2012 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER REVIEW
The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser is powered by a 5.7L V8 that makes 381 hp and 401 lb-feet of torque. The aluminum-block engine is similar to that used in the Tundra full-size pickup, and includes direct ignition, four valves per cylinder, variable valve timing and variable-length intakes-- it now runs on regular unleaded gas and meets ULEV-II emissions. The engine delivers power through a 6-speed automatic transmission with a flexible-lockup torque converter for smoothness. All Land Cruisers have full-time 4-wheel drive that includes a low range, limited-slip rear differential and a locking Torsen center differential. 

WALKAROUND
A body-on-frame layout assures more long-term durability for the Land Cruiser than unibody sport utility vehicles. In front, the suspension has a high-mount double-wishbone setup that is better for off-roading while not sacrificing on-road performance. In back there's a 4-link coil-spring arrangement with a stabilizer bar. To provide a good mix of off-road ability and crisp handling on-road, there's a Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which uses hydraulic cylinders to vary the suspension's stiffness as needed.The Land Cruiser's interior has three rows of seating, capable of holding up to eight. For ease of entry to the third row, the second row on the passenger side has a one-touch tumble feature, and the second row adjusts about four inches fore and aft.The Land Cruiser has ten air bags--the most in any Toyota vehicle--and all eight seating positions have 3-point seatbelts. Multi-terrain anti-lock brakes, with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist, are standard, along with the VSC stability control system. Hill-start assist control is also included and helps keep the vehicle stationary when starting from a stop on a steep incline or slippery surface, as is downhill assist control, a feature designed to regulate a target speed down steep slopes while off-roading. 

SUMMARY
There is also the feature called Crawl Control. With the transfer case shifted to the low range, Crawl Control controls the throttle and brakes to maintain one of three speed settings ranging up to about 5 mph, allowing the driver to focus on steering around obstacles.Throughout, the new Land Cruiser has more sound insulation to yield a much quieter interior. The climate system has a micro-dust and pollen filter, with four zones and 28 air vents throughout the cabin.The standard-features list on the Land Cruiser is surprisingly luxurious, including amenities such as a power moonroof, heated power seats, rear privacy glass, Smart Key keyless entry and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls. The audio system is a JBL Synthesis that includes in-dash 6-disc CD/DVD changer, MP3/WMA playback capability, 13 speakers, a subwoofer, Bluetooth, satellite radio and iPod connectivity.Major options include a DVD rear entertainment system, a back-up camera, second-row heated seats and a touch screen navigation system that offers satellite-based traffic information.

2012 TOYOTA VENZA REVIEW
For 2012, Toyota revised the Venza's trim lineup to make it more like the automaker's other cars. There are now LE, XLE and Limited trims, two engines and two drivetrains available.The 2.7L 4-cylinder engine makes 182 hp and 182 lb-feet of torque. It's available on the LE and XLE trims and with both front-wheel and all-wheel drivetrains. The 3.5L makes 268 hp and 246 lb-ft of torque. It comes on LE, XLE and Limited trims in both drivetrain options. A 6-speed automatic transmission is the only one available across the lineup. 

WALKAROUND
The LE trim comes well equipped regardless of the engine, with 19-inch wheels, power-adjustable front seats, remote keyless entry, anti-lock brakes and a solid list of safety features. A power liftgate and rearview monitor can be added, as can a power tilt/slide panoramic sunroof.The XLE adds the power liftgate as standard equipment, leather heated seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a push-button start system Toyota calls Smart Key and woodgrain interior trim. A Premium package adds a JBL stereo with Bluetooth and iPod connectivity and a panoramic sunroof. Navigation is also available that also includes a rearview monitor and the JBL premium stereo.The Limited trim, only available with the V6 and all-wheel drive adds as standard equipment, HID headlamps, navigation, heated seats and a panoramic sunroof. 

SUMMARY
The Venza's ride comes from a very car-like independent MacPherson strut suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars. Electric power steering and vented disc brakes are also included. The Venza has a certain SUV feel to it as well, including a higher ride height, a rear wiper and plenty of interior room as well as 30 cubic feet of cargo space-68 cubic feet with the rear seats down. The Venza also offers a solid 3500-pound towing capacity.

2012 Toyota Tundra Review
Toyota's Tundra is available in more than 50 variations to meet different truck users' needs for 2012, with 2- or 4-wheel drive, three cab styles (regular, Double Cab, and Crew Max), three bed lengths (short, standard, and long), three wheelbases and three different engines. The 5.7L V8 offers an E85 flex-fuel option. Each of the three beds is about 22 inches deep and shaped to accept 2x8-foot lumber dividers. The steel tailgate is designed to be opened and closed with just two fingers, and there's also an available Deck Rail system for more individualized cargo arrangements. 

