Australian miner here brother. We use the 79 series Utes underground as well for general transport, the Fitters have decked out service Utes, Charge crew use 79s with lockable boxes and the Shift boss has one with a stereo system that you can hear 2 levels away. There is nothing else out there that can drive underground as a brand new vehicle and still be going 300,000 clicks later.

We have 12 of them. They are as tough as, parts & servicing are reasonable, after market parts are widely available . Just needs another cog for the manual or a 7 spd auto. The V8 is underdone, can be thirsty, but is tractable & reliable . Our oldest variant is a 2010 model with 700k on the clock, our youngest is a 2022 model with 45k now covered . Expensive? Yes . But resale is still rocksolid . Nothing else around that's anywhere close to it .

You've got to understand one thing about LandCruisers. When you first get in one, you'll be shocked. The door handles are a bit spongy. So are the locks. The interior panel fit is terrible, the switch gear feels "so so", the gearbox is clunky with a huge throw, the clutch, the brake and the throttle feel like they're connected to the components that they control with rubber bands. They have terrible audio systems, the seats aren't the best, they're noisy and they drive like a truck. They don't handle at all well. They don't track, they don't stop and power isn't one of their strengths, either. And the ride is harsh. And there is always a rattle, a squeak, or both. And they are terrible in the city. And they're thirsty. And 25 years later, when it's got 550,000 km on the odometer, it will be exactly the same as the day that you bought it. The door handles, the locks, the plastics, the switches, the brake, the clutch, the gearbox, the engine, the ride... will all be exactly the same. And that's why people buy them. They're a good option for towing your Alfa back to the mechanic's, too. .

@@Pyjamarama11 i wouldn't call it a con job exactly, there are a number of reasons why it's such a trusted brand: despite my comments, they are very reliable cars, they are just not as reliable as they used to be. they are still among the most reliable brands, again, cars these days are just not as reliable as they were 20 - 30 years ago for a number of reasons; such as vastly increased amounts of electronics in vehicles, stricter emissions regulations requiring performance and reliability hampering modifications and outsourcing manufacturing to developing countries to cut costs. if i had to go out and buy a new car, i would still buy a Toyota, Lexus (yeah i know it's just luxury Toyota), Mazda, maybe a Hyundai or a KIA, but those have had some issues with their engines and recalls in recent years and I would have to do some more research. Ssangyong is an interesting option, the only thing that worries me is that they are such a new (to my country - they have been around for something like 50 years in Korea) brand, parts availability is not so good, so if anything did break or need fixing (which is not to say they are unreliable, cars break all the time and it's not always the cars fault, can be bad roads, bad luck etc) i would probably have to wait for parts to be shipped from Korea. ideally, buy an old, tried and true Toyota / Lexus for reliability, the late 80s, early 90s and even some 2000s were peak years for build quality and reliability, and the best part is that they are usually quite cheap compared to newer cars.

The GXL also adds completely superfluous arm rests. I can just make myself comfortable as a front seat passenger or driver in the standard-cosy-Model 70 cab i.e., one with manual windows. The substitution of arm rests for door handles reduces the effective internal width of the passenger compartment, increases the possibility of bruised arms in rough conditions and … in the event of a side impact, will bring the vehicle occupants closer to that impact! When you install electric windows in a ‘working cab’ they should be operated by flush mount switches fitted to the door cards.

You buy a LandCruiser for 10 years minimum....and then at the end of that ownership period you get to sell it for close to what you paid for it 😂 regardless of the high mileage. When you consider the true annual cost per year minus the future resale, overall you are in a FAR better financial position then you would be buying something like a Ranger....

Rear track width seems overly narrow, looks odd. But a remarkable vehicle.

Had one of those as a company car when I was a drill and blast technician for a huge open cut mine...

They had long been suggesting that all the external bracing, which they did not supply for the fleets, would make the vast majority of accidents the vehicles tended to be in far less safe for the occupants of the cab, transmitting the force to the passengers and there was plenty of examples of crashed utes that looked in good shape with dead occupants to back up the hypothesis.

Shots fired at the Tradies!

Will last your lifetime! Love it

I own a newer model hilux and newer model 78 series. I get wayyyy more of a hardon driving my 70 series. They just have substance that a hilux doesn’t have.

Probably an out of balance tail shaft.

Massive waiting list to order one and toyota not taking anymore orders

I have been around a long time. I get that as a farm truck or remote station Ute they are the ducks nuts. What I don't get is the people who throw 50k to 60k at this car to go beach driving or dirt roads with the family. As a 4wd they get hung up the leaf spring hangers a lot.

Here in Laos, we get only the 4.2 liter 6-cylinder diesel variant. That must be painfully slow to drive.

Got one in order

That lighter has been used a few times 😂😂

Man we need this in a America

The perfect pick-up

Yes the reability is something important.. But it's so uncomfortable no one wants to drive it for a whole day at work. we got 3 of the 2016y and 2 ford ranger.. The toyota are always the last on the parking lot for whoever is late or unfortunate enough, they could have fix that at least for this update

Are they driving them on tar roads to carparks or are they using them?
