Would you take a sporty little car on a camp trip? Probably not giving the extreme limitations of space as well as handling issues. Let’s face it; you simply cannot use just any car for camping. Certain vehicles have features as part of their design that help to lend themselves to be used for camping. One of these vehicles is the 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser is a multi-purpose vehicle in that it can be used for riding around town or taken off roading which often occurs when camping. This tough all terrain vehicle can pretty much go anywhere.
The 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser is equipped with a 5.7 liter V8 engine. This delivers a powerful 381 horsepower as well as 401 pound per foot of torque. It can easily ramble up some of the most unforgiving terrain. The Land Cruiser can also pull camping equipment such as a camper or a trailer with a boat. The vehicle is permanently engaged in four wheel drive which allows it to handle any weather conditions that it may face. Low range gearing help make the Land Cruiser a good vehicle for the outdoors. Another feature of the Land Cruiser is “crawl control”. This is a mode in three speed that allows for the vehicle’s ascent and descent. It allows the vehicle to remain at a constant speed when the road conditions become challenging. Therefore, the driver is free to focus on the road.
Camping vehicles must also provide adequate storage and seating for passengers. The 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser is able to seat a total of eight passengers. The second row of passenger seats does permit sliding and reclining for the comfort of the passengers. Overall, the Toyota Land Cruiser’s maximum amount of cargo space is 82 cubic feet.