Walkaround
Regular cab models are the standard two- door arrangement with one row of seating, the Double Cab offers smaller rear doors for occasional back-seat passengers, and the big Crew Max brings full-size rear doors and seating comparable to that offered in big SUVs. Crew Max models also have a unique reclining and sliding rear seat, while Double Cabs get a folding seat bottom that allows for a flat storage area when the seat isn't in use. The base engine on regular and Double Cab standard-bed models is a 236-horsepower, 4.0L V6. Crew Max and Double Cab long-bed models get a 4.6L V8 making 310 horsepower and 327 ft-lb of torque. A 5.7L "iForce" V8 making 381 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque is available on all models and on 4-wheel drive Tundras, in some regions, the engine can be optioned to run on E85 ethanol/gasoline blend. All of the engines meet the stringent ULEV II emissions certification and run on regular grade gas. The 4.0L engine is paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, but the 4.6L and 5.7L both drive 6-speed automatics. All Tundras have a rear suspension design that maintains a level ride height even with a full load; underneath are fully boxed frame rails in front and rolled C- channel members in back. When properly equipped, the Tundra can tow nearly 11,000 pounds. The Tundra has more standard safety features than most of its competitors. Front-seat side airbags are standard on all models, along with roll-sensing side -curtain airbags and new front seat knee airbags. Also, 4-wheel disc brakes with vehicle stability control are standard on all Tundras. New this year is standard trailer sway control programming and brake override technology, which use the truck's stability control system to detect unintended side-to-side movement at the rear wheels while towing and uses the truck's anti-lock brake system to help counteract yaw caused by unwanted trailer motion. A trailer brake controller allows the driver to control the amount of brake boost applied to the trailer's electric brakes when the driver applies the vehicle's brakes. While the safety features are standard across the line, the Tundra ranges from basic to very luxurious inside depending on the trim level, starting at the very frugal base model and going all the way up to the very well-appointed Limited. Different Tundra models are available, including a new "Work Truck" no frills trim level that's available in standard cab or double cab versions. It features plain black bumpers, vinyl seats, rubber floor mat and manual-adjustable mirrors. Limited Double Cab and CrewMax get equipment upgrades such as power front seats, 6-disc CD changer, heated mirrors and mud guards. The Limited model includes all the interior luxury features offered in full-size SUVs, such as dual- zone climate control, heated power front seats and a 440-watt JBL surround-sound system. Finally, a Platinum edition available on the Limited CrewMax features power memory, navigation, sunroof, unique 20-inch wheels, wood and chrome interior accents and "Platinum" badging. 

Summary
Inside, all models feature a tilt/telescopic steering wheel, door handles and control knobs large enough to be operated with gloves. The glovebox is designed to be big enough to hold a Thermos and the center console is large enough for a laptop or for file storage. Interior power outlets stay live for two hours after the ignition is switched off. A TRD (Toyota Racing Development) Off- Road Package is optional on the Tundra, bringing an off-road suspension, off-road tires, skid plates, fog lamps and more. New TRD Sport and TRD Rock Warrior packages include special color-keyed bumpers. Rock Warrior also gets a special TRD-tuned off-road suspension and both offer unique wheels. Other notable options include a DVD-based navigation with rearview camera, rear- seat DVD entertainment system and larger 20-inch wheels.

2012 Toyota Tacoma Review
The 2012 Toyota Tacoma comes priced with an official MSRP of $27,250. It features a 4.0 liter engine which is a V-6 variant possessing a mighty and more than sufficient two hundred and thirty-six horsepower. With a five speed automatic transmission featuring overdrive, this beauty is a four wheel drive truck with an ABS anti locking brakes and also comes standard with a drive line traction control and stability control feature. It gets a fairly impressive twenty miles per gallon on the highway and sixteen miles per gallon around town (16/21 city/highway MPG). The 2012 Tacoma sports a four by four double cab with a long box configuration. 

Options
The 2012 Tacomas interior features are comfortable and luxurious. The front seats are bucket styled with front center armrests. It seats five comfortably, and features split bench rear seats, along with a split folding rear seat. Naturally, Toyota outfits the vehicle with a variety of features, including a passenger vanity mirror, a tilt steering wheel, a telescoping steering wheel, power windows, and overhead console and passenger door bin, along with basic and anticipated amenities such as air conditioning and one touch down windows. 

