American automakers have been paying attention to this Japanese company. They can't take Toyota for granted any longer. It's clear that the Japanese automaker has shushed, hushed the mouths of the naysayers. With its large menu of vehicles, it has made a huge dent in the hearts and pocketbooks of most consumers. The Japanese automaker appears to have been able to meet the demands of each generation of consumers. It goes without saying that the company has been able to match their taste too. This is so true with the super deluxe, all-luxury 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser 4WD 4 door. Shopping with a good friend of mine, I had the opportunity to test drive it recently.
What are the 2004 Toyotal Land Cruiser's Competitors?
Believe it or not, this great piece of engineering has its competitors on the market. If you find yourself having to compare the 2004 Toyota with any of the following vehicles, then you'll know for sure that this truck is in its own league. Some of the competitors are: 2004 Chevrolet Surburban K1500 4 door Sport Utility, 2004 Cadillac Escalade AWD 4 door Sport Utility, 2004 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4 wheel drive 4 door Sport Utility, 2004 GMC Yukon Yukon Denali AWD 4 door Sport Utility, 2004 Hummer H2 4 door Sport Utility. I have test-driven most of these trucks. I have found them to be nothing that can be compared with the Toyotal Land Cruiser. Either some of them are too stiff or others are too bulky with no sense of aesthetics. Well, let me just add that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
What to expect on the 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser?
Once I completed the regular formalities of the dealership, I was well on my way for the spin around the city. Fortunately, there are lots of freeways around. I found the Toyota Land Cruiser to be very responsive. Once I pressed on the accelerator, I could feel how the truck was ready to power itself in the lane. With a 4.7 engine, 235 horsepower @4800 rpm, this toyota is the new beast on the road. Yet, it drives smooth. That's what pleases a female friend of mine who also test-drove the vehicle. There's no sweating in steering it at all. The only drawback would the 13/16 MPG. We can agree with the fact that this V8 truck equipped with the latest equipment and technological gadgets compensates for any deficiencies.
What are some of the features you will find?
Expect to find vehicle stability control, traction control, and dual multi-stage airbags, front and rear automatic climate control,driver and front-passenger, power tilt, telescoping steering wheel and many more equipments. It's worth noting that the toyota comes equipped with DVD and backup camera etc.
I enjoyed my test-driving experience. I would recommend it to anybody who is on the market for a new luxuy vehicle.
