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...

A few weeks ago I drove my LC250 from St George UT to Anaheim CA area. Almost 400 miles. And for anyone who's driven that stretch know's it has a good amount flat spots, uphill and downhill. On the way there I averaged 17.6-18mpg. On stock tires/suspension. Which surprised me. I thought it would be a little bit better. Although I may have had the wind pushing against me. Then 5 weeks later when I drove the Land Cruiser back after it had been lifted on Long Travel (but still on stock tires) it averaged 20-21MPG's. (Could be the wind again this time helping push me forward).

What MPG's has everyone else been getting? Make sure to list your suspension + wheel/tire size mods for reference. Thanks!
