Toyota LandCruiser: does it need to be worn in before towing?

Asked by Anne Harris

We are getting a new Toyota Landcruiser this coming December. We will be using it to tow our 23-foot caravan. Do we need to run the car in before using it to tow?

You could jump in and drive away, but I would recommend you take the time to run it in before putting it to work, particularly if you're planning on going on a long caravanning trip. Run it to the first service before doing any heavy towing with it.
