What is the normal speed setting for Land Cruiser's speed knob?

Land Cruiser's speed knob is normally set to H4. Meaning of Land Cruiser's speed knob: The Land Cruiser's speed knob actually represents the Crawl Control mode, also known as the Low-Speed Cruise Driving Assist System. When this mode is selected, the vehicle can automatically traverse rough terrain at very slow speeds by controlling engine torque output, braking, and transmission systems. How to activate Crawl Control mode: Shift the vehicle into N gear, then select L4 (Low 4WD mode) using the 4WD mode selector knob; lock the vehicle's center differential, then shift to D gear; press the hill descent control button and release the brake; after the crawl system activates, use the "speed" knob to manually adjust the crawling speed.

As a veteran driver who commutes in a Land Cruiser, I think this issue depends on road conditions. During rush hour in the city, traffic is so congested that you can only crawl at 30-40 km/h. On elevated roads, it's smoother and you can reach 60-70 km/h, but you have to watch out for those small cars that change lanes recklessly. On long-distance highways, I usually drive around 110 km/h, which is the speed limit—the Land Cruiser is stable at this speed and doesn’t consume too much fuel. But honestly, this car isn’t fast in acceleration. The 3.5T engine has to haul over two tons of body weight, so I don’t even bother competing with sedans at traffic lights. My advice is not to drive too fast—the high center of gravity makes it prone to instability during emergency lane changes. Safety should always come first.

Last month I just drove the new Land Cruiser on National Highway 318 and was deeply impressed by its speed. On paved roads, I usually maintain a cruising speed of 90 km/h, where the V6 engine runs most quietly. When encountering unpaved roads, I immediately slow down to below 40 km/h, and the air suspension filters out most of the bumps. I remember trying to overtake at 120 km/h on the plateau section—the body was indeed very stable, but the fuel consumption instantly soared to 18L, which scared me into slowing down immediately. Don’t expect it to go too fast for daily commuting, after all, its positioning as an off-road vehicle is clear.

After driving the Land Cruiser for over three years, I've noticed a pattern: in the city, it mostly cruises at 30-50 mph, and its wide body makes parking in garages quite challenging. On the highway, I often use the cruise control set at 105 mph. At this speed range, the 10-speed transmission smoothly shifts into the highest gear, keeping the RPM below 2000, which is exceptionally fuel-efficient. Once, I tried pushing it to 140 mph on a desert plateau, but the steering started to feel floaty, and the tires wore unevenly. The mechanic said this vehicle isn't designed for high-speed driving. If you really need to go fast, it's advisable to switch to highway tires, as the factory AT tires produce thunder-like noise above 110 mph.
