New Landcruiser Ute

Submitted: Saturday, Dec 02, 2006 at 21:35

goingplatinumcomau

I do not have a great deal of information as of yet however as far as I know the vehicle will be released toward the end of the first quarter next year. Apparantly it will embrace all new engine technology with a 4.7 V8 Turbo Diesel which as you can imagine will reset the bench mark for others to follow.

There quoteing $55000 now for current model almost the same as a wagon.

maybe Toyota are brining the Tundra out here with the option of a 4.7L petrol engine or a 4.4TD V8 - makes more sense. The 2007 Tundra in the US also has a 5.7L V8 petrol engine option.

Supposedly spotted in the ME somewhere. They have been testing the 200 series wagon around Bahrain(sp) so it maybe true.

Ugly it might be but it'll grow on ya like a good woman, besides it is not looks that do the work
Like the Yaris when they first come on the market I thought what an unattractive piece of crap that is but now if I were to be in the market for a car Yaris would be it

Someone else reckoned its the real thing but some of the body modifications they do to landcruisers in the ME makes me suspect its a custom job.
We will see

Spoke with a dealer on the weekend who said the release date was late March. He had a photo of the 4 door troopy (bit different to Ross's) which was a wider, slightly more rounded version of the 79 (without the high roof). In line with Toyota's current policy I'd describe it's looks as pretty bland & outdated. He didn't have the full specs yet but it was earmarked to get a single turbo V8. The twin turbo V8 that has been mentioned is apparently for the up spec wagon replacement. (no release date on that)
A 4 door solid axle V8 turbo diesel........ I'd suggest Nissan will have a little bit of trouble matching that :-)

You will be disappointed if you're a die-hard Toyota fan, Crackles.... Nissan will be using a 4.5L V6 turbo-diesel from Navistar International with similar power and torque to the Toyota 4.4 - but if you are like me, and just want more choices of good cars on the market, you will see that both of them will be a much better improvement to what we have now...and with Ford getting a 4.4L TDV8 for F150 and F250 coming out soon with a 6.4L TDV8 - all these choices are going to be awesome - especially when they hit the second hand market.

The so called 4dr troopy will be what has been known as HZJ77 since 1990 in Japan ,really nothing to do with a troopy. Probably more like a stretched BJ70.
The windscreen back is the same as a LJ78
The pic is the old model 77
