The Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series remains Australia’s go-to heavy-duty 4WD, prized for its rugged simplicity and rock-solid reliability.

The range offers a solid line-up of practical models – including WorkMate and GXL Troopy and wagon variants, along with single- and dual-cab chassis utes – each built to handle tough work, challenging off-road conditions, and camper conversions with ease. Powered mainly by a proven 2.8-litre turbo diesel engine, the 70 Series is all about durability and capability rather than luxury or tech. That makes it a trusted choice for mining, agriculture, remote-area touring, and anyone who needs a vehicle that can withstand serious abuse without fuss.

Pros

  • Built tough with simple, reliable mechanics made for harsh conditions
  • Versatile range covering wagons, troop carriers, and single/dual-cab utes.
  • Strong off-road and towing capability with proven 2.8L turbo diesel

Cons

  • Basic interior and features, with little focus on comfort or tech
  • Heavy and bulky, making it less nimble on tight trails or city streets
  • Older design means fewer modern safety and convenience systems
