We'll have to wait and see.

I totally agree that a petrol engined version would be worse again.
Whilst I agree with you, knowing nothing about land cruisers I looked up their (and others) specs. They have a payload of the following.

Toyota HiLux 925kg
Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series 610kg
Toyota Prado 545kg
Toyota 70 Series Payload is, at its lowest, 785kg for the Workmate Wagon and tops out at 1235kg in the single-cab GX.

With these numbers, and their fuel consumption I don't understand how those would be much better? Like I said before, I think people tend to just strap the kitchen sink to these things and ignore the weight limitations.

Could someone please enlighten, how all this, plus 140L over the stock fuel tank weighs less than 610kg?
