Land Cruiser 250 - Best in class towing? Vs similar SUVS

@Kai__Larsen · 2025-09-26T04:45:50+00:00

I haven't considered an ECU tune for my LC250. But I know they are starting to be released. And I know the NA V6 platform owners raved about them being best dollar for performance mod they did. What's out there for the 250 series? And has anyone done it yet? I'm curious how well it does, how noticeable performance increases, and if there's any issues etc... This is my first brand new vehicle. And I've heard ECU tunes can be a cause for Toyota to deny powertrain warranty/replacement. So far I've found 2 options but neither seems to have dyne results or good info. -Yotawerx (found on the Marlin Crawler site but can't find it on their own page) https://www.marlincrawler.com/product/yotawerx-ecu-tune-for-2024-land-cruiser-250 -Overland Tailor Tunes (no dyne results/little info) https://overlandtailor.com/services-2-2/ Share your thoughts below!

Toyota really nailed it with the Land Cruiser 250 — especially if you care about towing in an off-road SUV of this class. It can tow up to 6,000 pounds, putting it at the top of its class. Here's a comparison with the competition:

2025 4Runner I-force Max Hybrid (6th Gen): Also rated at 6,000 lbs. Non Hybrid is 5,000lbs
Ford Bronco: Maxes out at 3,500 lbs
Jeep Wrangler (standard): Just 2,000 lbs
Wrangler 4xe: Up to 3,500 lbs
Wrangler Rubicon / Rubicon X: Tops out at 5,000 lbs

Who tows with their Land Cruiser 250? I have yet to try towing with mine.
