I own one of these, Toyota LC76 series, bought it 12 months ago new. Best car I've ever owned. They are basic but solid and reliable. Nothing has changed from the A pillar back since 1975. My dream vehicle.

Just a note: the factory snorkel is not rated for water, it’s primarily for dust. You need to update to an after market snorkel if you want it to be able to cross water
I drive a HJZ75 with the 1HZ engine and I don’t thing that vehicle will ever break. 70 Series utes are marvels of engineering, and are a dream to drive.
I'm proud that this legend is still in production. Now is 2021, this car is delivery car for vaccines for states with bad roads. Good job, Toyota! Legends never die!
Lived and worked overseas for 10 years (Civilian DOD Pilot), these awesome Japanese designed, Japanese engineered, Japanese built vehicles were indestructible and sold everywhere worldwide, except the USA of course. Even a lot of foreign Military branches have these as their vehicles, built tough and built to last and reliable as all Hell. Thanks to LBJ and that friggan chicken tax (25% tax / tariff on foreign trucks) plus the fact that here in the USA we're stuck with American designed / built Toyotas, we'll never see these here again like we did back in the 60s and 70s. You CAN order the Top of the Line Land Cruiser still but not these rough and tumble ones. Even the FJ Cruiser was still being built up to 2018 but they stop sending and selling them in the USA in 2016. One of the reasons I'll never part with mine. So, we'll never have these babies but if you look closely at the VIN numbers on Toyotas in the dealerships, you can see a few with a VIN number that starts with a "J" and a sticker that says, made in Japan. Good news is the 4Runner is made in Japan (for now) but still not as cool and tough as this model above. As far as safety goes, I had one of these in the Middle East and was rear ended by an American made Nissan Titan. The Titan was totaled, the front end was pushed all the way into the engine compartment and my vehicle had a dented hatch and bumper, heck, the rear hatch door still worked. Got it fixed and was a happy unit! One thing I miss about being overseas, besides eating food with no chemicals in it, it the abundance of vehicles with distinct personalities instead of the cookie cutter jelly bean wanna be vehicles here. Sure, BIG BIG BIG engines and HP but the quality and fit and finish will never be up to par. In my own opinion that is. Love what you drive, drive what you love I always say.
@@Jimmieadamsp I do not think that is the reason. There is not enough demand for it in the US. Even if otherwise, Jeep/Fiat/Chrysler would not allow it as there is the Wrangler already. Is it a coincidence that the US does not even have a Suzuki Jimmy? How about the boxy LR Defender? I am from Haiti, and I can assure you that you will not find any of these cars in junkyards for they do not break down. In terms of a crash, I would rather find myself in any of the above-mentioned cars than any other ones that are available in the US. This is to say, once more, I do not think safety is an issue. (that was just my opinion)
I would buy one today if they were only available in the states! TOYOTA please export them to the USA! guaranted you will take over sales in the off road market. Hope you are listening TOYOTA. This machine is very similar to my 86 4-runner basic and reliable.
Correction: That is NOT a snorkel, that is a cyclonic air filter. As it sucks in air, it cycles around the top, throwing any dust to the sides and allowing clean air to flow to the engine. Unlike a snorkel, it is not watertight, and it will ingest water if it is submerged. However, someone driving it in a dry, dusty environment, such as a mine, will be better off with this over a traditional snorkel. If you want a proper snorkel, it has to be fitted aftermarket. Interior buttons guide: Left of steering wheel: Traction control off, demister, radio antenna raise and lower. Right of steering wheel top: Hand throttle, increases idle speed. Right bottom: Manual Diesel Particulate Filter switch. This is a emissions control device that captures carcinogenic soot particles, that must be burned off, that normally happens around highway speeds. If you are not driving at highway speeds, it cannot burn the particulate matter off and if left too long, it will clog the filter and enjoy your several thousand dollar repair bill. So after a while of no highway travel, or stop-start traffic, or short trips, it'll automatically start a burn by using a little extra fuel to raise the exhaust temperature, which burns it off. But if this happens in a remote area in, say, dry bushland, it creates a major fire hazard. So you use this button to start the burn early and prevent clog filter or a bushfire. There's a little warning label on the driver's door detailing this better. All the rest are blank switches. Some versions may have factory features that will use them, but otherwise they're great to have to allow aftermarket electronics to have buttons in easy reach without drilling into the dash.

