Competition Check

Competitors to the Toyota Land Cruiser in the luxury SUV market are heavyweights such as the Land Rover Range Rover and Lexus LX. The luxury and off-road capabilities of the Land Rover Range Rover simply cannot be rivaled, though, of course, the price tag is also pretty astronomical. So, another alternative to the Land Cruiser comes in more premium terms in the Lexus LX. However, the Land Cruiser has rugged durability and a rich heritage you, which is relatively less expensive than its counterpart Lexus LX.
