2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition: Adventure ready

Toyota adds a bit of kit and deletes a few things to make the venerable Land Cruiser ready for off-pavement trips.

Emme Hall
I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.

Don't look for any mechanical changes, however. The old 5.7-liter V8 engine knocks out 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Lots of low-end torque combined with full-time four-wheel drive and a locking center differential means the Land Cruiser can make quick work of steep, rocky hills.

A two-speed transfer case with a terrain management system helps navigate rocks, dirt, mud and sand.
