Upgrade your Toyota 100 Series LandCruiser with Clearview Extendable Mirrors
Clearview Accessories, a leader in crafting high-quality extendable towing mirrors, is dedicated to enhancing road safety and ensuring seamless integration with modern vehicle technologies. Recognising the importance of clear rear visibility for drivers towing large loads, Clearview provides a solution where standard mirrors fall short. Traditional mirrors often fail to offer the necessary field of view for safely towing caravans, trailers, or horse floats.
Towing a caravan, boat, camper trailer, or jet ski with your Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series? Before hitting the road, it’s important to ensure your 4WD is properly equipped to tow safely, confidently, and within its legal limits.
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or an extended touring adventure, towing with a 100 Series LandCruiser places additional demands on your vehicle — impacting braking performance, suspension, stability, handling, fuel economy, and rear visibility. A properly set up towing vehicle helps reduce wear on key components, improves towing control, and increases safety for both you and other road users.
Renowned for its comfort, durability, and strong towing capability, the Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series remains a favourite among caravan owners, touring enthusiasts, and off-road adventurers across Australia. Combining rugged capability with improved on-road comfort, the 100 Series is well suited to towing heavy loads over long distances. However, having the right towing accessories and upgrades can make all the difference when it comes to comfort, safety, and performance on the road.
Upgrade Your Vision with Clearview Towing Mirrors
One of the most important upgrades when towing is improved rear visibility, and that’s where Clearview Towing Mirrors for the Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series come in. Designed as a complete replacement solution, Clearview Towing Mirrors fully replace your factory side mirrors — they’re not simply an add-on accessory, but an integrated towing system engineered to enhance visibility, safety, and confidence behind the wheel.
Purpose-built for towing larger loads such as caravans, trailers, boats, and horse floats, Clearview Towing Mirrors extend outward to provide the additional field of vision needed to safely monitor wide loads and surrounding traffic. Their durable construction perfectly complements the touring capability and rugged reliability of the Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series, helping you tow with greater confidence across highways, country roads, and remote touring tracks.
Clearview isn’t just our name — it’s our promise. We’re committed to providing clearer, safer vision while towing, helping reduce blind spots and improving awareness of vehicles approaching from behind or preparing to overtake. In Australia, towing mirrors are essential for maintaining legal visibility when towing anything wider than your vehicle, making them a crucial safety upgrade for serious travellers.
You can select the mirror style that best fits your driving habits
Both models feature a discreet design that retracts close to the ute body when not in use. Most people will never guess you have towing mirrors installed until you extend them for your next big trip.
Our Next Gen and its twin mirror design is suitable for towing anything from the smallest of trailers to the largest of vans.
The Next Gen’s dual mirror design provides the best of both worlds; a large flat top mirror helps with reversing into parking spaces or aligning a hitch with a trailer, and the smaller convex mirror provides a better understanding of what’s happening around the vehicle.
Our Compact Towing Mirrors are just like a factory Mirror, with the additional advantage of the extra visibility that our towing mirror extension provides.
A large convex single mirror reduces the objects that it reflects, allowing the driver to have a much wider field view and diminishing blind spots.
Build the Ultimate Towing Foundation for Your Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series
Proper towing mirrors are just the beginning. A properly set up Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series needs a few essential upgrades before you hitch up a caravan, boat, camper trailer, or heavy load and head off on Australian highways, country roads, or remote touring tracks.
Heavy-Duty Towbar: A quality, correctly rated towbar is the foundation of any towing setup. Your LandCruiser 100 Series needs a towbar matched to your specific towing requirements to ensure safe load transfer, improved stability, and reduced trailer sway — particularly when travelling long distances or towing across uneven terrain. A professionally fitted hitch is critical for keeping everything secure and controlled.
Electric Brake Controller: If you’re towing a heavy trailer, an electric brake controller is essential. Installed inside the cabin, it activates your trailer brakes in sync with your LandCruiser’s braking system. This improves stopping performance, increases towing confidence, and helps meet legal towing requirements while reducing strain on your vehicle.
Anderson Plug: Keep your touring setup powered wherever the road takes you with an Anderson plug. This heavy-duty connection allows your LandCruiser 100 Series to deliver reliable, high-amp power to your caravan or trailer — ideal for running fridges, charging batteries, and supporting long-distance touring adventures.
UHF Radio: Stay connected both on and off the beaten track. A UHF radio is invaluable for convoy communication, receiving road condition updates from truck drivers, and guiding your spotter when reversing caravans or navigating tighter campsites.
Suspension Upgrades: Heavy tow ball weights can impact your LandCruiser’s handling by lowering the rear suspension and affecting steering response, braking, and vehicle balance. Upgrading to heavy-duty suspension, rear springs, or airbag assistance can help level the vehicle, restore handling characteristics, and maintain proper braking and headlight alignment under load — especially important for heavily equipped touring setups.
Watch Your Payload and Weight Limits
It’s easy to overload a Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series once you begin adding touring accessories like bull bars, winches, roof racks, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, and recovery gear. Every accessory reduces your available payload capacity.
Your payload is the maximum total weight your LandCruiser can legally carry — including passengers, fuel, accessories, luggage, and the downward force from your trailer (tow ball weight). Exceeding your GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) or axle limits is not only unsafe and illegal, but can also void insurance and place additional stress on suspension, driveline, and chassis components.
If your setup exceeds factory limits, a GVM upgrade may be worth considering. This typically involves upgraded suspension components designed to safely and legally increase carrying capacity for serious touring and towing applications.
Plan Your Build Today
Start your Toyota LandCruiser 100 Series towing setup the right way by prioritising the essentials — Clearview Towing Mirrors, a correctly rated towbar, and an electric brake controller.
We also recommend weighing your 100 Series at a local public weighbridge before adding accessories, so you have a clear understanding of your real-world payload and towing limits. Build it properly from the beginning, stay within legal requirements, and enjoy a safer, more comfortable towing experience on your next adventure.

To celebrate, TJM brought back their signature 105 Series decked out with brand new TJM gear – including our Clearview Compact Towing Mirrors!
If you tow a trailer, caravan, boat, or horse float, towing mirrors aren’t just a safety upgrade—they’re often a legal requirement. Australian road rules state that if your load extends beyond your standard mirrors, you must have mirrors that provide a clear view along the sides of your vehicle. Clearview Mirrors improve side visibility, reduce blind spots, and make lane changes, reversing, and cornering significantly safer. Even occasional towing can benefit from this essential upgrade.
