Is it true that you can’t buy a Land Cruiser 300?
To put it simply, it is currently very difficult to order a new Land Cruiser 300.
By January 2022, the delivery time had reached an unprecedented four-year wait, and orders were temporarily suspended in July of the same year. Although some dealers subsequently resumed accepting orders on a limited basis, delivery times remain long and the car remains difficult to obtain.
The following information is currently attached to Toyota’s official website:
[To customers considering the Land Cruiser 300]
Apology regarding suspension of ordersThank you for considering our vehicle.
The Land Cruiser 300 has been extremely well-received not only in Japan but also around the world ,
and we are currently suspending orders
as we have received orders far exceeding our production capacity .We will inform you again regarding the resumption of orders, taking into consideration the future production situation, etc.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused, and
thank you for your understanding.*The above is an outlook as of July 1, 2022. Please note that this may change depending on future production conditions.
It’s been almost four years since the Land Cruiser 300 was released, but it seems there’s still a three-year lead time.
The Land Cruiser 250 will be released at the end of this year, so I’m sure many people will be buying this one first.
Even so, since it’s so popular, it’s the manufacturer’s responsibility to improve production and ensure it can be supplied to consumers at a consistent price.— Sauna (@Saunaman10) February 26, 2024
Then… I’ll head back east from Shiratori to do some work ☺️
By the way… Toyota’s stupid!! ️
Apparently the delivery date for the Land Cruiser 300 is still undecided 😢
They’ve refunded my application fee… and contacted me with an apology…— honuhonu (@honuhonu5) January 31, 2024
The delivery time for the globally popular Land Cruiser 300 was around 2 to 2.5 years, but now it will be indefinitely undetermined 🙂

Why the delivery time for the Land Cruiser 300 is getting longer
There are three main reasons why the delivery time for the Land Cruiser 300 is getting longer.
- Impact of the global semiconductor shortage: In recent years, the global semiconductor shortage has hit the automotive industry hard. The Land Cruiser 300 is no exception, with parts procurement disrupted and production delayed.
- Supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19: The spread of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on supply chains around the world, making it difficult to procure and transport parts, which has affected production of the Land Cruiser 300.
- The Land Cruiser 300 is extremely popular: The Land Cruiser 300 is extremely popular around the world due to its high driving performance, comfort, and brand power. Orders are coming in not only from within Japan but also from overseas, and production is unable to keep up with demand.
Due to a combination of these factors, delivery times for the Land Cruiser 300 are getting longer and longer.
Advice for those considering purchasing a Land Cruiser 300
If you are considering purchasing a Land Cruiser 300, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Delivery dates are estimates only: The delivery dates given by the dealer are estimates only. Delivery dates may vary depending on production and transportation conditions.

About the Toyota Land Cruiser 300
Why is the Land Cruiser 300 so popular? Let’s take a look at its appeal.
- Overwhelming off-road capability: The Land Cruiser 300 has full-scale off-road capabilities that allow it to traverse any road in the world.
- Superior Comfort: Luxurious interior and the latest technology ensure a comfortable drive.
- High reliability and durability: The Land Cruiser has proven its reliability and durability over the years around the world.
- Brand power: The Land Cruiser is one of the most famous SUVs in the world and its brand power is immense.
This marks the first full model change in 13 years, and of course, the new car is based on the newly developed “GA-F platform” known as ” TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), ” which was also used in the new Prius launched on December 9, 2015. The adoption of a ladder frame allows for a larger interior space than the previous model. The newly developed platform achieves high aerodynamic performance, resulting in a lower center of gravity and increased body rigidity, making it a significant improvement over the previous model. The car is 200kg lighter . The lower center of gravity was achieved by moving the engine 20mm lower and 70mm further back, and the shorter length of the engine, replacing the previous V8 , allowed for a lower center of gravity. The weight distribution is 53.5:46.5, improving the front-heavy behavior of the 200 series.
The exterior design will of course retain the same concept, but will be more modern and luxurious. It will feature triple LED headlights, DRL (Daytime Running Light) “Signature Lamps”, and LED sequential turn signals (flowing blinkers) on the front and rear. The body size is almost the same as the 200 series, with a total length of 4,990 mm, a total width of 1,980 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,850 mm, with an approach angle of 32 degrees and a departure angle of 24 degrees.

