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.
  • Cprescott The truck was a deal when first launched. It is not a deal now and appears to be only good to be an urban cowboymobile instead of a serious truck based on range issues.
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X It is a money losing venture. Like a country that is $35 trillion in debt and still able to give away tens of billions of dollars when asked.
  • SCE to AUX YTD sales of the Lightning are up 86% vs 2023, but I was told here that sales were dropping. https://insideevs.com/news/735988/ford-record-ev-sales-q3-2024/
  • Theflyersfan $2000 on what could be a $90,000+ truck that loses a lot of range when asked to use it like a truck. How generous of Ford. I shall write a check for one right now.
  • Tassos BAck to the article: 2 grand for an $80k truck? Really? I bet it will cost FOrd very little, since there will be few, if any, takers. ($2k to switch from an ICE to an EV? Add a zero better, Ford!)
