One of the biggest upgrades on the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser is its new eight-speed transmission. This superb new transmission backs the Land Cruiser's robust 5.7-liter V8 engine, which gets an impressive 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. Capable of towing 8500 pounds, the Land Cruiser also features Trailer Sway Control, which uses the stability-control system to mitigate side-to-side oscillations while pulling a load.  

The 2016 Land Cruiser boasts a new eye-catching exterior design as well. It features new A-pillars and a more aggressive look, as well as two new color offerings. In the rear, LED light-pipe taillights add a touch of stylishness and sophistication that blends in nicely with the overall exterior design. Additionally, the 2016 Land Cruiser comes with striking new 18-inch alloy wheels.

While the Land Cruiser received many great new upgrades, it still possesses its trademark off-road prowess. It can easily tackle the terrains-less-travelled, especially with such off-road features as all-wheel drive, Active Traction control, Vehicle Stability Control, hill-start assist, downhill assist, crawl control, Multi-terrain select and an active TORSEN limited-slip locking differential. And just like it did decades ago, the 2016 Land Cruiser includes a full-size spare tire.
