Dear Frédéric,

Thank you for the list update. 

Ki day note, I will be driving another car tomorrow other than my usual Nissan Patrol which I have not driven offroad before. 

The car I will be driving is a Land Cruiser short wheel base, pls find attached picture of the car. 

Kindly let me know, should feel my drive   reconfiguration needs to be reshuffled.  

Thank you and regards,

Mohamad

Just to give u heads-up of this LC70, my personal fav 4x4.

  • Short and nimble than your Patrol so you don't need to plan things half a km ahead.
  • Ready for short unexpected change of plan/thinking - on the fly.
  • You will feel every dune - bump, bush, dimple and crest - loud and clear.
  • Absolutely NO creature comfort so you might have a sore back if Patrol cocoon cabin have spoiled you.
  • You will feel real meaning on 4x4 tomo how each wheel spins with raw power than electronic/computer advisory.

In short you might like it or hate it, depending on what you value the most. If its pre-2018 then its more crude as I heard after 2018 Toyota added tiny bit of comfort in these models. Pre-2012 was absolute bone-shaking models.

Thank you Gaurav for the appreciated "heads-up "

I look forward to experiencing the good👍 and bad 👎 points and deciding if the car is suitable for me or not for the future trips 🤔 

I will also take Volterin 75 SR in advance to take care of the back pain 😢 

Best regards,

Mohamad
