Toyota Land Cruiser 300 FAQ
Why is the Land Cruiser 300 so respected?
Decades of proven reliability in the harshest environments, combined with the 300-series’ strong twin-turbo V6, full-time 4WD and serious off-road tech, make it the default choice for remote touring, aid work and heavy towing where breaking down is not an option.
Land Cruiser 300 vs Nissan Patrol?
The 300 offers a torque-rich diesel and legendary durability; the petrol V8 Patrol is cheaper and characterful but thirstier and less efficient. See our Land Cruiser vs Patrol comparison.
Does the Land Cruiser 300 have diff locks?
Yes — a locking centre differential and rear locker, with an added front locker and E-KDSS articulation on the GR Sport.
