Fowlers bay beaches and isolated remote sand dunes cliff top navigation and tight windy hills , we were fully loaded and packed to the hilt with wifey and two lads ,I sat in low 4wd , tyres at 18 psi ,I never got bogged once the torque availability is present just after idle , so low in the rev range, I never had to use the diff locks once , saw lots of 200 series , patrols ,hilux’s ,tritons didn’t see any navara or rangers but suffice to say ,all were having their own little dramas in the deep sand , All except us , what ever Toyota has done or for whatever the reason , please know this associated 70 series formulation absolutely works with bucket loads of ability. And I must say with this much confidence in the ability’s of your vehicle ,driving the most remote coast of south Australia was an all time high and the best driving experience I’ve ever had . Why did I procrastinate for so many years ,I will tell you why, social media ,I listened to all the silly little un educated patrol fan boy nay sayers and their utter nonsense.

These old parts also enhances the nostalgic feel for me. The lack of technology is also a thing I love about this car, nothing but you, the car and the road, or dirt. Most people would think that (since I'm 17 and don't live in the outback) I'd hate this car because it's "too old", but that couldn't be further from the truth! Although all the technology in cars today is very impressive and extremely helpful, I can't help but feel that it takes away from the raw experience of driving.

​@@brendankime4692 I am not sure of the year they introduced the traction control, the hill start assist and the higher gear ratio. Either way, the models that have these are definately not on my future wish list. I worked for a drilling company and had the displeasure of having a newer model as part of my employment arrangements and I can tell you I wish I kept the older model. The hill start assist is absolute rubbish. At first I couldnt understand what the hell was going on. Virtually flat road and go to take off and you stall because the damn brakes were on. If you as a driver are too useless to take off on flat ground let alone a hill then fine, have a button you can push to help you do it but never have it as a forced option. The traction control was counter productive too. In soft sand the damn thing cuts the engine so you basically bog down...unless you are in low4 so the traction control stays off when you turn it off. In the older model I used to drive almost everywhere in 2wd and not have a problem. With the new model, forget it. You just end up in the bush unless you put it into 4wd. The abs leaves a lot to be desired. On the gravel roads you just dont stop. The cab is less comfy on the newer models. The damn stereo deck is useless - it refuses to remember what track you were up to on a usb stick. The fuel tank is too small. The gearbox seems to be extra noisy and clunky. May have just been my particular vehicle. The auto hubs have to be kept on manual if you want to change in or out of 4wd on the move or all you get is grinding. The only plus about the newer models is the track correction and the improved gear ratios. This however is not a strong enough argument to warrant me ever buying another cruiser. I am not a city slicker soccer mum driving to the oval on weekends. Toyota needs to stop putting crap features into the build to cater for people who cannot drive. This includes every bell and alarm under the sun that screams at you because the handbrake is on, the door is open, your seatbelt aint on etc etc. I am only too aware that the bloody door is open or my seatbelt aint on etc. The stupid things you have to do to use this vehicle in a farm environment etc is over the top. Try jumping in and out of the vehicle whilst travelling short distances maneuvering with the door open to check around the vehicle. From dumb alarms and so called safety devices to a stupid hillstart assist that stalls the vehicle because when you want to go it should go not wait for you to rev the engine for a second before taking off!! The more technical and more ahem, refined they make the cruiser the more shit it is and more prone to failure it will be. I will stick with my 2012 model which runs rings around the 2021 model.

Even in south africa where you dont get good service from a,dealership,you can still rely on toyota service,and even that cruiser,even if it is more expensive than other basic off road vehicles,id still buy it for the good service and I know,when I sell it,the resale value will be good

Still have late 80's early 90's landcruiser on the family farm, was bought with the straight (4.0 i think)6 and it's still going today. Done well over 300k and it just keeps going, with no major repairs needed for it. Yeah it's slow and very basic but these things are bullet proof, it's what i also learnt to drive in back in the 90's. It was and still is used for rounding up cattle in it, and general farm duties.

Great review. They should exist...wish I could get my hands on one.

70 series is amazing and they should keep manufacturing them as looks awesome and these should also be made available in Indian market

Same here, yes I also spent a fortune on it to turn it from a farm truck into an overland tourer, but the point is if you do spend the money you can get a spectacular machine, no amount of money can turn a Ranger or Amarok into the finished product you can get when you start with a 70 series.

Hahahahaha, that's what I don't understand, you need to spend a fortune on buying these things, then need to spend another fortune on them to make them only a reasonable 4WD. For any manufacture to sell a car with 100mm smaller wheel track than the front and get away with it, is nuts, let alone a number of other faults with these cars, I don't get it, but it does come down to, if you are happy with the car, that's all that matters I suppose.

I am blown away that they still manufacture and sell that thing but you guys have a brutal environment so it makes sense.

Absolutely! simplicity is a fine art.

The problem with the modern 70 series is that there's a LOT of parts in the powertrain you can't fix yourself on the side of the road, unlike older 70 series. If anything in the common rail system shits the bed you're getting a tow truck home. Also, for a car that recouped its R&D costs a very long time ago it's obscenely expensive especially given the poor equipment levels.

Awesome!!!!! They must exist till eternity!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

One of the best, if not the best, 4x4s on the market. I drove one from one end of PNG to the other under extreme conditions and it was a bomb proof powerhouse.

We rarely see them in town but outside of town in rural areas and farmlands the hilux and lc79 are around.

The Ute is great - on my third ( 2 new) over 23 plus years , approx 25k per year mainly on road pulling a trailer . Can beat most other vehicles away at traffic lights , no gear change to pass semis , I breakdown over the three utes and that was the result of faulty part fitted to turbo during a service at Toyota . Because they are rugged the first scratch to a new one doesn’t hurt that much . Wouldn’t have anything else !

It should surely exist. This is as simple as it can get and very useful in the harsh climates or tough conditions. Would love to Drive this when i visit down under next time

The 2nd gen pajero from the 1990s was the best version. Mitsubishi hit the sweet spot with that one. But their 80s version had the best look.

I wish you had the troopy, that’s my ultimate dream touring vehicle. You’re wrong about the rubber tube on the mirror, my 85 Hilux had that too, it’s for vibration. If you had have started the vehicle and removed the rubber, you’d know what it’s purpose was for, not durability, cos it bends the frame -lol. The dealer probably told you that. To answer your question, as long as mining exists, these vehicles will exist. I hope they never stop making them personally - love simplicity

we had four of these 70s series for sale and they all sold for guys who needed it in the country.Most traded their hilux and rangers for this.I absolutely love driving this with the good low end torque.

Love the review! We can't get this in the US. My Isuzu Trooper had that split tailgate. I really wish we could get that 70 Series in the US. I like the straight forward format. Thanks.
