Hey guys, if you are looking for the battery on the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser and cannot find it under the hood, you are not alone. That was the first place I looked too, and I was pretty confused at first. On the new Land Cruiser, the battery is actually located in the rear of the vehicle, not under the hood like most people would expect. This is due to the hybrid components under the hood. I figured I would make this quick post to help save someone else the time and confusion. If you came here looking for the proper jumping points under the hood, check out my other forum here --> Where to Jump a 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Below are the pictures showing where the battery is located.

I've had this rooftop tent from Sterling Adventure Co on my Land Cruiser 250 for 4 ish months now. And have spent a few nights in it. But am really impressed.
With my Long Travel build I want to stay as light as possible. Which this checked that box. It's the world's lightest fully aluminum rooftop tent (just 96lbs).
It's super low profile which is the clean look I like, but has a super comfy mattress still and you can keep light bedding or the optional insulation inside.

Here's some photos of how it looks on the Oregon Coast.
