Now that we know when our Hyundai is coming to the end of its PCP in May of 2021, we are firming up the modifications that we would do to a UK bought Land Cruiser for towing in Europe. (a New Zealand bought new Land Cruiser as previously considered, would be £75000 plus all the importing costs of around £3000) we are thinking of upgrades over time of the following and I am inviting comments from the the forum about this:
1. LED lighting upgrade particularly to headlights.
2. Extending wing mirrors to see past a 8' caravan.
3. Upgraded head unit to include Apple Play and Android Auto.
4. Helpers air bags for towing with under hood compressor as per Australian Project 2000.
5. Polybush and spring upgrade for more road/towing bias.
6. Wood grain in doors, centre insert upgrade to a brushed aluminium.
7. Possible remap for engine and transmission for road/towing bias.
8. 13 pin trailer electrics.
9. Adaptive cruise control upgrade.
10. Synthetic oil in engine transmission and axles.
