" Land Cruisers have always offered a dichotomy: They&amp;#039;re Toyota&amp;#039;s most luxurious SUVs on the road, yet also the most capable in the dirt. The new one feels every bit as bulletproof and adept as its predecessors--maybe more so. Much of the four-wheeling talent comes from a chassis with excellent wheel travel and some seriously trick technology. The Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which was previously available only on the Lexus GX 470, can essentially loosen the sway bar&amp;#039;s grip on the suspension for increased axle articulation and, hence, more traction when off-road. Then, the system can tighten the sway bar back up for highway use. When one of those big tires does lose traction, the four-wheel traction-control system senses tire slippage quickly and does its work unobtrusively. The neatest 4wd feature, however, is the Crawl Control, which is like a cruise-control system for off-road driving. Turn the dial to one of three preset ultralow speeds, and the Land Cruiser maintains that speed uphill or downhill, leaving just one responsibility for the driver: steering. The system gives the Cruiser tractorlike proficiency. The only down-side? It takes almost all the challenge away from the driver. Not a bad problem to have when you&amp;#039;re buried deep in the boonies.
