Siri told me 200mm is 7.87inch so that’s the difference between the two vehicles. I guess I could have framed my conversion… Anyways I hope you have a great dayI have good news and bad news. The bad news is, your conversion math is wrong.![]()
I think he is referring to the extra 7.87" (200 mm) of additional water depth the Aussie version can withstand.I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, your conversion math is wrong.![]()
I just searched 700mm and this thread came up. How far can you submerge a cruiser? Dude posted a pic from a lift, but the number on it is ?00, not 250, so I'm not sure it's relevant.If you dig back in here you will see over and over that 70cm, 700mm, or just under 28" is the depth the hybrid can withstand. I just did a quick search of some overlanding sites and through the web and come up with the same. I cannot find 500mm mentioned anywhere.
500mm is only 19 inches, which is just over the mid-way point on my stock 265/70/18 tires, so I hope its 700mm! This really is not that much.
Isnt the battery at a location higher than the floor?700mm is the height to the flapper vents under the rear bumper sides.
For reference with the bumper installed it’s the height of the rear flat step portion measured at the side the flapper vent is just above that. If you flood that the rear floor is in danger of getting soaked, not the false floor but the body where the hybrid battery is mounted to. Probably kill the cooling fans for the battery first.
Mine is 29.5” after lift install.
As far as I can find 700mm is the LC200 wading depth also. It's amazing that a hybrid powered LC250 could have equal water fording capability to a non-hybrid LC200.I seem to recall 700mm for hybrid - 27".
The guys are amazing. I've been watching them for years. They are the original guys that used to run the 4WD magazine years ago.I don't have an hour and a half to waste. Is there a relevant time stamp?
This from Toyota of Australia, “V-Active technology features a 48-volt motor-generator system that assists engine performance and regenerates through deceleration.” Granted, AU gets the diesel, but is this not a similar mild hybrid system to what we get in the USA? I don’t know the answer, just asking. Thank youAussie LC's are not hybrid, so probably ok for deep water
That 4WD video, the 250 was photoshopped in all the scenes, they used A1 to cover the real Land Cruiser that was behind pushing the 79.
As remember from the Australian intro, they have both the “petrol” and the diesel to choose from. I am guessing it’s a diesel in the video but not 100% sure. Made sense since they were sharing fuel.This from Toyota of Australia, “V-Active technology features a 48-volt motor-generator system that assists engine performance and regenerates through deceleration.” Granted, AU gets the diesel, but is this not a similar mild hybrid system to what we get in the USA?

Nope, 2.8l diesel with 48v mild-hybrid only. Has same battery housing in rear as US and same elevated floor but smaller battery. Not sure why there might be higher fording depth in the Australian version.As remember from the Australian intro, they have both the “petrol” and the diesel to choose from.

We don’t get the diesel because the right politicians haven’t been gotten paid yet.
