Toyota Brings Small Updates to 2025 Land Cruiser

toyota brings small updates to 2025 land cruiser

Already in its second model year, the handsome Toyota Land Cruiser is getting a smattering of updates for 2025.

Some of the changes are in the paint-and-wallpaper category, such as the addition of a single-tone Heritage Blue hue on the base trim, a selection that was formerly only available on pricier trims with the addition of a white roof. This change is simple but adds a dose of interest to the base trim since 2024 models were only available in three different shades, all of which were on the greyscale.

Attendees of the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction forty years from now will be able to sniff out the difference between a 2024 and 2025 thanks to the addition of integrated liftgate lights which provide improved cargo area visibility when the liftgate is open. This will be a boon to anyone using their Land Cruiser for overlanding or even just tailgating at the stadium, since the lamps will shine downwards and improve visibility into the cargo area.

Also on hand is a Premium package on the one-up-from-base trim, an option which will have to take over for the First Edition trim at the head of this table. After all, Toyota can’t exactly sell so-called first edition examples during each model year; best leave that to Stellantis which has a history of that at the opposite end of the spectrum by offering Final Edition vehicles only to trot out the thing again for an encore, thereby enraging hothead Mopar fanatics across the nation who though they bought the last of a particular breed.

Prices are up for the Land Cruiser in 2025, though not excessively. The base (so-called 1958) trim now commands $56,450 before fees, an increase of 500 smackers. No price is given for the next-rung trim though it is reasonable to expect a similar hike; if so, it would put that Land Cruiser at a $62,450 starting price (the Premium package described above presently trades for $4,600).

Several months ago our local Toyota dealer was charging a $10K markup for Land Cruisers. But this week I noticed several local dealers have discounted the MSRP of a few of their 1958 models by around $4K. Has the boom gone bust that fast?

Ιt it laughable to call this box "handsome". But I mainly write to guess that this model must be HUGELY INFERIOR to the Legendary Landcruisers of the Past, which used to sell for $80k+ (and the Lexus versions for 85k+), and that when the dollar was worth much more than today's Cackling Kamala Dollar.

  Um, the dollar is stronger now than when Donvict was in office. And yes, the current "Land Cruiser" is based on the lower end LC Prado.

Gray Here in Washington state they want to pass a law dictating what tires you can buy or not. They want to push economy tires in a northern state full of rain and snow. Everything in my driveway wears all terrains. I'm not giving that up for an up to 3 percent difference.
1995 SC I remember when Elon could do no wrong. Then we learned his politics and he can now do no right. And we is SpaceX always left out of his list of companies?
Steve Biro I’ll try one of these Tesla driverless taxis after Elon takes one to and from work each and every day for five years. Either he’ll prove to me they are safe… or he’ll be dead. Think he’ll be willing to try it?
Theflyersfan After the first hard frost or freeze - if the 10 day forecast looks like winter is coming - that's when the winter tires go on. You can call me a convert to the summer performance tire and winter tire car owner. I like the feel of the tires that are meant to be used in that season, and winter tires make all of the difference in snowy conditions. Plus, how many crazy expensive Porsches and Land Rovers do we see crashed out after the first snow because there's a chance that the owner still kept their summer tires on. "But...but...but I have all wheel drive!!!" Yes, so all four tires that now have zero grip can move in unison together.
Theflyersfan One thing the human brain can do very well (at least hopefully in most drivers) is quickly react to sudden changes in situations around them. Our eyes and brains can quickly detect another driving dangerously, a construction zone that popped up while we were at work, dense fog out of nowhere, conflicting lines and signs on some highways, kids darting out between cars, etc. All of this self driving tech has shown us that it is maybe 80% of the way there, but it's that last 20% that still scares the crap out of us. Self driving computers can have multiple cameras feeding the system constant information, but can it react in time or can it work through conflicting data - think of construction zones with lines everywhere, orange signs with new exit information by the existing green exit sign, etc. Plus, and I think it's just GM's test mules, some systems require preexisting "knowledge" of the routes taken and that's putting a lot of faith in a system that needs to be updated in real time. I think in the next 15-20 years, we'll have a basic system that can self drive along interstates and highways, but city streets and neighborhoods - the "last mile" - will still be self drive. Right now, I'd be happy with a system that can safely navigate the slog of rush hour and not require human input (tapping the wheel for example) to keep the system active.
