What's my Towing Capacity?
The Toyota Land Cruiser supports a maximum braked towing capacity of 3,500kg. Few vehicles reach this rating, making the Landcruiser an ideal choice for those looking to haul large, heavy trailers and the even the largest caravans. To check the exact rating of your Land Cruiser, please check the VIN plate which is usually in one of the door frames or under the bonnet.
Which Towbar is best for my Land Cruiser?
The fixed flange towbar is a classic, versatile towing option that combines strength and practicality. Its design features a towball bolted to a mounting plate, allowing the use of a wide range of accessories such as bumper protectors, ball and pin towballs, and bolt-on cycle carriers that fit between the towball and flange. This makes it particularly popular among those who tow regularly or require flexibility for different towing setups. Durable and cost-effective, the fixed flange towbar is ideal for heavy-duty towing applications, though its more prominent design may slightly affect parking sensors.
The fixed swan neck towbar offers a sleek, modern alternative to the traditional flange design. Its single, curved structure integrates the towball and neck into one piece, allowing a more compact shape which is less likely to interfere with parking sensors. While it doesn’t support flange-mounted accessories, it is compatible with ALKO stabilisers without the need for an additional towball.
Will it need a bumper cut?
Bumper cuts for the Land Cruiser vary, with the swan neck requiring a small cut for the neck to come through the lower edge of the bumper, whilst the fixed flange requires a series of smaller cuts for the supports for the faceplate where it comes out from the factory mounting points. These are kept as small as possible, closely following the shape of the towbar for minimal impact on the vehicle’s appearance.
