Consumer Guide
Gizmos and abbreviations abound (HAC, VSC, EBD, A-TRAC, DAC), as they do on the other gilt-edge SUVs.

That means that not only does standard equipment include the formerly free stuff--power windows, locks and mirrors; a moonroof; leather upholstery; heated front and second-ro seats; and four-zone climate control--it now also includes Bluetooth; a navigation system; a rear-seat DVD entertainment system; rain-sensing wipers; a center-console cooled compartment; adaptive cruise control; and a heated, leather-trimmed steering wheel.
Entune is also standard on the Land Cruiser for 2013. Wrapped into the audio system along with HD radio, satellite radio, a USB port and Bluetooth streaming, Entune enables mobile-phone app connectivity. That means your phone's Bing search can be run through the Land Cruiser's audio system, bringing live results to its navigation screen. Pandora music can filter through its audio system. You can even make OpenTable reservations using voice commands and steering-wheel controls while on the go.
Conclusion
The standard Land Cruiser comes with plenty of luxury features--and for nearly $80,000, it should.
