Land Cruiser Utility Commercial launched
Toyota has added a two-seat, cargo-carrying model to the Land Cruiser range. Named Utility Commercial, it’s being offered in both short- and long-wheelbase guises.
The load area – which is separated from the cab by a metal bulkhead with a mesh upper section – features full-width non-slip flooring. Body-coloured panels are fitted instead of rear windows for enhanced practicality and security.
With no rear seats, the Utility Commercial SWB can take a payload of up to 593 kg (1,307 lbs) in a space that’s able to accommodate 1,574 litres. The equivalent figures for the LWB version are 756 kg (1,667 lbs) and 2,216 litres. Maximum towing capacity is 3,000 kg (6,614 lbs) gross, provided the trailer is braked.
17” steel wheels and cloth upholstery clearly indicate that this is a working vehicle. However, the specification isn’t entirely lacking, because automatic headlights, tyre pressure warning, smart entry, Bluetooth, cruise control and manual air conditioning all come as standard. Driving aids include Active Traction Control, Vehicle Stability Control and Trailer Sway Control.
Like every other Land Cruiser currently sold in the UK, power is supplied by a 2.8 litre D-4D turbocharged diesel engine.
This four-cylinder unit is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox and a permanent four-wheel drive system. Output is rated at 175 bhp (130 kW/ 176 PS), while the peak torque figures are 420 Nm (309 lb/ft) and 450 Nm (331 lb/ft) for the SWB and LWB respectively.
Land Cruiser Utility Commercial deliveries are due to begin in July. Prices for the SWB start at £27,546 and the LWB costs from £28,509 (both amounts exclude VAT).