12.3-inch infotainment display
It comes equipped with a 12.3-inch wide touchscreen T-Connect SD navigation system and a JBL premium sound system (12 speakers) .
Equipped with electric parking brake and auto brake hold function
It has an electric parking brake (with hold function).The electric parking brake and auto brake hold, which are now almost always installed in new models, and the function that keeps the car stopped even when you release the brake when it is stopped, are features that you would want to have if you were buying a new car, so it’s nice that they come as standard equipment.
Fingerprint authentication start switch (a Toyota first)
The engine start switch is equipped with a fingerprint authentication start switch (a first for Toyota) . The Land Cruiser is a vehicle that is traded at high prices overseas, so the probability of theft is very high. However, this time, by equipping the Land Cruiser with a fingerprint authentication engine start function, the risk of theft can be prevented.
Toyota’s only SUV model with seven-seater seating
The 3.5L V6 engine model is available in a seven-seater configuration, making it the only Toyota SUV model with three rows of seats for seven people.
The rear second seat can be folded down in a 4:2:4 split.
It is possible to carry four people by folding down only the middle rear seat and loading long items (such as skis or snowboards) . There are very few vehicles that allow this seating arrangement, so this is a recommended model for those who want to use it in this way. The rear seats can also be folded down to create a flat surface. Furthermore, there is a lever in the luggage compartment that allows you to fold down the rear seats.
The rear third seat uses a foldable seat
In the previous model, the third-row seats were flip-up type, but in the new model they are retractable and can be folded completely flat. They can also be folded electrically (except for the AX grade).
Panoramic View Monitor is standard equipment on all vehicles
The Panoramic View Monitor is standard equipment on all vehicles. Although it is almost the same size as the previous model, with a total length of 4,990 mm, a total width of 1,980 mm, a total height of 1,880 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,850 mm, it is a fairly large car in Japan, so being able to look down from above to help with parking is almost essential, and it is appreciated that it is standard equipment on all vehicles.
The latest safety system “Toyota Safety Sense” is standard equipment on all vehicles
Toyota Safety Sense has been improved and fine-tuned to further enhance safety technology ( including nighttime pedestrian detection and a leading vehicle departure notification function ). The previous name “Toyota Safety Sense P/C” has been unified as “Toyota Safety Sense” to become a collision avoidance support package. Intelligent clearance sonar is standard equipment. The vehicle is now eligible for the “Safety Support Car S (Wide)” certification.
Main features of the new Land Cruiser 300’s second-generation Toyota Safety Sense
The second-generation Toyota Safety Sense is standard on all vehicles. It uses laser radar and cameras to ensure excellent recognition performance and reliability, and also includes collision avoidance support PCS, LDA, and AHB in one package. It ensures collision avoidance support and damage mitigation performance even at high speeds.
The system supports the latest “Pre-Collision Safety” technology, including detection at intersections, low-speed acceleration suppression, and emergency steering assistance. The PCS (Pre-Collision Safety) with pedestrian detection uses millimeter-wave radar and a camera to detect vehicles and pedestrians ahead, providing warnings, brake assist, and automatic braking to help avoid collisions and mitigate damage. The automatic braking system operates at speeds between 10 and 80 km/h for pedestrians. For example, if the speed difference between the vehicle and the pedestrian is 30 km/h, the vehicle will slow down by approximately 30 km/h to help avoid a collision. It also operates at a wide speed range for vehicles, from 10 km/h to the maximum speed. For example, if the vehicle is traveling at 40 km/h toward a stopped vehicle, the vehicle will slow down by approximately 40 km/h. Additional features include low-speed acceleration suppression, detection of oncoming vehicles and pedestrians when turning right at an intersection, and emergency steering assistance.
- A low-speed acceleration suppression function that detects pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles directly in front of the vehicle at low speeds and suppresses acceleration.
- It can also detect oncoming vehicles going straight when turning right at an intersection, as well as pedestrians crossing from the opposite direction when turning right or left.
