Toyota Land Cruiser Towing Capacity & Weight

Gary White   Author: Gary White


The Landcruiser off-road vehicle has been in production for well over half a century, and to this day it has lost nothing of its basic form as a vehicle for serious off-road use – although it now also offers the comfort of a modern SUV. Toyota prides itself on having the world's best-selling SUV in its portfolio, the Land Cruiser.

When the Land Cruiser was born in 1951, the model did not yet have its current name. After a prototype of the off-road vehicle had been constructed a year earlier, the first BJ 40 type went into service with the Japanese authorities – with a diesel engine with a displacement of 3.4 liters, six cylinders and 85 SAE hp. The first edition rode leaf springs and live axles, and only 298 units were made to order.

Depending on the wheelbase, the current model (J15) is 4.51 meters to 4.78 meters long and can take up to 1934 liters of luggage on board. The three-door has a regular capacity of 381 liters and the five-door 621 liters. If the car is configured as a seven-seater, only 104 liters remain behind the third row of seats. Toyota does not offer petrol engines at all in Germany, while both R4 and V6 engines are on sale in other markets. The only unit in this country is a four-cylinder diesel that pulls out 177 hp from a displacement of 2.8 liters. The drive can be coupled to the regular 6-speed manual switch or an automatic with just as many stages. According to the standard, the diesel consumes 7.2 liters of fuel, emits 190 grams of CO2 per kilometer, accelerates the car to 100 km/h in 12.1 seconds and ensures a top speed of 175 km/h.

If you are looking for the towing capacity for a Toyota Land Cruiser car then we're here to help. The towing capacity is a term used to describe the maximum weight of a trailer a Toyota Land Cruiser car can tow. There may be certain models of Toyota Land Cruiser car that cannot be used to tow a trailer. These will be highlighted with 'N KG' in the below list of Toyota Land Cruiser towing weights.

For those models of Toyota Land Cruiser where towing is allowed, we have detailed the Toyota Land Cruiser towing capacity for a braked trailer (this is when the trailer being towed has its own breaking system). To ensure you are both safe and legal it is really important that you check the Toyota Land Cruiser towing weight limit for the car.

As well as providing the braked towing capacity for your Toyota Land Cruiser, where data is available we also have also listed the Toyota Land Cruiser's unbraked towing capacity.

Here is a full list of the Unbraked and Braked Towing Capacity for the Toyota Land Cruiser. If you cannot find the Toyota Land Cruiser you are looking for please drop us a email and we will add this to the list.
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the towing weights provided on this website are accurate, we always recommend checking the vehicle log book (V5) for the official towing capacity. We accept no responsibility if the towing weights provided on this website are incorrect.

The first car at the North Pole
In 2001, Toyota celebrated the Land Cruiser's 50th birthday with a special model with automatic air conditioning, roof rails, full leather interior and polished alloy wheels - further indications that the off-roader had long since outgrown its traditional field of activity.

Nevertheless, the Japanese car remained true to itself with its new edition, shown at the 2002 Paris Motor Show. The new vehicle hadn't lost any of its off-road characteristics, and Toyota had improved its driving characteristics for the road again. When it came to interior comfort, the manufacturer now spoke of a "level of premium sedans". At the same time, the J9, although heavily upgraded, was one of the first vehicles to reach the North Pole alongside the Toyota Hilux.

But the production version also meant a significant further development. For the first time, it offered a height-adjustable chassis with variable dampers. Toyota scaled new heights when it came to engine performance: a newly developed V8 petrol engine with a displacement of 4.6 liters produced 235 hp, and the manufacturer brought the “most powerful diesel engine on the German off-road vehicle market” – 204 hp and 430 Newton meters.
