01 / Verdict

Everest or Land Cruiser 300: who leads on what

Each line is the maker’s top figure for each model across its configurations. A lead is on that best configuration, so it depends on cab, bed, engine, axle and options; the closest matching trucks are compared below. Only a maker’s own figure decides a lead.

Towing and GCWR: The Everest tows 3,500 kg, the Land Cruiser 300 3,500 kg. They tie on their best configuration.
Payload and GVWR: Only the Everest has a payload figure in our data: it carries 855 kg of payload. The Land Cruiser 300 has none, so no leader is named.
Ground clearance and angles: The Everest has 255 mm of ground clearance, the Land Cruiser 300 ≈245 mm. The Everest leads by 10 mm on its best configuration. At the best configuration: approach angle Everest 32.0°, Land Cruiser 300 ≈31.0°; breakover angle Everest 23.9°, Land Cruiser 300 not in our data; departure angle Everest 26.8°, Land Cruiser 300 ≈25.0°.
Dimensions: Length: Everest 4914 mm, Land Cruiser 300 ≈4980–5015 mm; width: Everest 1923–1954 mm, Land Cruiser 300 ≈1980–2000 mm; height: Everest 1876–1904 mm, Land Cruiser 300 ≈1945–1955 mm; wheelbase: Everest 2900 mm, Land Cruiser 300 ≈2850 mm.
Curb weight: Curb weight: Everest 2,245–2,480 kg, Land Cruiser 300 ≈2,480–2,715 kg.
Tires: Factory tire sizes. Everest: not in our data. Land Cruiser 300: 245/75R17, 265/65R18, 265/55R20.
Fuel tank: Fuel tank: Everest 80 L, Land Cruiser 300 98–110 L.

02 / Side by side

Every figure, group by group

Each cell is the range across the maker’s 2026 configurations of that model, with the small number of the document it comes from. A figure that is an estimate, an owners’ report or a third-party figure wears its mark and never decides a lead; a group where one model has no maker figure says so.
