Toyota’s revealed the Land Cruiser Commercial, and it’s a no-nonsense beast for the off-road purist. Rear seats? Gone. Side windows? Replaced with steel. What you get is all function, no fluff. ✅ 2.8L turbodiesel with up to 500 Nm of torque ✅ Full-time 4WD with low-range and locking center diff ✅ Up to 7,500 lbs towing capacity – bring the trailer, the toys, or the whole camp ✅ Payload up to 1,665 lbs and over 2,200 liters of flat cargo space (LWB) ✅ Ground clearance, 31° approach angle, and 700mm wading depth – it’s built to crawl This is the Cruiser reimagined for the trailhead, the job site, and the long haul to nowhere. Who else would daily this into the wilderness? Full cargo area with middle seat delete Still gets leather...

I've got a 1958 trim LC250 and recently did my first roadtrip (800 miles) and I'll be making the same trip again in a few days. I've seen lots of people in the Facebook groups asking if the 1958 is still comfortable to drive or if it's worth paying $10,000 more for the Land Cruiser trim. I can confidently say that I've found it very comfortable to drive and wouldn't shell out the extra money. The seats themselves feel good regardless of the cloth vs softer debate. I don't think the seat cover material determines the comfort of a vehicle as much anymore.The only thing I'd say I wish I had was the lumbar support on the higher trim. That can make a world of difference. I'm excited to keep driving it. So far it's been my favorite vehicle to drive though.

How do you compare it to other vehicles you've driven? Are there any differences between the 1958 & LC trim thatI'm missing out on you would argue make a big comfort difference?
