What's New for the 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser? For 2005, the Toyota Land Cruiser receives 18-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment, as well as Toyota's Star Safety System that includes vehicle stability control, traction control, and antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist.
Advantages of the 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser:
- One of the most capable off-roading SUVs on the market
- Terrific resale value
- Chock full of safety features
- Luxury levels come close to matching the Lexus LX 470 without the extra-cost badge
Objections to the 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser: - Prohibitive cost given Toyota branding
- Not as roomy or brawny as its primary competition
Editor's Advice: Now in its seventh year of production in current guise, the Toyota Land Cruiser still manages to impress with high levels of luxury, refined on-road manners and stellar off-road capabilities. Newer full-size SUVs, ranging from the Cadillac Escalade to the Lincoln Navigator and the Infiniti QX56 to Toyota's own Sequoia can possess greater interior size and underhood oomph, but we'd bet that engineers of those trucks looked to the Toyota Land Cruiser as a blueprint. There's a compelling blend of comfort, utility and luxury in this Toyota, and owners get the added cachet of the legendary Land Cruiser nameplate.
