Why choose a 79 series Land Cruiser?

Greg and Paul go through a Toyota Land Cruiser 79 series build, a truck that has become popular with 4x4 enthusiasts and overlanders in the likes of Africa and Australia. With its old school Toyota 1hz engine option for bulletproof reliability, or the beefed up V8 4.5 litre D4D powerhouse, you can't go wrong with a 79 - especially if payload is important for your next trip.

The reason we have the diesel V8 is it bulletproof my troopy had over 600,000 km and never broke down ever it’s a great motor and it will last longer than any 6 cylinder.they nearly took the V8 out and we’re going to replace it with a V6 twin turbo same as the 300 series but everyone threatened to never buy one so they kept it in the 70 series thankfully

[@harveysmith100]

I have a 30 year old 70 series Japanese Import in the UK. Best vehicle I have ever owned. There are companies out there that will buy vehicles at Japanese Auctions you view online and then help you import them for you. Parts are not a problem, the dealerships can get them for me or I import them from Japanese companies, Amayama being one. Another option is a company in Gibraltar. I think they are called Gibraltar Holdings. They specialise in 70 for Africa.

[@elguusko5481]

It's similar here in Germany. My Toyota dealer at least knows what the 70 series is, but he owns an LC150 himself. The market for the 70 series in Europe is sadly too small. Mining companies use Unimogs, which leaves overlanders, world travelers, and other niche customers. It also doesn't help that neither the H1Z nor the 1VD engine meet Euro6 emission standards. There are a few import businesses which sell new 70 and 200 Land Cruiser with gasoline engines, though. Maybe things change if a future 300 series has a diesel engine that meets emission standards and can be fit in a 70. I personally own a 150 Series. It's not as tough as a 70 nor as powerful as the 200 but it's still a good and capable vehicle. An imported 70 series gasoline V6 would have been 50 percent more expensive than the 150 from the local dealer. Not worth it, at least to me, but I don't plan to leave Europe in my car. I could buy a new DPF every couple of years for the savings in fuel costs alone, too.

[@Africasideways]

@@elguusko5481 The Prado is likely the best compromise for European regulations and conditions. Are there many offroad trails in Germany?

[@elguusko5481]

@@Africasideways We have a good number of offroad-parks in Germany. They are usually in old military training areas. You have to pay to use it but they are usually well maintained and can be quite challenging. As far as I know real overland travel like in Africa or Australia is not possible in Europe. There are of course mountain passes in the Alps which come with their own challenges. I always forget that the light-duty Land Cruiser is called Prado outside of Europe. It's a good compromise in my opinion, especially on the Autobahn independent front suspension is an advantage. Most people criticize the vehicle for the low power output, though. On the other hand, we are spoiled by all the high powered luxury SUVs, which are often confused with proper 4x4 vehicles.