The 70 series was introduced in the early 1984 as the workhorse successor to the dated 40 series. The larger 60 series was introduced four years earlier. In subsequent years, the successors to both the 70 and 60 series increasingly came to emphasize comfort with the huge popularity of 4WD vehicles in the 90s. Toyota replaced leaf springs with coil springs and introduced independent suspension up front among other things. The 70 series became the basis for the Prado and the Lexus GX. The larger 60 series became the iconic 80 series, the 100 series and today's Land Cruiser 200 and the Lexus LX. During this whole time, however, the 70 series continued to live on in some parts of the world as the no nonsense workhorse utility truck, manual hub locks et al. More recently, it appears the 70 series has found a new following among aficiandos in developed countries who find "luxurious" and dumb-downed "SUVs" as paradoxical. - Tim
This is just gorgeous perfection. I hope someday American Automobile Industry will understand how crucial it is to build something from the basis of an impecable reputation, as Toyota Company has done from day one. I can only hope.
they can offer it easily but US wrangler junk sales will dropped to bottom of the deepest ocean! These trucks are easily indestructible no fancy screens touching shit countless buttons etc,
This is a nice rig. I would like having one in addition to my 2019 Land Cruiser 200 series. It is my understanding the 200 series is not marketed in the USA bc of emission requirements. My 200 series is used other than for the highway. I enjoy its 5.7 liter engine. Emission requirements would hamper this 70 series performance. Although my 200 series has lots of bells and whistles it is a formidable rig off road. I am truly pleased with my purchase. Cheers!
Wow, I remember this car and it's feels when I cannot drive, I barely can't touch pedal with my feet, now I'm bigger and old enough, and I miss you.. This is oto as long as I can remember
I couldn't believe I was watching this video with a BIG excited smile on my face the whole time until I realized we can't have it here in the States.... 🤦♂️🥴
The factory Toyota snorkel is no good for water crossings. It's inadequately sealed against water ingress. For dusty roads or bulldust, it's barely adequate. It's pretty much a given here in Australia that if you're gonna be doing serious offroading with deep creek crossings and notorious bulldust filled tracks, you'll have to get rid of the factory snorkel and put in an aftermarket, reputable branded snorkel e.g. Safari. Also a good idea to silicone the airbox joins in order fully dust and waterproof it.
@@eaglen00b Thank you for that note. I wasn't referring to that exact snorkel but snorkel in general. But am pretty surprised Toyota engineers made the snorkel that unusable. And yes, I live in the US and I actually purchased the ARB Safari for my 4runner and I can't complain. Happy trails! =)
@Dave D That's good to hear Dave, phew~. I'm pretty sure Toyota Engineers know what they are doing. Unfortunately my 4runner does not come with stock snorkel so I purchased the after market product. Happy trails Dave! =)
This is bad ass I have seen these in action in northern Pakistan 30 40 years old landcruser crossing streams rivers mountains dirt and best thing is they don't even brake.
That vehicle is fantastic I am really in love with him because it's indestructible also it can save your life with the 70s series nothing in the world could overcome it. Thanks for the video man was stunning.
I think you'll find that the innocent Houthi ciiizens don't get given new Toyota's to drive around in. The house of Saud and Toyota Saud supply LC and Hilux to ISIL Daesh. There is a disgraceful genocide going on in Yemen perpetrated by the Sauds and assisted by the US. Not to mention US sells the weapons to Saud in the first place.
early 2000 dashboard.. and all the rest from the 80's. This is one of the most awesome thing ever!! I own a 1988 bj71 and i would love one of this but i think is pretty impossible to import it in Italy hahaha
Seeing this in 2019 in the US is like seeing a future where BMW was still making e30s. If this was in the US they would sell out immediately and would last 40 years. Those classic Japanese Toyota details are incredible. Makes everything they currently make look like garbage.
