Body Structure
Body StructureLightweight and Highly Rigid Body
High Strength Sheet Steel
^ High strength sheet steel is provided on the '08 Land Cruiser in an effort to reduce the vehicle weight while increasing the rigidity.
^ High strength sheet steel with a body shell mass ratio of 33% is used in the pillar reinforcements, floor reinforcements and rocker members.
Frame
On the '08 Land Cruiser, a high-strength, high-rigidity, axial-compression collision safety frame structure is used. This frame structure helps minimize frame buckling as much as possible, and considerably reduces the amount of offset between the load application point and the frame buckling point at the point a collision occurs.
