Toyota's most rugged Land Cruiser is back in Japan

If I could pick one up for 3.6 million Yen it'd be the first thing I do tomorrow after getting dressed.

You mean they didn't want to bring the Ghostrider back?!

That article is proof we are paying too much for 79 series.

The article says it is fitted with a 4 litre V6 engine.

Definitely built for short-arses.

Try driving one of these things if you're 6 foot tall or better.

I had one as a hire vechicle for 3 months when I was managing a plant upgrade up north a while back. Most uncomfortable piece of crap I've ever driven. There's more room for the driver in the ute / trayback version - at least you can move the seat back in them - you can't in the wagon.

And the V8 diesel engine is gutless .................. even a Td5 will blow them away.

Solid ............ yes. But offroad capable - nothing special, there's plenty of others out there that will match or better it.

Ill have to agree there, we pay nearly double for the bloody things not that i own one but i can't see the V8 diesel costing that much extra!!

I can only agree 110% they are just rubbish thats all we have on our site and god they are just rough as hell and small inside!! The engine is pretty ordinary to i dunno about how much fuel they use as we just fill them up and don't care and living in a mining town I'm sick of hearing that V8 engine with every different exhaust combination around hahaha.

I can't believe the price of them crazy!

When did we buy one Ben?

[djam1]

They are a loong way from the most rugged Land Cruiser
The earlier models were stronger

"we" as in Australia Serg...

Surely you knew what I meant already

The 79 series is the closest Toyota to a Defender. In fact the LR has probably changed more from 1948-now as the toyota has from 1951 to now. They still use the same rear suspension and track width

Toyota 4x4 production predates LR - since the AK10 was built in 1941...
