By 2002 the Land Cruiser was almost the same as its Lexus LX 470 counterpart, just with less leather and inferior suspension. Shoving a third row of seats into the back doesn’t do much for adult comfort, but children can fit f
The 1985 Land Cruiser saw an important milestone that would no doubt attract a new market. This model year saw the introduction of the 12H-T, a 4.0-liter turbocharged direct injection diesel engine, to the Land Cruiser’s options list. It produced 134 horsepower and 232 lb ft of tor
However, after spending quite some time looking into oneself, it is time for action. The terrain does not seem to be an issue for this Wrangler. Its aftermarket suspension system is showing that it is possible to get over a hill or elevated bump. In fact, it seems as if the coffee in the cup holder is still there and has not splashed any of the passeng
A stock Bronco Badlands model was even used in the National Off-Road Racing Association (NORRA) Mexican 1000 rally across the Baja Peninsula. It actually managed to finish 3rd in its group and Ford used this as a way to test the Broncos off-road capabilit
This Limited Edition Bronco named The First Edition is available with the same package as the Wildtrak, meaning it also gets the huge tires as well as the upgraded shocks and so on. However, the first edition also has an exclusive hood and graphics to indicate that this edition is more uni
Australia is famously known for its rugged terrains and amazingly diverse wildlife. The beautifully conserved country has a lot to offer for off-road fans. For desert-like areas to more wooded ones, there is a little bit of everything for outdoorsy people out th
Off the tarmac, however, is where the Montero truly shines. The suspension setup is truly remarkable, revealing why the Pajero Evo was able to survive the grueling Dakar Rally so effectively. Shortly before selling, Tyler installed new Bilstein shocks all around, which perfectly complement the coil-sprung solid rear axle (no leaf springs!) and Panhard bar setup. And the Cooper Discoverer Mud Terrains might be a bit loud in town but they’re worth the bit of noise once they leave the asph
I mentioned above that the Montero was actually quite well-apportioned for a 1990s suv game online Guide|https://Suvinsightzone.com/. The interior is comfortable, if a bit Spartan compared to today’s ventilated leather seats and panoramic sunroofs. It does have heated seats with adjustable lumbar support, though, as well as a perfectly adequate sunroof that I plan to never open even o
Unfortunately, the OEM timing belt and water pump kit Amazon shipped was for the wrong engine, so the mechanic installed cheap aftermarket parts rather than making a quick phone call—which means I’m banking on 20,000 miles before redoing the work myself, rather than the factory-recommended 40,000-mile inter
The globally known Rubicon Trail has destroyed an unimaginable amount of axles and suspensions. Over the years, the trail has seen a variety of trucks proving their real worth. It is quite normal, given the reputation of the Wrangler, that a Rubicon edition was released and produced years after ye
With updated tech in the form of comfort and convenience features and advancements in off-road usability and assistance modes, the Tacoma is almost unbeatable on any terrain. The new TRD Pro is the best Tacoma in Toyota’s lineup and features slight styling changes and some heavy duty off-road upgrades to help with exploration. Below are some of the best features of the Toyota Tacoma TRD
When it comes to interior features, there are also some unique additions over the standard version, such as the black leather seats with red accent stitching. Again, as you may expect, TRD logos are plastered all over the cabin and that also goes for the leather wrapped steering k
This new retro look is great, and for the first time in the history of the Bronco, a four-door version is available for improved space making it as functional as it is cool to look at. The front grille is very clearly a throwback to the old Bronco and still looks awesome on this new mo
The TRD logo engraved exhaust helps provide a great sound under acceleration and help elevate the car slightly in terms of status, although it may not have all that much of an effect on the performance of the TRD
But still, and I mean this in the best way possible, the Montero drives like a truck. The body-on-frame platform, the upright seating angle, the respectable-if-not-overwhelming V6 under the hood, and the Aisin four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive all constantly serve to remind me that I’m driving a truck with just a tiny bit of luxury thrown
The Tacoma TRD Pro actually has the same engine as other Tacoma models with a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 278 hp with transmission choices of both a six speed manual or six speed automatic. The TRD Pro should see no issue with climbing obstacles due to the 9.4-inch ground clearance a
