This specialized and even more off-road-oriented version of the Toyota Land Cruiser, available since July 21st, is divided into three trim levels: T2, Ultimate, and Ultimate+. All share a common base that includes 18-inch Dakar Evo wheels and BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO3 tires, as well as a set of ARB underbody protection plates made of 3-millimeter-thick steel that safeguard the oil pan, radiator, differential, and transfer case. These plates are laser-cut and bolted directly to the chassis, ensuring effective protection on challenging terrain.
Features of the Ultimate and Ultimate+ finishes
The Ultimate trim, the most popular according to Kobe Motor (the official Madrid dealership responsible for the modifications), includes a Safari snorkel with a high-mounted, watertight intake that reduces dust and water ingress, and whose Air Ram intake can increase airflow by up to 70% compared to the original system. It also features a homologated matte black Bullface front bumper and an ARB winch with a 12.000-pound (5.443-kilogram) capacity, equipped with an 11-millimeter diameter, 24-meter long synthetic cable. The system is controlled by a switch integrated into the dashboard. The suspension is an Old Man Emu MT64 with 64-millimeter diameter springs, offering six adjustable height positions, designed for intensive off-road use and excellent heat dissipation.
The Ultimate+ trim level takes things up a notch with the Old Man Emu BP-51 internal bypass suspension , which allows independent adjustment of compression and rebound damping to suit any terrain. It includes all the recovery equipment of the Ultimate trim and is priced at €79.900. The entry-level T2 trim maintains the comfort of the original model but adds protective elements and upgraded wheels, although Kobe Motor has not released its exact price due to discrepancies between sources (figures between €73.500 and €74.500 have been mentioned, so it is recommended to check directly with the dealership).