I had a LJ 78 in 1996 for about 4 years they look just like this I think they are basically the same vehicle it looks like it hasn’t changed very much at all they are basic like this because they can take lots of abuse and still go on. The newer 4x4s are full of electronics and just give you lots of hassle plus you can’t do much with them when they go wrong in the middle of nowhere with these you can still get going with a basic tool kit. Very nice vehicle and very reliable.
My father have the 1995 pickup 70 series, still working perfectly till now, and it screams as if it's still brand new, even though he have 890k kilometers on it
amigo...felicitaciones, que bueno es ver que en tu país estén importando vehículos de verdad... estos Land Cruiser han ayudado a crear mi país, son verdaderamente indestructibles...un gran saludo desde Colombia.
Im a sucker for old suv's like land cruiser 40 , 70 , 80 series are my favourite suv also i love open jeeps it's like my dream car i will buy one Inshallah
When you come out to central NSW the landcruser is one of he only cars you’ll see. also love your vids mate keep up the good work and can you do a review of a single cab landcruser Ute
@@tst3vens Pretty much ANYWHERE outback, away from major cities. Don't forget the parts network. You can get parts in the smallest of small towns past Woop Woop.
Jordan Quinn That is actually just an air cleaner. It has 5 separate pieces and is not a sealed unit. Owners replace this with a sealed one piece snorkel like a Safari etc.
My guess is that the main purpose of the snorkel is to reduce the amount of dust drawn into the air filters. I understand that these vehicles are commonly used in the mining industry in Australia and so would be driven on dusty roads frequently. Especially when they are driven behind another vehicle that is kicking up a lot of dust, the snorkel, being up high, would cut down substantially on the amount of dust that the air filters need to deal with. There is also what appears to be some kind of dust separator on top of the snorkel. This is a work vehicle. Nothing fancy about it at all. Built for heavy usage in harsh conditions and reliability. I wish I had one.
I have a 1995 HZJ75RV from new. It's done an extremely reliable 470,000km on the original factory 1HZ normally aspirated straight six diesel. Still the original driveline and radiator. Still fires up at the first crank (unless battery is on its way out). Fuel consumption is around 11.9 L/100 km, which by today's standards is pretty thirsty of course. But EVERYTHING still works like the day drove it brand new off the dealer's lot. With any luck, I won't need to even consider a rebuild of the engine until 750,000kms or later. This thing is heavy AF but geez it's solid. Seats 10 people including driver. I've moved sofas, beds, fridges, gym sets, paving bricks etc. The amount of room you get when you fold and lift up the middle row of seats and the two side rows of seats is unbelievable. It just opens up to be a huge cavernous square useable cargo area. I've slept outstretched in the back on camping trips with great comfort and space. It is an incredibly versatile and capable vehicle. With twin 90L tanks on board, I can safely do at least 1,300km from the 180L or so on board. It's not a rocket, but will happily do 100km/h all day without an issue. Gearing is a bit high though. 100km/h in 5th is about 2400rpm and the engine redlines at 4000 rpm.
5-speed manual is the golden part of these vehicle. And here is my story about these cruisers: Although I have no experiences with the 70 series, I do have a close relative who owns an `99 ver 100 series with 5 speed mt in China. That thing, ofmg that thing, drives like a literal blast, I absolutely loves it. The name 'land cruiser' make sense because it DON`T GIVE A FUCK about what kind of ground surface below and just runs like nothing. I am actually a lightweight sports car person who usually into miata and lotus, but this big boi gave me a totally different kind of joy. That relative of mine was almost about to get rid of it because he think it`s too old, but I told him how rare a manual with only 50k kliometers is, and he has changed his mind. I think I will buy that vehicle from him later when I got my money up because it`s gonna be nearly impossible to find another one of these in China again!
The first video on the channel to hit a million views - new milestone. === There are two types of Land Cruiser: one made for the everyday driver and the other for off-road usage. The Land Cruiser 70 Series is made for the wild with classic looks and a well built interior.
