Ross,

A two door 100 Series with sliding back windows and barn doors.

Look at the front wheels and there are locking hubs.

I use a 78 series as my current work vehicle (ambulance) according to our fleet ppl the new troopy is 400mm shorter in the back than the current model & now makes it unsuitable for our use........ Our fleet purchasers are now looking elsewhere. Has anyone heard about them being shorter??????

I would expect the 5door 76 series to be shorter than the 78series Troopie, but from the picture, the new troopie looks the same length. But I'm just guessing!

I agree with Phil G . The bit after the rear wheels is about 600mm which is what that looks like.
If it was 400mm shorter it wouldnt have room for 2 sliding windows and it would look like an 84-90 73/74 series

Saw this on another site and thought people may be interested.

WHAT’S COMING:
LandCruiser 76-Series 5D wagon May
LandCruiser 78-Series Troop Carrier May
LandCruiser 79-Series Cab-Chassis May
Kluger SUV (2WD/AWD) July
RAV4 V6 Aug
HiLux TRD Oct
LandCruiser 200-Series wagon Oct

Diesel power will certainly be at the forefront of Toyota’s mind when it offers a
taste-test of a bullocking new V8 turbo-diesel, which is destined to power Toyota’s 100- Series LandCruiser replacement here by late 2007 – but will first debut in the upgraded and expanded 70-Series LandCruiser workhorse range set for release here before June. GoAuto sources indicate a 195kW/620Nm single turbo
version destined for Toyota’s US-market Tundra pickup will power the updated leaf sprung 70-Series models here. Apart from the decades-old 79-Series
cab-chassis ute and the iconic two-door 78- Series Troop Carrier (which will continue in three- six- and 11-seat confi gurations), Toyota will introduce an all-new 76-Series wagon derivative for the first time – complete with five doors, five seats, a lower roof than Troopy and a wider body than 100-Series wagon.
All three trucks will come exclusively with a five-speed manual transmission and part-time 4WD system. Mated to a six-speed Aisin automatic gearbox, an even more powerful twin-turbo version of the 70-Series yet-to-appear 4.5-litre diesel V8 will emerge in the LandCruiser 200-Series, as the 100-Series replacement will be known. With more than 200kW and 650Nm of torque on tap, the standard 200-Series diesel engine will make the 4.2-litre straight-six diesel in the current 100-Series look positively anaemic, but a more powerful 5.0-litre-plus V8 – up from 4.7 and possibly featuring direct-injection – will also power the next-generation Cruiser. Snapped during testing recently in the Middle East, the 200 body will be slightly larger but remains bolted to a full ladder chassis with all-coil suspension, comprising double front wishbones and a live rear axle to maintain rock hopping
ability. It will also debut a version of the Australian-developed Kinetic Dynamic
Suspension System (KDSS) already offered with the US-only Lexus GX470 (Prado).
