Here's an actual video of Toyota Auto Body Yoshiwara plant, where LC300, LX and 70-Series are made And for sh*t and giggles here's a video of the Mega Cruiser being compared to LC300 GR-sport and FJ Cruiser The difference in ground clearance is immense (nearly 17 inches of min ground...

And this is why the 300-series is the KING of not only all Land Cruisers but all 4WD. Look at the upper control arms open design of the 250-series (left) vs the fully boxed design of the 300-series (right)

The GR Hilux Dakar won the Dakar in 2022, 2023 and 2025. If I'm not mistaken they switched from using 2UR V8 to V35A from 2022 and on. Now, I have no idea if they had any engine problems with the V35A since switching from the V8.

Has the V35A recall affected gulf-spec LCs with the V35A engine?

GR Hybrid wins

Spec sheet for the two top trims VXR Hybrid and GR sport Hybrid Really odd that the VXR gets 98 liters fuel capacity which is 25.8 US gallon and the GR sport gets 68 liters which is 17.9 US gallon. Both trims are listed as having 3rd row seats.

Toyota Gibraltar is Toyota's official direct sales supplier for the UN, Humanitarian Aid and Conservation organisations worldwide. On their website they offer the 300-series in either the Twin Turbo V6 petrol or Twin Turbo V6 diesel. https://www.toyota-gib.com/en/models/land-cruiser-300.html...

Yes, the hood and the targa (removable) roof was made of aluminium.

The problem isn't the hood being aluminium, the problem is too thin aluminium. The MK4 Supra's hood is fully aluminium but it's solid as hell and does not flutter at all. But the MK4 is golden age 90's Toyota.

Not just ME, pretty much every market got the sub-tank option and other goodies that were not available for the North-American market. For example euro-spec 200-series came with 18's or 20's and also the choice between KDSS or AHC/AVS from day 1.

300-series LC Hybrid (same 3.4 V6 and Hybrid as the 700h) leaving the factory in Japan.

You heard wrong. The GX just as the Prado is classified as "light-duty" by Toyota.

This video shows why Toyota classifies the 250-series as "light-duty" and 300-series not as such.
