landcruiser Pickup Truck

[Robert_S]

They are cracking pick ups seen loads in oz, how much is it going for? my hilux has been brilliant it never misses a beat. i was going to go down the 130/110 tipper route next year so i could do away with my tipper and 4x4 but had a drive in a newish 110 today… jeesus the driving position is horrible the steering feels off centre. so a land cruiser pick up may be better option.

Does anyone know if they have gvw of 3.5 ton?

Landys are more than capable of towing 3.5ton I have come to the conclusion towing my 2.8ton digger around, but I keep it under 35 mph and don't force anything. I'm not saying it does it easily but its perfectly capable of it. I really want to use a landcruiser for a week just to see how much better it really is. Comfort doesn't come into it for me, really doesn't fuss me at all where the driving position is or whether it has leather seats and good heating.

Fuel consumption combined (L/100km) 11.5

 

It has a massive 430 nm of torque @ 3400rpm.

 

The engine specs are why they are not produced in the UK & we have the hilux instead.

thats non turbo 4.2

Got specs from Toyota Australia, 4.4 or 4.2 doesn't make a lot of difference on fuel consumption when we pay the best part of 140 a litre in the UK.

a little dearer than here, not much though! there are a few in mines here, another forum member works there, some trucks!

[Kenty]

They are awesome, if I could afford the fuel & importing parts if needed I would have one.

There are a couple of firms in the UK importing them from South Africa but they are usually older ones that have been refurbished & look too good to got to work & get covered in wood chip.
