If you want to buy this new Toyota 79 Series, you’ll have to wait FOUR YEARS. One of the most in-demand commercial vehicles in Australia, the 79 Series is only made in Japan at a specialised factory. It uses a 4.5-litre single-turbo diesel V8 and the only gearbox available is a five-speed manual. The Land Cruiser ute has four-wheel drive with low-range.
Does the LC79 compete with dual-cab utes? Sort of, but it is considerably more capable than many of them. It is also much more expensive. As tested here this 2022 Toyota 79 Series 70th Anniversary costs $80,050.
As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Cars are a lot more expensive in Australia than the US. From a sample of 5 vehicles I've looked at between our countries (adjusted for AUD vs USD) it looks like AU pays anywhere from 25-35% more per vehicle. So in the US this vehicle would start around $32,000 to $36,000 which is fairly reasonable given it's overall capability + 4WD + KDSS.

I upset someone from chasing cars last time I left my honest feedback on the mega dual cab review but I’m here to be honest again! I really enjoyed this review. This bloke did some research and knew his stuff. I’ve owned a 79 dual cab and they’re such a good thing - for the farm - and that’s about it. When commuting to my closest town or going on a trip out west the Lc79 Ute is seriously uncomfortable and fatiguing. As he said though, they are a blank canvas and the aftermarket options are unreal but damn costly. Overall a tough unit that could be so much more if Toyota just tweaked a few minor things! Like the 5th gear, cabin noise and wheel track. You do need to weigh up a chopped 200 when you do the figures.. Cheers

mudguards, not fenders. It's not antiquainted, it's a timeless practical work vehicle

[@nathansharma87]

For anyone wondering why this is so expensive it's because Toyota really wanted it to die off many years ago. The mines and Australia in general really opposed it's death. Toyota argued that it cost them an incredible amount of money to keep it's low volume production going with labour, tooling and logistics etc. They also said it's costing them tens of millions to keep it emissions and safety compliant. With assigning engineers, testing, research and development and then putting it through government standards testing. The mines and Australia said we don't care we want a 70 Series. Toyota said fine, whatever but you'll have to pay for it. All of it's costs will be spread across each vehicle and because there's a narrow market for it with a handful of trim levels then those prices will be high. Australia said no worries. Hence we have this dinosaur at astronomical prices. The Middle East and Africa also get it, but Australia is the key driving factor for this car. The Middle East gets a petrol version for leisure more than work. Africa gets it because it's one of the few countries where it sells. Just as an example on how much cars cost to comply etc, Lotus spent $50 million dollars just getting one of their low volume cars compliant with government standards and approved for sale.

[@jean-louishamid5285]

Awesome! Thanks for the information 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tempestv8]

So basically it's safety and emissions compliance that is making this vehicle expensive? Who do we have to thank for that? I'd be OK to pay the price premium if the 78 and 79 Series also received the same safety upgrades but sash only rear center seat belt on the 4 door models is not really up to scratch despite the high asking price.

[@nathansharma87]

@@tempestv8 not only that. Toyotas argument is that they could be producing other vehicles on the Landcruiser 70 line which provides them with a much larger market, more diverse customer portfolio and better profit margins, instead they have to dedicate time and effort to maintain the 70 Series tooling, the labour and essentially keep it's production line open for a select minority market. In order for it to meet ever changing safety requirements it has to get additions engineered into it and pass a whole new series of tests. All that costs money and time even meeting the bare minimum. Hence it doesn't have autonomous emergency braking etc, it's just what was required to meet current crash and emissions standards.

[@danielhill9080]

@@nathansharma87 Wow, you don't have a clue about the 70 Series actual mission, which is ultimate reliability and survivability under the toughest conditions. 70 series incorporates a lot of truck technology scaled down, detuned, while most 4WD's are comprised of car technology scaled-up, highly-sprung motor blows-up after 300,000 k's, when the Cruiser will do a million plus. Landcuiser is about evolution, not revolution, applying what works over time, discarding that which doesn't. You city people just don't get it, demanding all the latest gadgetry, just more unnecessary bullshit that's going to fail, leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

[@christophersaul]

70 series in the Middle East (or at least the Gulf) are principally used for work rather than leisure. Luckily it’s been easier for private owners to register certain models recently, so there are a few troopies around now and a few SWB on the road for personal use. Other than that, the pickups are working vehicles everywhere. The Saudi traffic police use the SWB, which must be the most impractical car for the job!

