The 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser is the seventh of its generation. It continues to hold out the model’s prestige and build further its reputation. As a Land Cruiser, the 2008 model carries the three traits of a bonafide Land Cruiser, namely, reliability, quality, and durability. As the executive vice president of Toyota Motor Sales in the United States Jim Lentz said, “The Land Cruiser asserts its position at the very top of the Toyota SUV lineup by building on our core heritage - durability, capability, fun-to-drive, and value. For more than 50 years, the Land Cruiser has delivered on off-road capability and performance, and this generation will raise the ante for overall capability and comfort.”

Featuring P285/60 R18 tires that are installed on five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, full-time four wheel drive that has locking center differential, one can really expect a lot from the 2008 Land Cruiser. Aside from this, the vehicle also features Multi-terrain Anti-lock Brake System or also known as the ABS. It has Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) as well as Brake Assist (BA), Active-Traction Control (A-TRAC), and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). What’s so special about the Land Cruiser’s VSC is that it has a cut-off switch that enables one to have more control of the vehicle.

As for the vehicle’s interior, one can relax with the music or information provided by the JBL AM and FM radio that also has a dash of six CD or DVD disc changer. The vehicle is also equipped with MP3 and WMA capability, an auxiliary mini-jack, in-glass antenna, 14 speakers on which six can be found on the doors (the front, rear, and the back door), one on the subwoofer or the rear passenger’s quarter trim panel; four tweeters are found at the a-pillars and rear doors; two squawkers are to be found on the instrument panel that is relatively close to the A-pillar, and last but not the least of the 14, the center channel speaker is found at the instrument panel’s center.

The people behind Toyota, driven by a goal to develop the next generation of Land Cruisers to be the toughest thus far, designers as well as the engineers slowly and meticulously developed the frame and body of the latest Land Cruiser. It is equipped with Toyota shocks that will surely dampen any unnecessary up-down movement of the vehicle caused by road bumps.
