Toyota Prices 2024 Land Cruiser, Starts $55,950

After a small hiatus, the Toyota Land Cruiser returns for 2024, occupying a slightly different spot on the food chain than its forebear.

We’ll get pricing out of the way before diving into any weeds. The so-called ‘1958’ trim wears the headline-grabbing $55,950 price tag, equipped with those retro round LED headlamps and TOYOTA heritage billboard grille. On the spec sheet you’ll find an 8.0-inch infotainment screen, 2.4-kW inverter, locking center and rear differentials, two-speed transfer case, and coil springs out back. There are but a trio of colors if that matters to you.


Next up, and simply called Land Cruiser, is the trim which diverts to rectangular headlamps and is priced at $61,950. Upgrades include 12.3-inch infotainment, power liftgate, and a stabilizer disconnect mechanism for gnarly off-road moves. There are also extra dirt road driving modes thanks to multi-terrain select programming. Finally, the probably-one-year-only First Edition trades for round headlights, sundry badges, and accessories like rock rails and skid plates. Price? A heady $74,950. Those sums do not include destination and other fees.


For now, the Land Cruiser is only available with a hybrid powertrain under the iForce Max banner, belting out 326 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. It is worth noting fraternal platform brother GX 550 has a twin-turbo V6 stuffed up its blocky nose though its output, at 349 horses and 479 torques, isn’t much different from the Cruiser’s 2.4L four-banger hybrid.


All trims get the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of nannies, including lane departure tools, pre-collision system, and dynamic radar cruise control. There is also the typical function found in rigs like these which operates like low-speed off-road cruise control. Approach and departure angles are 31 and 22 degrees, if you’re wondering.


The reshuffling of Land Cruiser’s place in the lineup certainly leaves room for the big three-row Sequoia at that end of the spectrum but can be argued to overlap the 4Runner ever so slightly in terms of mission and appearance if not price as the top rung TRD Pro trim has an MSRP of $55,170 – right where the Land Cruiser starts off. A new 4Runner is anticipated for 2025.

    So is this what the 4Runner is called now or is this a model above it?

    Aw, that's just the base price. Toyota dealers aren't in the same class as BMW/Porsche upsellers, and the Toyota base is more complete, but nobody will be driving that model off the lot at that price.

  • Redapple2 I gave up on Honda. My 09 Accord Vs my 03. The 09s- V 6 had a slight shudder when deactivating cylinders. And the 09 did not have the 03 's electro luminescent gages. And the 09 had the most uncomfortable seats. My brother bought his 3rd and last Honda CRV. Brutal seats after 25 minutes. NOW, We are forever Toyota, Lexus, Subaru people now despite HAVING ACCESS TO gm EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT. Despite having access to the gm employee discount. Man, that is a massive statement. Wow that s bad - Under no circumstances will I have that govna crap.
  • Redapple2 Front tag obscured. Rear tag - clear and sharp. Huh?
  • Redapple2 I can state what NOT to buy. HK. High theft. Insurance. Unrefined NVH. Rapidly degrading interiors. HK? No way !
  • Luke42 Serious answer:Now that I DD an EV, buying an EV to replace my wife’s Honda Civic is in the queue. My wife likes her Honda, she likes Apple CarPlay, and she can’t stand Elon Musk - so Tesla starts the competition with two demerit-points and Honda starts the competition with one merit-point.The Honda Prologue looked like a great candidate until Honda announced that the partnership with GM was a one-off thing and that their future EVs would be designed in-house.Now I’m more inclined toward the Blazer EV, the vehicle on which the Prologue is based. The Blazer EV and the Ultium platform won’t be orphaned by GM any time soon. But then I have to convince my wife she would like it better than her Honda Civic, and that’s a heavy lift because she doesn’t have any reason to be dissatisfied with her current car (I take care of all of the ICE-hassles for her).Since my wife’s Honda Civic is holding up well, since she likes the car, and since I take care of most of the drawbacks of drawbacks of ICE ownership for her, there’s no urgency to replace this vehicle.Honestly, if a paid-off Honda Civic is my wife’s automotive hill to die on, that’s a pretty good place to be - even though I personally have to continue dealing the hassles and expenses of ICE ownership on her behalf.My plan is simply to wait-and-see what Honda does next. Maybe they’ll introduce the perfect EV for her one day, and I’ll just go buy it.
  • 2ACL I have a soft spot for high-performance, shark-nosed Lancers (I considered the less-potent Ralliart during the period in which I eventually selected my first TL SH-AWD), but it's can be challenging to find a specimen that doesn't exhibit signs of abuse, and while most of the components are sufficiently universal in their function to service without manufacturer support, the SST isn't one of them. The shops that specialize in it are familiar with the failure as described by the seller and thus might be able to fix this one at a substantial savings to replacement. There's only a handful of them in the nation, however. A salvaged unit is another option, but the usual risks are magnified by similar logistical challenges to trying to save the original.I hope this is a case of the seller overvaluing the Evo market rather than still owing or having put the mods on credit. Because the best offer won't be anywhere near the current listing.