Yeah its super reliable one time my dad was driving it in 1 feet supee soft sand and it didnt have a problem until it tried to get up. But we just used max trax and it went up. I think it was because it was street tires
@@letzchat321 Safety regulations and emissions...on top of what others mentioned. Not to mention thr market would in fact be too nitch to sale a large number (these are 80k used starting and shipped from Japan).
As i am from IRAN and iranian , i can say that if we no had this kind of toyota in war with Iraq maybe IRAN lose the game to iraq......very usefull car for any climet and wheather
Just to let you know it comes V8 diesel and V6 gasoline version (similar and maybe the same V6 engine on Land Cruiser) of this also a Pickup style or SUV style
I wish they sold this model in the US. We're stuck with the soccer--Mom version more suitable for driving to a fine restaurant than going off road or doing any work.

tha idealist He hated on the LX570 but then praised the Land Cruiser even though they’re the same price. I don’t understand Doug sometimes. Only true enthusiasts can appreciate the LX570s/Land Cruisers. The 85k price tag is excessive though.

This is bad ass I have seen these in action in northern Pakistan 30 40 years old landcruser crossing streams rivers mountains dirt and best thing is they don't even brake.
From Colombia, i Say the best Toyota all time , nice car
I own a 97 4Runner, 2012 GX460, 2013 Highlander Hybrid, and a 2018 LX570 but MAN that 70 series is on a different level!!
@@toyotafather
Thank You!
I like to own one of this vehicle one day, it reminded back in Africa. Beautiful I love it
That vehicle is fantastic I am really in love with him because it's indestructible also it can save your life with the 70s series nothing in the world could overcome it. Thanks for the video man was stunning.
To those wondering why they have the 70series and US doesn’t!!!
We have 4Runner, Tundra, Tacoma, they have all the COOL LAND CRUISERS.
Pretty sad...
Cool land cruisers? Idk about you but the J200 is not the off road rig that older models used to be, I wouldn't take a cruiser or a Tundra off roading

I LOVE IT!/ 1.Its simple 2. It has 4WD 3. You can easily add offroad accessories. EX-winch,snorkel.
African warlords dream car 😂👌
Gil of mandaue Gil of mandaue trust me not just Africa all the world dreams car
Yeah Colombian drug dealers dream car too!
As used by ISIL Daesh. Supplied by Saudi, Qatar and Kuwait.
I think you'll find that the innocent Houthi ciiizens don't get given new Toyota's to drive around in.
The house of Saud and Toyota Saud supply LC and Hilux to ISIL Daesh.
There is a disgraceful genocide going on in Yemen perpetrated by the Sauds and assisted by the US.
Not to mention US sells the weapons to Saud in the first place.
Yes
There's just something about this car and the way it looks, its so elegant
I know right it so awesome one day I'll own this car one day :D
We are blessed that we are able to drive these toyota beasts in even a 3rd world country Pakistan. Even Americans are wishing for it here.
early 2000 dashboard.. and all the rest from the 80's. This is one of the most awesome thing ever!! I own a 1988 bj71 and i would love one of this but i think is pretty impossible to import it in Italy hahaha
Seeing this in 2019 in the US is like seeing a future where BMW was still making e30s. If this was in the US they would sell out immediately and would last 40 years. Those classic Japanese Toyota details are incredible. Makes everything they currently make look like garbage.
I had a LJ 78 in 1996 for about 4 years they look just like this I think they are basically the same vehicle it looks like it hasn’t changed very much at all they are basic like this because they can take lots of abuse and still go on. The newer 4x4s are full of electronics and just give you lots of hassle plus you can’t do much with them when they go wrong in the middle of nowhere with these you can still get going with a basic tool kit. Very nice vehicle and very reliable.
This is the proper off-roader.
This made me miss my old 86 LJ70. They really did not change alot :D Which is good!
If they sold these in the states I guarantee they’d sell the hell out of them.
Looks: 100/100
Technology:10/100
I still want it. :)
This car can outlast mankind!!!
riteshnayak80 yes it would indeed thats (toyota engineering)👌
My father have the 1995 pickup 70 series, still working perfectly till now, and it screams as if it's still brand new, even though he have 890k kilometers on it
This car is exactly my style.
