A bank vault with 4-wheel drive.

1997 Land Cruiser Review Summary & Specifications

Unless you're a survivalist and find the militant Hummer appealing,

there's no argument the Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the most capable

mass-produced sport-utilities on the planet. Others are bigger, more powerful,

will tow a bigger load, carry more people, are more nimble, faster, and

more stylish.

But if you want the all-round capable, with lots of luxury, the Land

Cruiser is it. And it is built like a bank vault.
