Lighter Chassis, Similar Suspension Setup

Toyota says that the new Land Cruiser is 441 pounds lighter than the 200 series, and it has a lower center of gravity since the powertrain is pushed slightly further back and lower than before. The 300 series has the same overall length (194.9 inches), wheelbase (112.2 inches), and approach (32 degrees), departure (24 degrees), and breakover angles (21 degrees) as the 200-series truck. It continues to use unequal-length control arms up front and a live axle with trailing arms in the rear. Adaptive dampers are available and come standard on the ZX and GR Sport models.
