Less than 2 months since its global debut, the all-new 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser 300 has racked up quite a number of orders in Japan alone. Web CarTop reports a figure of 18,000 units and mentioned that it would’ve surpassed 20,000 units by now.
According to the report, the annual production quota for Japan is 5,000 units. Simple maths will tell you the waiting period has stretched to around 4 years. It’s also reported that orders are temporarily suspended in Japan until 1-August.
Meanwhile, Creative311 reported that Toyota is stopping buyers from reselling within one year of purchase. Customers in Japan are required to sign a pledge to confirm that the purchase is not for export or resale purposes.
While there have been reports stating that Toyota is preventing owners from flipping the Land Cruiser for a profit, the declaration form states, “Because there is a risk of violating foreign exchange law depending on the export destination, and it may lead to major problems that threaten global security.”
This suggests that the reasoning behind this restriction is due to concerns about the Land Cruiser 300 being used for terrorist activities.
To recap, the Land Cruiser 300 is powered by a 415 PS / 650 Nm 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol, and a 309 PS / 700 Nm 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 diesel. Both are mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Toyota says that some markets will a lower-spec naturally aspirated V6 engine with a 6-speed automatic option.
The Land Cruiser 300 Series’ frame is lighter and more rigid, which enables a 200-kg weight reduction, a lower centre of gravity, better weight distribution, and improved suspension structure.
It comes fitted with a Multi-Terrain Monitor system that displays obstacles that are obscured from the driver’s viewpoint, Multi-Terrain Select automatic driving mode selection function, and the latest Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) active safety package with additional functions.

Toyota Hilux 2.8 AT 4x4 vs Ford Ranger 2.0 AT 4x4! Which car do you recommend? Both prices only differ a bit. They have the same fuel tank capacity. Both got adaptive cruise control which can control the acceleration and brake. I need some advice in terms of their performance, engine and reliability. Any owners here can give me feedback?

Continental Cruiser. The one Porsche that you need it when you want to travel long distance with style and covering it at high speed concurrently. As mentioned before, the 911 Turbo S has 552bhp and 700Nm of torque. However, this comes at the expense that it is the most expensive 911 Turbo across the range and purist might find it a little too clinical for handling.
