    2025 (Mini) Land Cruiser "FJ" Speculation Thread

    You raise a number of valid points, I added a /s to my post, I thought the sarcasm was apparent, but I'll use /s more often. I think what Toyota is facing is a new reality of the automotive market, with less adoption of the hard core models, making them economically viable is less and less of...

    2025 (Mini) Land Cruiser "FJ" Speculation Thread

    Payload

    Payload capacity depends on the design decisions during development, it consists of a number of things, frame size and metal gauge, the number of crossmembers, buckle points, suspension struts and springs capacity, axle capacity, body, etc. Here are a few google hits for more information...

    Payload

    Payload will change with the choices made in selecting your tire/wheel diameter and your chosen Tire Load Index and Tire Load Range. The lower the load range, such as B or Standard, the better the ride comfort. The higher the load range, such as D or E, the ride is harsher but with greater tire...

    Have the 250s/550s hit US shores?

    Maybe they are headed for Toyota Plano Headquarters for reviews and test drives. Everything that has been reported so far points to the retail GX550's and LC250's not hitting dealers until the April to June timeframe.
