/5-speed automatic combination. Maximum towing capacity is 8500 lb, an increase of 2000 over the previous-generation Land Cruiser. All-wheel drive with low-range gearing and locking center differential return, but other newly standard features for severe off-road use include Toyota's Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which can vary roll stiffness and allow greater wheel articulation; Hill-start Assist Control, to keep the vehicle from rolling backward on an incline; and CRAWL Control, which allows the driver to select one of three very slow preset speeds that the vehicle will automatically maintain on declines. No longer offered is a height-adjustable suspension. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, front side airbags, and 2nd-row side airbags. Also included are driver and passenger front knee airbags. Optional are a navigation system, backup camera, remote engine start, DVD entertainment, and rear seat heaters. Land Cruiser lends its basic design to the LX 570 from Toyota's Lexus division.
