Curb weight: 2,130 kg vs ≈2,620 kg

01 / Verdict

Pajero Sport 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 Pajero Sport tows 3,100 kg, the Land Cruiser 300 3,500 kg. The Land Cruiser 300 leads by 400 kg on its best configuration.
Payload and GVWR: Only the Pajero Sport has a payload figure in our data: it carries 695 kg of payload. The Land Cruiser 300 has none, so no leader is named.
Ground clearance and angles: The Pajero Sport has 218 mm of ground clearance, the Land Cruiser 300 ≈245 mm. The Land Cruiser 300 leads by 27 mm on its best configuration. At the best configuration: approach angle Pajero Sport 30.0°, Land Cruiser 300 ≈31.0°; breakover angle Pajero Sport 23.1°, Land Cruiser 300 not in our data; departure angle Pajero Sport 24.2°, Land Cruiser 300 ≈25.0°.

02 / Side by side

Every figure, group by group

Each cell is the range across the maker’s 2025 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.

Each is its model’s lowest trim with four-wheel drive (four doors where the data splits by body), with the first engine and gearbox the maker lists for it.
A figure marked “with” needs that factory package; one without is the configuration as it comes.
