The current Toyota Land Cruiser is 193.7″ long, 78″ wide, on a 112.2″ wheelbase, weighing 5,038 lb. Since 1981 it has grown 23% in length and gained 30% in weight. At 16.1 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Toyota Land Cruiser generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1981 | 157.5″ | 65.7″ | 76.8″ | 90.2″ | 3,882 lb |
| 1983–1987 | 170.9″ | 68.5″ | 72.8″ | 98.8″ | 4,063 lb |
| 1988–1989 | 184.3″ | 70.9″ | 72″ | 107.5″ | 4,486 lb |
| 2024–2026 | 193.7″ | 78″ | 76″ | 112.2″ | 5,038 lb |
From 1981 to today the Land Cruiser gained 36.2″ of length (23%) and 1,155 lb of weight (30%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Land Cruiser year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 11 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 196.5″ | 78″ | 112.2″ | 1 | |
| 2025 | 196.5″ | 78″ | 112.2″ | 1 | |
| 2024 | 193.7″ | 78″ | 112.2″ | 1 | |
| 1989 | 184.3″ | 70.9″ | 107.5″ | 1 | |
| 1988 | 184.3″ | 70.9″ | 107.5″ | 1 | |
| 1987 | 172″ | 68.9″ | 99.2″ | 2 | |
| 1986 | 172″ | 68.9″ | 99.2″ | 2 | |
| 1985 | 172″ | 68.9″ | 99.2″ | 2 | |
| 1984 | 170.9″ | 68.5″ | 98.8″ | 2 | |
| 1983 | 170.9″ | 68.5″ | 98.8″ | 2 | |
| 1981 | 157.5″ | 65.7″ | 90.2″ | 1 |
Will a Land Cruiser fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 16.1 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 16.1 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.5 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 912 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 78″ | 73.6″ | +4.4″ |
| Wheelbase | 112.2″ | 111.8″ | +0.4″ |
| Curb weight | 5,038 lb | 3,997 lb | 1,041 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
