Ever wonder about the Land Cruiser’s suitability for your off-road excursion? You aren’t the first, but don’t fret. There were many before you who have tested the Land Cruiser’s mettle over the most rugged terrain in the world. Here is one trip that proves the Land Cruiser is the vehicle to take.

From Texas To Alaska

John Montesi and his dog Hank drove the Land Cruiser with a destination in mind, Alaska, and a vision to explore along the way. John often took gravel roads that looked like they headed nowhere, just to see where they went. The Land Cruiser Multi-Terrain Select renders the road surface irrelevant.

In the grasslands of Texas, his Land Cruiser cavorted with the wild pronghorn antelope and prairie dog. With the 5.7-liter V-8, the Land Cruiser keeps pace with just about anything.

Entering the Rockies, John spent a weekend exploring the Roaring Fork River Valley, often turning off the road to find the end of off-camber double track roads that led to jagged peaks with spectacular views — views that told him which peak to explore next. The Land Cruiser’s Crawl Control can navigate the most difficult terrain, getting you to that peak.

In the Moab region, John took the infamous Shaffer Trail to the rim of the Canyonlands National Park. Cooling, leather-trimmed seats and multizone temperature controls in the Land Cruiser make the desert just another place to explore.

So stop wondering if the Land Cruiser can do it. Take John’s lead and find your spectacular view. Buy a Land Cruiser today and see for yourself what the off-road has in store.
