# Toyota Shows You What It’s Like to Go Wheeling in Their $80,000 Land Cruiser

Toyota's Land Cruiser is essentially overkill. More capability than you'd really ever need paired with a higher grade of luxury than you'd expect from the Japanese company. Pricing starts at $84,325, which is within $1,000 of an entry-level Range Rover -- so the money's there as well. That's a lot of scratch to drive around in the Outback, but Toyota wants to prove to you just how confident they are in their product. So if you've got the means, grab 7 of your friends and plunge through whatever terrain you can think of. The 5.7L V8 will give you plenty of force to do so.
