Off road challenge: Toyota Land Cruiser vs Toyota Hilux

December 09, 2021 by

Toyota has a pretty decent reputation when it comes to tough off-roaders. But which one performs best on the rough stuff out of the Land Cruiser and Hilux?

Let’s kick off by taking a look at the Toyota Land Cruiser. We have the base spec commercial version and it has a 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine with 204hp and 420Nm of torque. There’s a six-speed manual gearbox with low-range mode as well as a centre locking differential.

Moving onto the Toyota Hilux now, it has the same 2.8-litre diesel engine as the Land Cruiser and the same 204hp. It does have more torque though at 500Nm. The Hilux has an automatic gearbox, an automatic centre locking differential and a rear locking differential.

So which of these two hardcore off-roaders will come out on top? You’ll have to watch the video to find out.
