When Toyota recently announced that they will be releasing a 300 Series LandCruiser, the automotive world was taken aback. After all, it has been close to 20 years since the 200 series LandCruiser had its last major upgrade in 1996.
The 300 is not just an update of the body style; it’s everything you could ever want from a LandCruiser, and more. The 300 isn’t just bigger than the 200 Series; it’s better equipped for every scenario you could ever throw at it. Some of its new features include:
And that’s just for starters! Toyota has ensured that the 300 is greater than its predecessor in every possible way, and fans are very excited about what the 300 has to offer.
Just Autos are your local Toyota diesel tuning experts. We’ve worked on a wide range of Toyota UTEs, including the 79 Series, 100 Series and 200 Series Landcruiser models. Our team eagerly awaits the 300 Series, and we expect big things from Toyota’s new version of their fans’ flagship favourite.

Unlike the 200 Series, the 300 Series Landcruiser will not be available in the venerable 4.5-litre twin turbo diesel V8. Instead, the new Landcruiser will run on a 3.3-litre twin-turbo diesel V6, with higher power and torque figures compared to the V8 of its predecessor: the F33-FTV 3.3-litre turbo diesel V6 is said to provide 227kW and 687Nm – a healthy power increase over the 200 Series’ 200kW/650Nm.
Joining the diesel engine, a 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 could also be added to the line-up. Toyota intends to electrify their entire range of vehicles by 2025, so a hybrid option will also likely become available in Australia at a later point. And although the timing and release dates aren’t yet clear, many speculate that both the diesel and petrol variants will have battery assistance.
Like the 70, 100 and 200 Series before it, the 300 Series will likely be under-tuned straight from the factory – allowing for a lot of power upgrades to be implemented. This includes performance enhancement opportunities through ECU remapping, dyno tuning and performance part upgrades.
When it comes to power upgrades for Landcruisers, Just Autos are the experts. Apart from our performance package upgrades, we offer a range of other upgrades and replacements that can improve your vehicle’s performance – no matter the terrain.
We expect to be able to greatly enhance the performance of the Toyota 300 Series Landcruiser, based off our experience with the 200, 100 and 79 models. Aspiring owners of the 300 Series Landcruiser can expect power upgrades for the following:
In our experience, all the previous Landcruiser models we have worked on have seen phenomenal results after ECU remapping. Custom tuning your ECU can not only greatly enhance your driving experience, but also improve your vehicle’s performance and fuel economy.
Dyno tuning may also greatly enhance the power capabilities of the 300 Series Landcruiser. Dyno tuning uses a dynamometer, or dyno, which is used to measure the power, torque, and rotational speed of your engine. The dyno simulates different road conditions in a controlled environment which gives the operator the ability to monitor a range of different variables: from air/fuel ratios to inlet air temperatures.
Diesel engines are built to withstand higher levels of stress and make the ideal candidate for power upgrades at little expense. Carefully selected changes to later-model diesel engines can reap remarkable rewards. At Just Autos, we will have a power upgrade solution that will suit you and your vehicle.
Just Autos is based in Nambour, North of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.
