Although it is more or less endowed with some luxurious attributes, the Toyota Land Cruiser (commonly known as the Land Cruiser or Land Cruiser in China) is still regarded by many riders as a "strong and durable" vehicle in the field of hardcore SUVs, and can even be used in harsh environments. Therefore, a new generation of Toyota's Land Cruiser Arctic Truck AT35 model built for the polar environment has been released.
There is no significant upgrade to the exterior part of the new car, and the large-size tires are the main visual changes
The wheel headers that match the tires increase the width of the body
The side of the body is equipped with Arctic Trucks body pullers
First of all, on a visual level, the new generation of Land Cruiser Arctic Truck AT35 body is significantly more burly, mainly related to its upgrade of tires with an outer diameter of 35 inches. At the same time, the tires were paired with 17-inch rims and widened body wheels, and Arctic Trucks enhanced the corrosion protection of the body.
In addition, the car has upgraded the front and rear suspension shock absorbers and damping springs, coupled with the larger outer diameter tires, so that the car's ground clearance has been increased to 260 mm -270 mm, compared to the regular version of the new generation Land Cruiser increased by 40 mm, and the approach angle and departure angle are increased by 5 degrees, about 37 degrees and 30 degrees, respectively. It is reported that the car can optionally be equipped with a tire filling and deflation system and a winch with a drag capacity of 5.6 tons.
Arctic Trucks trademark
Arctic Trucks is a tuning company from Iceland that has ties to Toyota. In Iceland, the complex terrain has led to locals having to change their vehicles with larger tires and set lower tire pressures on snow. Practical solutions began to emerge as early as the mid-1980s.
Isuzu D-MAX AT35
Prado AT44
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Ford F-150 AT44
In 1990, Icelandic Toyota set up its own secondary design division, called Toyota Aukahlutir. The division grew rapidly, and soon 20%-70% of the local Toyota Hilux, Land cruiser and 4Runner were redesigned before being delivered to the customer. In 1996, the division became Arctic Trucks. In 2005, Arctic Trucks spun off from Toyota Iceland and began to work more with other brands, such as the Isuzu D-MAX AT35 and Ford F-150 AT44, which we previously reported. Models created by Arctic Trucks are mostly named with the letter "AT", which stands for Arctic Trucks, and the number on the back is the outer diameter of the tire.
