Rewatch it right here: 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser revealed dwell

Get all the small print right here: 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser debuts with retro appears, mid-$50,000 value

Whereas particulars of the brand new Land Cruiser will stay beneath wraps till it is formally revealed, we all know fairly a bit about it already due to its upscale platform twin, the Lexus GX, and the opposite vehicles and SUVs with which the brand new Land Cruiser is predicted to share elementary parts — Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX. Of them, the GX would be the closest analog. The brand new GX measures slightly below 200 inches lengthy and its chassis contains a double-wishbone suspension up entrance and a multilink setup within the rear. Two- and three-row layouts can be found, and the previous will be had with second-row captain’s chairs. 

As was the case beforehand, we anticipate many of the Toyota’s {hardware} to match up. Nonetheless there is a little bit of a twist — and we imply “twist” considerably intentionally, as torque and horsepower are two issues we anticipate to be radically completely different between the Lexus and Toyota variants this time round. Not like the upscale GX, which is powered by Toyota’s new turbocharged six, the mainstream Land Cruiser could look to its less-expensive pickup cousin, the Tacoma, for powertrain inspiration. That may imply propulsion would come solely from turbocharged (and doubtlessly hybridized) four-cylinder engines. 

However fret not, as there’s doubtlessly extra excellent news right here than unhealthy. With the smaller engines, we would anticipate the Land Cruiser to be a bit lighter than the Lexus, which might make it much less of a handful each on- and off-road. The GX can also be launching with a brand new off-road trim referred to as “Overtrail” and we anticipate a lot of its options to trickle all the way down to the inevitable TRD-branded permutations of the Land Cruiser. On the GX, the bundle contains 33-inch all-terrain tires on distinctive 18-inch wheels, an digital locking differential, black fender accents, a 6mm aluminum skid plate, off-road particular drive modes and a 3D terrain monitor.

The Overtrail may also be optioned with Toyota’s Digital-Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS) — the absolutely mechanical off-road suspension featured on earlier Land Cruiser and GX fashions that makes use of hydraulic strain to interact and disengage the platform’s stabilizer bars when the necessity for extra articulation is detected. Sounds excellent for a TRD Professional, for those who ask us. We’ll know for positive tonight. Keep tuned!
