When it comes to creating the ultimate 4x4 van, three models vie for supremacy; the Land Rover Defender Hardtop, the INEOS Grenadier commercial and this contender, the Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial. This contender has long been the halo model for the Japanese maker's Professional range of light commercial vehicles, with the version we look at here based on the current J250-series Land Cruiser SUV that was launched in 2024. Unlike its predecessor, there's no three-door version - just a five-door long wheelbase body shape. But off-road prowess is deemed to match the Land Rover and INEOS competition. Let's take a closer look.
If the ending of taxation breaks on pick-ups wasn't enough to encourage country vets and builders to take a fresh look at 4x4 vans, then new segment contenders like this Toyota might be. A Land Cruiser Commercial will do pretty much everything a Defender or Grenadier commercial vehicle could do off-road, yet it'll be a more tarmac-friendly tool on the highway. If you are heading off piste, there's peace of mind here that no rival can truly match. Globally, the Land Cruiser model line has a stronger record for ruggedness and reliability than any competitor. All good reasons to take a close look at this ultimate Toyota SUV in its most sensible form.
