Gearbox Type: 8-Speed Direct Shift Automatic
Replacing the older 6-speed unit, the new 8-speed automatic offers a wider spread of ratios. The lower first gear improves crawling capability, while the taller eighth gear significantly reduces engine noise and fuel consumption during highway transit.
Drive Type: Full-Time 4WD with L4 (Low Range)
The Land Cruiser 250 features a permanent 4WD system with a Torsen limited-slip center differential. It includes a dedicated low-range transfer case (L4) and standard rear-locking differentials to ensure traction in mud, sand, or rock crawling.
