The Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial is aimed at the business side of things. Here’s all you need to know about this unique conversion.
The Prado has been in huge demand since its debut in 2024 and Toyota is well aware. The Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial is a new model from the Toyota Professional family and has been adapted for business use.
The Land Cruiser Commercial is available in just one derivative: a 5-door long-wheelbase model and Toyota claims up to 2 000 litres of load capacity. Impressively, the vehicle is a conversion unit, with the work undertaken by Toyota’s production facility in the United Kingdom.
The process appears fairly straightforward with the rear seats being removed, insertion of interior steel panels as well as a full-heigh metal bulkhead. A hard-wearing edge-to-edge floor tray has been installed in the load bay. The numbers make for practical reading.
It measures 1 090 mm high, 1 685 mm long and a maximum 1 286 mm wide, giving a cargo capacity (VDA measurement) of up to 2 000 litres. The tow rating remains the same at 3.5 tons. In terms of features, Toyota claims this new Land Cruiser Commercial offers more standard equipment and features than the outgoing model and we can see that most of the Prado passenger’s features have shifted across, topped off by the Toyota Safety Sense package.
Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats and steering wheel, a power back door with opening window hatch, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, electronic parking brake and automatic dual-zone air conditioning. The multimedia system includes a 9-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Under the bonnet is the standard 2.8-litre turbocharged diesel engine, paired to an 8-speed auto gearbox. The vehicle retains its all-wheel drive with selectable drive modes and there’s 150 kW and 500 Nm on tap. Toyota Europe confirms this powertrain will be enhanced in the near future with 48V hybrid technology.
Will the Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial come to South Africa?
Officially Toyota Europe says the Land Cruiser Commercial will be going on sale in the United Kingdom from the 1st August 2025, but at this stage it is highly unlikely that South Africa will receive this model. Do you think there’s a place for it?