- Emergency steering avoidance support function that assists steering when the driver makes an evasive maneuver in an emergency.
The Road Sign Assist (RSA) has expanded its detection targets, and now also reads major roadside traffic signs such as “speed limit,” “stop sign,” “no entry,” and “no crossing” and displays them on the instrument panel.
The Lane Departure Alert (LDA) camera recognizes the white and yellow lines in the driving lane, and if it detects the possibility of lane departure, it alerts the driver with a buzzer and a visual display, helping to avoid collisions caused by lane departure.
The Automatic High Beam (AHB) camera detects the headlights of oncoming vehicles or the taillights of vehicles ahead and automatically switches between high and low beams, reducing glare for drivers of other vehicles and helping to ensure forward visibility at night.
Radar Cruise Control : This vehicle employs radar cruise control, which uses millimeter-wave radar to detect the distance between vehicles and the vehicle ahead, and adjusts its speed to match the speed of the vehicle ahead within a set speed range, allowing it to maintain a certain distance while following. Millimeter-wave radar and a camera detect lane changes by the vehicle ahead, allowing for smoother acceleration and deceleration control. Toyota aims for the ultimate goal of a mobility society: zero traffic fatalities and injuries. Toyota is researching and developing various safety equipment and systems based on its “Integrated Safety Concept,” striving to “develop safer vehicles and technologies,” and strengthening a wide range of traffic safety initiatives through “participation in traffic environment improvement” and “traffic safety awareness activities for people.”
Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) When driving on a highway or expressway, turning on the Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) switch while the radar cruise control is activated will provide steering assistance necessary to maintain the lane. A curve speed suppression function has been added. Driver Abnormality Response System A function has been added that detects driver abnormalities and contributes to life-saving rescue.
Curve speed control function When radar cruise control is activated, speed control begins when the steering wheel is first turned.
Leading vehicle departure notification function If you are stopped behind a vehicle in front of you at a traffic light or in a traffic jam and do not notice the vehicle in front of you starting to move, a buzzer will sound and a message will appear on the display to notify you.
Toyota introduces the second-generation Toyota Safety Sense in 2018. Comparison and changes.
New Land Cruiser 300 active safety equipment
Intelligent Clearance Sonar (standard equipment on all vehicles) is a system that helps mitigate collisions caused by accidentally pressing the accelerator or pressing it too hard, thereby reducing damage. The “Clearance Sonar” displays and sounds a buzzer when approaching stationary objects when parking, and now has an added function to mitigate contact with stationary objects. The sonar can also accurately detect glass at convenience stores and other locations. When driving at low speeds (below 15km/h), if a stationary object is detected in the vehicle’s direction of travel, the hybrid system output is reduced, and if the distance becomes even shorter, the brakes are automatically applied.
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) uses radar to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes. If a vehicle enters your blind spot, an LED indicator mounted on the door mirror will light up.
Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake: Detects blind spots when reversing and alerts the driver. If there is a risk of collision, the system automatically applies the brakes to help mitigate damage from a collision with an approaching vehicle.
Emergency brake signal (hazard lights flashing type) When you apply the brakes suddenly, the hazard lights will automatically flash.
Digital inner mirror: Images from a camera attached to the rear of the vehicle are displayed on the rearview mirror. It also has a recording function.
Remote Start (App) A new optional service that allows you to start the engine and air conditioning from the MyTOYOTA app.
Intelligent Parking Assist 2 (with collision warning function, back guide monitor function, and voice guidance function)
About the Toyota Display Audio for the new Land Cruiser 300
The car is equipped with a display audio system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It comes standard with a DCM in-car communication device. The in-car navigation function, the T-Connect Navigation Kit, is also available as an option.

A word from the editorial department
The biggest appeal of the Land Cruiser 300 is its authentic SUV performance. While all current Toyota vehicles are excellent and packed with features, I personally feel that this is a great value car packed with Toyota’s latest technology. This car combines the best equipment, safety, and off-road performance of any current Toyota vehicle, making it truly one of a kind. If you were looking for a foreign car with similar specifications and class, it would be hard to find one at this price. Of course, it’s not cheap, but it’s an appealing car that makes you want to drive it at least once.
