Not all 4x4s were created equal however. As well as being the king of overlanding, the Toyota Land Cruiser is a hugely capable workhorse. When it comes to which Land Cruiser is the best, the 200 Series is certainly up there, especially if you include the following upgrades in your work setup…
Towing mirrors
The use of towing mirrors is highly recommended and required by law (although the exact legalities depend on the size and width of the vehicle you are towing). Every driver should after all have an adequate view of the road behind them, including Land Cruiser owners towing trailers. Good quality towing mirrors aid visibility no-end, reducing blind spots to boost safety when towing for work.
If you’re in the market for towing mirrors, Clearview Compact Towing Mirrors should be your go-to. Their vehicle-specific design guarantees the perfect fit as well as seamless use across countless towing scenarios. They can also be fully retracted or extended at any point for optimum convenience.
Throttle controller
Whether using your Land Cruiser 200 Series for work or play, how it performs matters. The award-winning evcX Bluetooth Throttle Controller offers an easy to install and simple to use device that improves throttle response to give the feeling of more power, and even helps you save on fuel. It allows you to control your throttle response and enhance your overall driving experience as a result.
Rated recovery point
A recovery basic that no work vehicle should be without is a secure connection point that can be used to winch or snatch-strap your 200 Series to safety.
As a brand that has set the benchmark for how recovery points are designed, tested and selected by 4WDers, ARB offers reliable and robust recovery points that go above and beyond the generic tow points that may already be found on your Land Cruiser.
The ARB Front Recovery Point is the product of extensive research and a thorough CAD design process, not to mention rigorous testing across a wide range of applications. It is also rated for use with a 4.75t rated bow shackle and 8,000kg snatch strap to deliver the ultimate vehicle-specific mounting solution.
Suspension air bags
Pedders Air Bags are a suspension aid that could really make a difference to your working day. This air bag kit mitigates the strain and stress that carrying heavy loads and towing has on the suspension of your vehicle, with the ability to raise the rear of your Land Cruiser back to standard height preventing steering and safety issues.
Trade roof rack
Maximise the storage capacity of your Toyota Land Cruiser 2007-21 by fitting the ARB Trade Roof Rack to your rig. This design is not only off-road capable, but designed specifically for trade users.
ARB’s trade racks are open at the front and rear, with rails along both sides. This makes them ideal for trade use, and primed for the easy loading and carrying of ladders, timber, pipes and other longer items. If you use your Land Cruiser outside of your regular 9 to 5, the roof rack covers leisure applications to ensure excellent storage capacity whatever the adventure.
