CarTell take
We haven't driven the LandCruiser 70 yet. On paper, ANCAP rating is 3 stars on Wagon and Troop Carrier (2024 protocol), Single Cab cab-chassis remains unrated. Auto only available on the 2.8 four-cylinder.
Why consider it
- Live rear axle, front and rear diff locks, part-time 4WD with low range.
- 4.5L V8 turbo-diesel still available, only mainstream V8 ute on sale.
- 3,500 kg braked tow with 3,300 kg GVM, payload to match the tow rating.
What to know
- 3-star ANCAP on Wagon and Troop Carrier, behind newer 4WDs.
- Cabin remains narrow with vinyl floors and basic comfort even on GXL.
- V8 fuel use sits at 10.7 L/100 km combined.
Who it suits
Mining and fleet buyers, remote-area tourers, big-tow operators and cab-chassis builders who want decades of fleet durability with diff locks and a live rear axle.
