New Toyota Land Cruiser receives rugged Arctic Trucks treatment
The vehicle features a 40mm raised ride height over the standard car, an extended wheelbase and lightweight forged alloy wheels.
Arctic Trucks has unveiled a rough and ready version of Toyota’s latest Land Cruiser.
The Icelandic specialist division of Toyota has taken the latest model of the firm’s off-roader and beefed up key areas.
Code named the Land Cruiser 250 or Prado AT37 in other markets, the car has been designed to take on some of the world’s harshest environments.
Its exterior features a raised ride height of 40mm over the standard car, an extended wheelbase, two-way adjustable performance suspension and lightweight forged alloy wheels.
Other upgrades include 37-inch tyres for maximum traction, flared wheel arches, rubberised side steps and a multifunction receiver hitch – enabling quick and easy fitment of winches and towballs.
Peter Smith, Arctic Trucks managing director, said: “This collaboration of teams across the Arctic Trucks group has resulted in a vehicle that is truly fit for use in any market. Combining our three decades of off-road expertise with technology and innovation from the UK supply chain has achieved outstanding results and reaffirms our ongoing commitment to delivering complete vehicle solutions for both work and play.”
Prices for the standard Land Cruiser start at £74,995, though Arctic Trucks has not revealed how much this new version will cost.
The firm has said that prices and specifications will differ depending on the region, but the changes between different markets have not been revealed yet.