Classy old soul!
Boring and mundane? Nice
amigo...felicitaciones, que bueno es ver que en tu país estén importando vehículos de verdad... estos Land Cruiser han ayudado a crear mi país, son verdaderamente indestructibles...un gran saludo desde Colombia.
IsIs is drooling! Wish we could get in the states
Im a sucker for old suv's like land cruiser 40 , 70 , 80 series are my favourite suv also i love open jeeps it's like my dream car i will buy one Inshallah
This is my dream car, preferably as a pickup truck that very color,,, love it😘, love it!😘
Yep it comes as a pick up. Dual or single cab. 79 series.
Strongest car ever i still have the 1991 landcruisee 70 series and it is still working perfectly
When you come out to central NSW the landcruser is one of he only cars you’ll see. also love your vids mate keep up the good work and can you do a review of a single cab landcruser Ute
CROSSY same in northern WA
@@tst3vens Pretty much ANYWHERE outback, away from major cities. Don't forget the parts network. You can get parts in the smallest of small towns past Woop Woop.
Just like my 33 year old "62" with front coil springs and a V8. ooh..... and ashtrays still! LOVE IT (nearly as much as my original :))!
Snorcal is for keeping your air filter clean while driving through dusty areas also
It's for when your going through deep water mate not to bloody keep dust out
Jordan Quinn That is actually just an air cleaner. It has 5 separate pieces and is not a sealed unit. Owners replace this with a sealed one piece snorkel like a Safari etc.
My guess is that the main purpose of the snorkel is to reduce the amount of dust drawn into the air filters. I understand that these vehicles are commonly used in the mining industry in Australia and so would be driven on dusty roads frequently. Especially when they are driven behind another vehicle that is kicking up a lot of dust, the snorkel, being up high, would cut down substantially on the amount of dust that the air filters need to deal with. There is also what appears to be some kind of dust separator on top of the snorkel.
This is a work vehicle. Nothing fancy about it at all. Built for heavy usage in harsh conditions and reliability. I wish I had one.
I dont mind getting into debt with this one 😎
I have a 1992 Land Cruiser Prado I love these vehicles I can’t wait until I’m ready to buy a brand new one same series
Well this thing is gonna last a good hundred years.
I have a 1995 HZJ75RV from new. It's done an extremely reliable 470,000km on the original factory 1HZ normally aspirated straight six diesel. Still the original driveline and radiator. Still fires up at the first crank (unless battery is on its way out). Fuel consumption is around 11.9 L/100 km, which by today's standards is pretty thirsty of course. But EVERYTHING still works like the day drove it brand new off the dealer's lot. With any luck, I won't need to even consider a rebuild of the engine until 750,000kms or later. This thing is heavy AF but geez it's solid.
Seats 10 people including driver. I've moved sofas, beds, fridges, gym sets, paving bricks etc. The amount of room you get when you fold and lift up the middle row of seats and the two side rows of seats is unbelievable. It just opens up to be a huge cavernous square useable cargo area.
I've slept outstretched in the back on camping trips with great comfort and space. It is an incredibly versatile and capable vehicle. With twin 90L tanks on board, I can safely do at least 1,300km from the 180L or so on board. It's not a rocket, but will happily do 100km/h all day without an issue. Gearing is a bit high though. 100km/h in 5th is about 2400rpm and the engine redlines at 4000 rpm.
This is “the Land Cruiser”...raw yet irreplaceable. I call it the ideal “Service Utility Vehicle”...💪😊
Best truck in the world. Hard to break from engine
5-speed manual is the golden part of these vehicle. And here is my story about these cruisers:
Although I have no experiences with the 70 series, I do have a close relative who owns an `99 ver 100 series with 5 speed mt in China. That thing, ofmg that thing, drives like a literal blast, I absolutely loves it. The name 'land cruiser' make sense because it DON`T GIVE A FUCK about what kind of ground surface below and just runs like nothing. I am actually a lightweight sports car person who usually into miata and lotus, but this big boi gave me a totally different kind of joy. That relative of mine was almost about to get rid of it because he think it`s too old, but I told him how rare a manual with only 50k kliometers is, and he has changed his mind. I think I will buy that vehicle from him later when I got my money up because it`s gonna be nearly impossible to find another one of these in China again!
