2027 Toyota Land Cruiser Safety & Driver-Assist: Toyota Safety Sense in Dallas
Every 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser leaves the factory with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. There is no option box to check, no package to buy and no grade restriction. The Land Cruiser 1958 and the Land Cruiser grade carry the identical seven-system suite, and both add Blind Spot Monitor, Safe Exit Alert and front and rear parking sensors on top of it.
For shoppers in Dallas, South Dallas, Desoto, Duncanville, Arlington and Waxahachie, this page covers what is standard on both grades, what the Land Cruiser grade adds, and what only the Premium Package unlocks.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 — The Seven Standard Systems
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 pairs a forward-facing camera with a radar sensor to identify vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists and lane markings, then alert the driver or intervene when conditions call for it. All seven systems below are standard on both grades.¶
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
Scans ahead for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, and for 2027 it also detects motorcyclists. It adds intersection support for oncoming vehicles and crossing pedestrians during a turn, and can apply emergency braking if a collision risk develops.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Holds a set following distance from a complete stop up to highway speeds, bringing the Land Cruiser to a halt in stop-and-go traffic and resuming when traffic moves. Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 adds a fourth following-distance setting.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
Warns visually and audibly if the vehicle drifts, then applies minor steering corrections. Lane recognition also reads certain three-dimensional objects, such as guardrails, to help define the lane edge.
Lane Tracing Assist
Keeps the Land Cruiser centered using lane markings and the path of the vehicle ahead, and offsets slightly when passing vehicles in adjacent lanes. Requires Dynamic Radar Cruise Control to be active.
Emergency Driving Stop System
A function of Lane Tracing Assist. It monitors driver inputs such as steering, and if the driver becomes unresponsive it escalates warnings and brings the vehicle to a stop.
Proactive Driving Assist
Provides gentle braking into curves and subtle steering support to help maintain distance from a preceding vehicle, pedestrian or bicyclist during ordinary driving.
Road Sign Assist
Reads speed limit, stop, Do Not Enter, yield and certain warning signs, displaying them on the Multi-Information Display.
Automatic High Beams
Switches between high and low beams based on oncoming and preceding traffic.
¶ Driver-assist and safety systems are supplemental aids and are not a substitute for safe, attentive driving. Their effectiveness depends on weather, road, and traffic conditions and other factors. Always obey traffic laws and stay attentive to the road. See your owner’s manual for system details and limitations.

Does the 2027 Land Cruiser Have Blind Spot Monitoring and Parking Sensors?
Yes — on both grades, as standard factory equipment, with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Merge Warning included.
The Blind Spot Monitor uses side-facing radar to detect vehicles in the adjacent lanes and lights an indicator in the corresponding side mirror. Signal toward an occupied lane and the indicator flashes with an audible warning. For drivers using the Land Cruiser’s 6,000-pound maximum towing capacity,§ Trailer Merge Warning extends the radar scanning zone rearward along the sides of a trailer to account for the added length during lane changes. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert detects vehicles approaching from either side while you reverse out of a driveway or parking space.
§ Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Every system in the table below is standard on both grades.¶

Off-Road Visibility: Multi-Terrain Monitor and Terrain Systems
Toyota’s Multi-Terrain Monitor is part of the Panoramic View Monitor system.¶ Press the button and it displays front, rear and side camera views on the 12.3-inch touchscreen, including the terrain beneath the vehicle, so you can place tires over obstacles without a spotter.
Multi-Terrain Monitor is standard on the Land Cruiser grade and is not offered on the Land Cruiser 1958. Three chassis systems work alongside it.
CRAWL Control is standard on both grades — a low-speed off-road cruise control with five selectable speeds that modulates throttle and braking so the driver can focus on steering.
Multi-Terrain Select is standard on the Land Cruiser grade and not offered on the 1958. It provides Auto, Dirt, Sand, Mud, Rock and Deep Snow modes, operable in both 4WD High and 4WD Low.
The Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism is available on the Land Cruiser grade. At the push of a button it releases the front stabilizer bar for greater suspension articulation over uneven ground.

What the Premium Package Adds
The Premium Package is available only on the Land Cruiser grade, and it is the only way to get front-facing and lane-change driver assistance on a 2027 Land Cruiser.¶

Lane Change Assist provides steering support to complete a lane change on controlled-access highways when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and Lane Tracing Assist are both active.
Traffic Jam Assist offers low-speed hands-free driving on designated access-controlled freeways in heavy stop-and-go traffic. It requires an applicable Drive Connect subscription.
The package also adds a Head-Up Display, a digital rearview mirror that stays clear with cargo filling the rear, heated and ventilated second-row outboard seats that are new for 2027, and a 14-speaker JBL premium audio system.
