2015 Toyota Land Cruiser vs. Land Rover Range Roverin Lakeland, FL

ENGINE AND POWERTRAIN

When you have a big brute large SUV, you obviously need the power to match and get your all over Florida with ease. You'll find that with the 5.7L V8 producing a massive 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque in the 2015 Toyota Land Cruiser. By contrast, you'll get a 3.0L Supercharged LR-V6 with 340 hp and only 332 lb-ft. of torque or, in upper models (which aren't available on the Land Cruiser), a 5.0L V8 with 510 hp is offered in the Land Rover. Both cars come with standard 4WD, but towing capabilities excel in the much more powerful Land Rover with a maximum towing capacity of a whopping 8,200 pounds. If you have a heavier trailer or boat, you're out of luck in the Range Rover, which only reaches a towing capacity of 7,716 pounds. Winner: 2015 Land Cruiser by a landslide!
