What does the Land Cruiser's tank turn mean?
1 Answers
Land Cruiser's tank turn refers to turning in place by locking the rear wheels during the turn, enabling the vehicle to make U-turns in relatively narrow spaces. This design proves highly practical in confined areas, eliminating the need for repeated reversing. The Toyota Land Cruiser is a mid-to-large SUV under FAW Toyota, jointly developed by Toyota Motor Corporation and the Calty Design Research Center. Taking the 2016 Land Cruiser 4.0L Automatic VX-R as an example, its powertrain is equipped with a 4.0L naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum power of 202kW and maximum torque of 385Nm. The engine block adopts an aluminum alloy structure with multi-point fuel injection, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