That is a beautiful master piece!! wish they would bring it to america
The first video on the channel to hit a million views - new milestone.
===
There are two types of Land Cruiser: one made for the everyday driver and the other for off-road usage. The Land Cruiser 70 Series is made for the wild with classic looks and a well built interior.
Yeah I can't believe it its crazy this is the dream I really want one of them so bad.
The only bad thing about this truck is that they can’t sell them to US
why?
@@letzchat321 cuz of the government and their cocksucking companies
U can import it from meddle east
Yeah its super reliable one time my dad was driving it in 1 feet supee soft sand and it didnt have a problem until it tried to get up. But we just used max trax and it went up. I think it was because it was street tires
@@letzchat321 Safety regulations and emissions...on top of what others mentioned. Not to mention thr market would in fact be too nitch to sale a large number (these are 80k used starting and shipped from Japan).
Best four wheel vehicle. Love the classic one than modern one.
As i am from IRAN and iranian , i can say that if we no had this kind of toyota in war with Iraq maybe IRAN lose the game to iraq......very usefull car for any climet and wheather
Iran did lose the war so ....
@@xwhels any one who joining the war is loser .... iran , iraq or western or eastern,,,,,man war is bullshit
@@canfood2176 you're right war is bullshit. If more people thought like we did the world would be a peaceful place.
I have such a car. And a powerful car for potholes, heights and crushing roads
Damn USA getting screwed with no Toyota diesel
U need to ask why that is
Just to let you know it comes V8 diesel and V6 gasoline version (similar and maybe the same V6 engine on Land Cruiser) of this
also a Pickup style or SUV style
@@HksF16 How much is the V8 diesel? and is it a modern engine or still the old design?
@@Yogi5D it costs $42,650, about he engine i don't know sadly but i it will differ from a region to other same as the price
What i liked most of this video is that presenter is "Extremely Humble"
This guy must shoot a lot of guns because he reeeaally knows what they sound like
I wish they sold this model in the US. We're stuck with the soccer--Mom version more suitable for driving to a fine restaurant than going off road or doing any work.
This is my favorite one ever....
Coolest truck I’ve ever seen. I’m not one to buy new cars but this would change everything
Upto 90% of sales of this ride here is in Middle East
overpriced piece of shit
@@captain052A relax...habib
@@chestermill1186 i cant iam trying! this car cost so much toyota is laughing at us. it doesnt cost them 5000$ to make it. its just a metal box with a 1970 engine. and plastic
@@captain052A man you are wrong.......nothing cant beat this model of toyota and nothing can not be toyota , this is not just plastic box , this car is part of history
@@canfood2176 what history? landcruiser was based on jeep. go read its history they copied jeep thats how it started.
The 60 series reincarnated the truck that I have been waiting for
@14:55 that's not a starter motor.
Wiper motor .lol.
Love this. Real car without electronic screens.
Its price in pakistan is 10.25 million rupees its really expensive and really successful model usually used in middle east by arabs.
Still i remember.. my old md has this car from many years. He has more than 25 cars in his garage including Jaguar, Range rover etc. But he drove every day only this car
LOL there's something "murican" can't have and the rest of the world can: the Toyota land Cruiser series 70, the beast.
@tha idealist nop!
Oddly he loves the lc 200 series
@tha idealist hahahaha fucking yanks for ya
tha idealist He hated on the LX570 but then praised the Land Cruiser even though they’re the same price. I don’t understand Doug sometimes. Only true enthusiasts can appreciate the LX570s/Land Cruisers. The 85k price tag is excessive though.
America can't have shit besides crossovers. I live here and it drives me insane as to how many boring ass crossovers you see on the roads.
The Most Simple and yet very very toughest car I know through out my entire life so far.
