@@eamonnixon5765 Not with the 70 series, the 76 (wagon) like in this video hasn't changed in its entire run here (first was early-mid 2000's, early ones rare as they didn't really become popular in this form until 2015ish, at least for city dwellers) except for the bonnet in 2016 and if you go back prior to that, when it was a JDM Prado, from the windscreen back its the same car shape wise all be it with lighter duty running gear and smaller engine options. The 80-100-200-300 series are what changes, not these real 4wd's.

I've had mine for 4 years now. I believe that people look for old school proven no frills reliability can still be bought brand new. It has been reported that Toyota will start taking more orders because of the heavy demand.
I wanna get one in central America to start a trip from there to Ushuaia Argentina. Knowing this particular land cruiser(i grew up in Nicaragua and over there are used as country side ambulance) i know they are indestructible, or I can make it In Russian UAZ Bushanka as well but parts can be difficult to find for it
Could they also potentially put the V35A-FTS 3.4L V6? It's got 409hp @5200rpm and 650N•m of torque @2000-3600rpm when used in the Land Cruiser J300 and the Lexus LX J310. Bloody beast it would be.
This story has two sides; it's great to own a car that would function for probably 40 years, but at the same time, what's the point of owning a boring car for so long! I really cannot decide.
I mean with the $80k this costs you can still get great reliability from any other Toyota product without it feeling barebones and from the 80s. A Prado if you want a SUV, Hilux if you want a ute, Camry if you want a sedan, etc and a high spec model of each of them with creature comforts to keep you happy into the next 20+ years should you choose to keep it that long. It will still run. What matters more is you enjoy driving it.
@@jacobclarke5789 I understand they're some of the most robust offroading machines available and are essentially bullet proof, but they're undeniably boring. $80k and not even equipped with curtain airbags or anything else from this century, bloody robbery in this day and age.

I personally don’t get everyone’s fascination with these, $80k in 2021 for a SUV that feels straight out of 1981. Not a SUV person myself but I can even see the appeal with normal Landcruisers.

It just feels ridiculous when you look at how nice a $35k Camry is in comparison, or even a 10 year old Camry at that, why does it cost Toyota so much to build such a basic barebones car they’ve been making for 40 years straight. 95% of people would be doing far better in a Hilux or Prado. Only a rare few in a super-remote area really needs one of these.
But you have probably the best cruiser out there for real off-roading, well set up 105's are absolute beasts in the rough stuff, in low range your lack of power is almost meaningless! I have a 76 and have driven with more than a few 105's off-road and they are outstanding. Just throw a decent motor in it, 1hd-fte ;) Then its honestly probably the best of all worlds. Older 4.2 patrols are good also, im not a one eyed toyota fan boi like some.

Bonjour monsieur le prix de votre Toyota Land merci
It’s hard to believe this is a 2022 model 😅, but I hope Toyota never stops making this model.
I like it better than the new designs.
It 's sample but unique
Toyota cannot afford to not build these because they are the best seller to UN, government and non-government organizations. The Hilux, Prado and Land Cruiser get softer and more complicated by the year so these organizations will be looking at the 70 Series even more in the future.
Look like mitsubichi montero
It's still not discontinued
It'll be a great road trip vehicle because of the massive trunk space, engine reliability and simplicity of it. I wish I had one.
I’m Japanese
Selling of Land Cruiser 70 series was already ceased here in Japan 2004 and I didn’t know it’s still sold overseas
I’m glad and proud
Japanese cars are the best, I have 2 cars, one is a Honda and the other is a Lexus hybrid..
In 2022 but I would still buy a 70 serious.

So the FJ40 is not real?
@@juaneeragree, same as HZJ105R the 100 series variant made for Australian conditions.
