How the Toyota Land Cruiser compares with the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler and Land Rover Defender for drivers in Victorville and across the High Desert.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is a body-on-frame SUV with full-time four-wheel drive and a hybrid powertrain, built to balance trail capability with a refined cabin. It uses the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, the only powertrain offered.
The 2027 Land Cruiser comes in two grades, the retro-styled Land Cruiser 1958 and the Land Cruiser. For 2027, Toyota has added an available High Mounted Air Intake, available heated and ventilated second-row outboard seats, and a new exterior color called Inked.
This guide compares the Land Cruiser with three rivals: the Ford Bronco, the Jeep Wrangler and the Land Rover Defender.
Fuel economy figures are EPA estimates, and your actual mileage will vary. Towing depends on how the vehicle is equipped and loaded.