You know sometime, most of the 4WD utes currently on the market will do 300k kms with out and major issues. These things are overpriced dinosaur, then you need to consider safety. Toyota should not be allowed to sell a vehicle with a wider front track than the rear. Plan dangerous.

[@sbGOM]

So let me get this right. 85 ish on road for a 4x4 Ute with plastic seats, you need to replace, an infotainment system, you need to replace. It needs an after market centre console. It needs a rear axle widening kit. It needs an air filter modification to make it dustproof. Probably needs shit loads of suspension work to see its true off-road potential. And after all that you get a 5 speed gutless gas guzler that droans at anything over 90kph, with next to no cabin space. This one does look good though.....from the front. (Thinks...boy am I gonna cop it now :).

Toyota could do well to get their act together on this one. There is a market amongst militaries, emergency services, heavy industries and enthusiasts the world over for a bomb proof, extreme duty 4WD and whilst the 70 series is about the most suitable thing out there it still falls a long way short of filling the role. G-wagons are the next best thing (better on paper, trash in reality and twice the price) but there just isn't anything out there that will survive the punishment one can give a 70 series. The V8 will happily powerslide through gravel corners at 90km/h and fly down forestry roads at 110km/h fully laden but they do really need a 6 speed. In Papua New Guinea they're about the most common vehicle you'll see though still with the 6 cylinder 1HZ motor - absolutely gutless at speed but will handle the poor treatment!

I drive a 12-year-old Taco 2-door, WITH A 5 SPEED!!, because I don't know of anything similar that is as durable and practical available here in the states, and quite frankly I shouldn't have to worry about it for another decade, barring catastrophe of course.

[@josephc1148]

wish we could buy them in the states

In middle east its more premium and comes in petrol + auto transmission

Toyota lost me when they "Upgraded" from the 1hdfte to a VDJ 🤣

[@Garbage101]

This is what people want. Analog, reliability, no bells, ICE, customizability. I am sick of some of the tech fluff jammed into cars

[@dhirenderkumarcarandgadget5520]

I am waiting for 15 years

[@dicknawson]

If they sold this in America it would also have a four year waiting list

The 5 star is incredible on this thing and so are the Things you buy from the Shops to suit your, Needs. From Thomas ✅🇦🇺®.

It's Headlights Are Almost Looks Like MITSUBISHI PAJERO V6 3600. 😊

What’s the point reviewing the Anniversary one and implying that it’s actually possible to get one of these??

[@Ash_Simo]

These must have huge profit margins for Toyota.

[@chasingcars]

A lot of the costs would be amortised - but then again they’re basically handmade

[@HighCountryHughesie]

I traded my 2019 79 single cab in for $5,000 more than I paid for it. Wonder what my 2022 GXL single cab is now worth????? Try that on a Ranger, Triton or Nav!!! They are merely landfill.

If you want the same as a tractor, then buy a Massey Fergusson. The tractor will have better features and equipment for less and a smaller wait time.

[@VintageRKO]

Weird how this survives but not the new Lexus IS

[@chasingcars]

Guess which one is more profitable?

[@steveclifford1239]

So all these after market upgrades are obviously free as you don’t bother about money.

[@Linknelson]

Wish they sold these trucks here in the US

[@dearSamuelSamuel1]

Would love one, if I could afford it ha

[@Chris-74]

How the hell are these cars so wanted? It's like stepping back into the 70's ... 80k but needing another 80k spent on it to make it practical 😅

[@JavierCR25]

This is a tool not a means of transportation per se. It’s tough as nails and great for work at the farm or mines but that’s it, don’t think of it as a daily driver.
