Toyota has developed an additional layer of confidence and control for
owners who use their "King Off the Road" Land Cruiser 200 Series for towing.
The legendary Toyota Land Cruiser has now become the first vehicle in the Toyota range to adopt the added safety of
trailer sway control. The system - enabled by and integrated with the existing vehicle stability control technologies -
helps the driver in the event that a trailer starts to swing from side to side. It is designed to suppress swaying that
can be triggered by factors such as crosswinds, bumpy roads and sharp turns of the steering wheel. It detects trailer
sway based on information from the vehicle's yaw-rate sensor, acceleration sensor and steering sensor. If sway is
detected, the system uses deceleration control and yaw-moment control to suppress the effects.
It warns the driver via the slip indicator in the instrument cluster and alerts following drivers by illuminating the
stop lamps. The system operates seamlessly and does not require the addition of hardware or any change to the trailer.
Another safety enhancement for the Land Cruiser 200 Series is the addition of knee airbags for the driver and front
passenger in GX and volume-selling GXL model grades, bringing the total number of airbags to eight.
High-grade VX and Sahara have 10 SRS airbags, including rear-seat side airbags.
Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series models all attract a five-star ANCAP safety rating.

Further upgrades to Land Cruiser 200 Series include dark grey privacy glass for the rear-side, rear-quarter and
rear-windscreen glass on GXL models.
VX now has dusk-sensing headlamps while top-of-the-range Sahara gains dusk-sensing headlamps and digital (DAB)
radio.
LandCruiser 200 models are available with a choice of V8 engines - a 4.6-litre petrol or a 4.5-litre twin-turbo diesel

The petrol V8, with variable valve timing on both the inlet and exhaust ports, produces maximum power of 227kW at
5,500rpm and peak torque of 439Nm at 3,400rpm.
The twin-turbo common-rail diesel engine delivers maximum power output of 195kW and a thumping 650Nm of torque.
All LandCruiser 200 variants have a 93-litre main fuel tank and a 45-litre sub tank - a total of 138 litres.
Price increases with the latest updates have been limited to $1,500 across the range, starting with the five-seat
turbo-diesel GX at $78,990*. The eight-seat turbo-diesel GXL is $89,990* plus the unchanged $3,250* option of the
