Land Cruisers, to me, are just useless Toyotas. My friend, Vikki, had one. ONE. And went to Blazers. And is all around happier. And back to Expedition vs. Land Cruiser, you do realize that Land Cruisers start at over $20,000 more then Expeditions right? The top-of-the-line 2007 Ford Expedition EL Limited 4X4 is priced at $42,575, while the base model 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser 4X4 is: $56,215! Thats seriously expensive. And just for 500lb more towing? I don't think so. And thats really the Land Cruiser's only benefit. The Expedition XLT has more horsepower: Expedition has 300HP and 365lb-ft torque and Land Cruiser has 275HP and 332lb-ft torque. Expedition wins in the room area too: Expeditions have 9 passengers, while Land Cruisers seat 8, and the only area Land Cruisers have more room is in the front row leg room. Only in 1 inch. Sure, the base model Expedition lacks 2 cubic feet in rear cargo space, but Expedition EL has 22 cubic inches more in cargo space. And I admit the Land Cruiser is better offroad. But the Expedition was not meant to be a offroad SUV. In my opinion, and I think this very true, there are three types of SUVs. True SUVs (offroaders, like Broncos and Land Cruisers), multi-purpose work SUVs (Expeditions, Explorers, Suburbans) and then City SUVs (Escapes, Nitros).
