    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    We have stock tires on our 2021 Land Cruiser (built December 2020) so it has the eight speed transmission. We added the 12.5 Gallon aux fuel tank and Firestone air bags (15 psi) inside the rear coil springs. The 2015 Airstream 23D International Serenity trailer scales 6,060 pounds. We see 10.5...

    Next Gen Land Cruiser

    The "new" Sequoia will have the hybrid drive trains of the Tundra (currently 3 choices) with more gears in the "23 model year . They have already pushed the price of the V8 model to Land Cruiser numbers and above. It was WAY past time since 2007 to change the body design and go to more than 6...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    Just asking, are electric brakes illegal is Australia? Are weight distribution hitches not allowed as well? They use the surge brakes in the UK and Europe as well. They also banned weight distribution hitches to preclude USA trailers from coming over. Was really impressed by the off reoad...

    Next Gen Land Cruiser

    None of my diesel road vehicles or farm tractors had water cooled turbo chargers. Thus my experience.

    Next Gen Land Cruiser

    Turbos are great..... if you know how to care for them. A 2" turbo and smaller can turn over 180,000 rpm (my family made them in the 60s). No blipping of the throttle until some temperature movement allows the warming oil to properly lube the turbo bearings. Letting the engine idle for a few...

    A straight six is the smoothest running naturally balnanced engine after a straight 12.

    Next Gen Land Cruiser

    With smaller displacement twin turbo engines becoming an involuntary choice, one needs to buy the longest time and miles extended warranty and plan to sell or trade before either of the limits are exceeded. A twin turbo repair out of warranty will seriously melt even an AmEx card. At ten years...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    There was a Toyota branded 8,000 pound draw bar in a box with no ball as I remember. Would have to be 2 ⅝” Ball to tow over 5,000 pound trailer. That was in the Toyota miscellanous parts along with afore mentioned adaper cord to attach the brake controller to the Toyota wiring harness I think...

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    The 2020 and 2021 sales literature says there is both a 4 wire and 7 wire trailer connection like on my 2021 model 200 LC built in December 2021. In the glove box was a white plug with four or five wires to enable connection of my RV brake controller. So the RV connectors on the right rear came...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Consider the filter carefully. Those accumulated bugs are a source of protein. :)

    Probably the smoothest engine out there is a straight six or 12.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Completed the install of the Australian LRA 12.5 gallon auxiliary gasoline tank above the spare tire (it is a precise and tight fit including a tube for the tire lowering rod), rear coil spring Firestone airbags and a Tuson RV brake controller. The auxiliary fuel tank gage is mounted in one of...

    300 series rumors???

    I have read that the UK and Europe were off of the most favored list like the USA so may not see a Series 300 at all.
