Davenport’s American Power Systems unveils Toyota Land Cruiser 300 dual alternator bracket kit
US-based power solutions manufacturer American Power Systems, Inc. (APS) has developed a dual alternator bracket kit for model years 2022 and newer Toyota Land Cruiser 300 vehicles with a 3.5L twin turbo petrol (gas) engine. APS debuted the latest product in its LC300 series at Eurosatory 2024, a global defence and security trade show held June 17-21 in Paris.
The new dual alternator bracket kit allows users to add additional power to the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 with minimal changes to the OE under-the-hood configuration. Specifically, end users can add APS’ 12-, 24-, or 48-volt high output alternators for 12-12, 12-24, or 12-48 secondary system configurations.
Launched by Toyota Motor Corporation in August 2021, the all-terrain Land Cruiser 300 Series is a complete redesign of the outgoing 200 Series. The Toyota Land Cruiser platform has a reputation for reliability, durability, and off-road performance, making it a popular transportation choice in rugged environments.
More power to stay safe & connected in the field
APS has a long history of developing rugged high-output OE replacement alternators for multiple Toyota platforms, including for previous Land Cruiser series, Hilux, Fortuner, Tacoma, Tundra, Hi Ace and Regius, among others.
“As security or defense vehicles, various Toyota platforms are often fitted with armor and/or special equipment such as anti-IED jammers, communication systems, satellite equipment, cooling systems and more that allows end-users to stay connected, collect information and even perform silent watch activities,” explained APS President & CEO Amy Lank. “However, all this equipment adds to the vehicle’s weight and creates current draw that OEM systems cannot meet. Having this additional power available via a dual alternator set-up makes the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 vehicles mission-ready while helping end-users to stay safe in the field.”
In late 2022 APS launched its Toyota Land Cruiser 300 product line with 255- and 360-amp HPI alternators for both 3.3L diesel and 3.5L gas (petrol) engines. APS also offers high-idle kits for the 3.3L diesel and 3.5L gas engines.
Tested to withstand the harshest environments to deliver stable, dependable power
To ensure APS products meet its threshold for superior quality and performance, all new products — including those for the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 — undergo a rigorous engineering process and testing to industry standards for durability. With over 2,000 vehicles currently in the field and 18,000 test miles logged at the Nevada Automotive Test Center, our high output alternators withstand the harshest environments to deliver stable, dependable power.
“There is a reason why APS is globally trusted,” Lank said. “We have a worldwide reputation for quality, innovation, and expertise. When our products hit the market, we feel confident in their performance because of how meticulous we are behind the scenes during their development.”