Summary
There are many pros to purchasing the Toyota Tacoma 2012 model truck. It is a powerful, well handling truck useful both on and off road. It has a generous amount of front headroom at more than forty inches, as well as ample legroom at nearly forty-two inches. The rear compartment head room is also fairly good, at thirty-eight and a half inches, along with decent rear legroom at thirty two and a half inches. On top of this, the truck is a fine hauler. Its towing capabilities range from thirty-five hundred to sixty-five hundred pounds.

2012 Toyota Sienna Review
Two engines are available this year: a 187-hp 4-cylinder and a 265-horsepower 3.5L V6. Each engine comes linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission. What the 4-cylinder lacks in power, it more than makes up for in fuel economy--it's capable of 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway-a class-leading achievement.While the Sienna's suspension is tuned toward comfort, the SE trim gets revised springs/dampeners for better handling that approaches that of a car. The standard 19" wheels on the SE trim are a nice complement to that trim's privacy glass, roof rails and smoked chrome exterior trim. 

Walkaround
The Sienna is the only vehicle in its class to offer optional all-wheel drive. Toyota's system utilizes a center differential to split power 50/50 between the front and rear wheels under normal driving situations, but transfers more to the wheels that have traction during slippery conditions. Other Siennas are configured as front-wheel drive.Safety is an important factor in designing any minivan, and the Sienna comes with a long list of such features. Electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes with brake assist are standard, as are front seat-mounted side airbags and side-curtain bags for all three rows. Driver knee airbags are also included. All-wheel drive models are also fitted with run-flat tires which allow the Sienna to go up to 100 miles at 55 mph once the tire loses air.Interior accommodations in the Sienna include three rows of seating and a capacity of either seven or eight. The 8-passenger configuration-offered on LE and XLE trims-includes a second-row bench seat that can slide fore and aft. The 7-passenger models substitute two captain's chairs for the bench. Second and third-row seats are removable to expand cargo space. 

Summary
CE, LE, XLE and Limited trims for the Sienna span a very wide range of equipment, depending on whether the buyer wants simple and basic or luxurious. The base CE does include most popular equipment such as keyless entry, power windows/locks/mirrors, cruise control, 3-zone air conditioning and a 4-speaker CD sound system; it's the only model to not offer all-wheel drive as an option. At the top of the range, the Limited adds Smart Key remote keyless system, a power moonroof, heated seats, automatic climate control system, woodgrain trim and a parking-assist system and a Bluetooth hands-free calling interface.Options at the top of the line include a unique dual-view entertainment system that allows rear seat passengers to watch two different programs on one display, navigation satellite radio, HID headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and radar cruise control.

2012 Toyota Sequoia Review
After taking last year off, the 2012 Toyota Sequoia is back and standing taller than ever among the other full-size SUVs in its class. The 2012 Toyota Sequoia gets freshened styling and a new base engine. Sequoia shares elements of its basic design with Toyota's Tundra pickup truck. Saying that the Sequoia is big is a gross understatement. Two new engines provide mammoth power and capability. The base 310-horsepower, 4.6-liter i-Force V-8 produces 34 horsepower more than the 2008 Sequoia. If thats not enough juice for you, a 381-horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8 has 401 pounds-feet of torque and can tow up to 10,000 pounds. The Sequoia also boasts a 381-horsepower, 5.7-liter engine with Flex-fuel capability. Competing with the likes of the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition and Nissan Armada, the Sequoia receives 13-14 mpg in the city and 18-19 mpg on the highway. 

Walkaround
The Sequoia is available in three trim levels SR5, Limited and Platinum. All trims seat up to eight passengers quite comfortably in three rows of seats. The second row slides to create easy access to the power-operated third row (power optional). Choose between cloth or leather-trimmed front bucket seats with power or adjustable lumbar control and 10-way power-adjustable drivers seat. Seven-passenger perforated leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front bucket seats are optional. All three trims feature three-zone climate control, dual 12V auxiliary power outlets, high solar-energy absorbing tinted glass and a power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade. Newly standard on the SR5 is a 310-hp 4.6-liter V8 engine, which replaces a 276-hp 4.7-liter V8. Optional on SR5 and standard on Limited and Platinum is a 381-hp 5.7-liter V8. All Sequoias have a 6-speed automatic transmission and are available with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive that can be left engaged on dry pavement. The 4WD system includes a low-range gear for off-road use. Maximum towing capacity is 10,000 lb. All 4WD models with the 5.7 V8 can be equipped to run on E85 ethanol-blended fuel. Seating for eight is standard on SR5 and Limited. Seven-passenger seating via 2nd-row bucket seats is standard on the Platinum and a no-charge option on the Limited.

Driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags and front- and all-row roll-sensing side curtain airbags and driver and passenger knee airbags are all standard.
