The Land Cruiser is the best selling Suv in Toyata's lot. It has a powerful V8 engine build, and a luxurious interior cabin. However, this car is more expensive then it has to be and you pay through the teeth for quality and capability. The irony is that Toyota's Sequoia is bigger yet less expensive. And some of the people I've spoken to, say that car is also more reliable and the gas mileage is about the same.

It's power comes from an 4.7-liter 230 horsepower engine with 320 pound-feet of torque. This engine is based on an earlier Lexus engine and it offers the Land Cruiser an edge in power delivery, quietness and fuel economy. It has great acceleration and passing maneuvers are easy. ABS is standard, as is the Vehicle Skid Control and Active Trac system. But with a price range starting over $50,000 this car is not cheap and in my opinion not worth the money.

On the positive side, if you do decide to buy the Land Cruiser it does do a good job at retaining its value. Like most Toyotas, the Land Cruiser has held its value well in the used car market.
