Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / June 2009LC70 V8 TD 4500
Hi, Does anyone here own or is waiting for the new cruiser 79Series ute as i am in australia waiting for mine to be built out of japan. Are there any issues with this new vehicle that other people have had or should be aware of prior to delivery. Oh, and whats with the holdup on these babies ? John C Bris-vegas > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > John C > Bris-vegas Got a link? You Aussies get a lot of models we don't get in the States,or else you get something called a "Surf" while the same thing here is a "4-Runner" >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > else you get something called a "Surf" while the same thing here is a > "4-Runner" The Toyota Truck line, everywhere else (other than North America), are called Hi-Lux. "Surf" is a subcategory, where in NA it's just a 4Runner. Like everywhere else in the world, Diesel is much cheaper than Gas. The 4500 (4.5L) Turbo Diesel engines have been out for a while, and I have not heard of any issues. I wonder if the 79 Series is the FJ Cruiser? > The Toyota Truck line, everywhere else (other than North America), are > called Hi-Lux.

I wonder if the 79 Series is the FJ Cruiser? Hi Rastamon, Yes Diesel here in oz is abit cheaper sometimes and of late it was cheaper but in the last week has gone up to match the price of petrol(Gas) The 79 i am referring to is the Landcruiser ute model in the 70 Series range or pickup as you fella's call em. The LC79 has the 4500 D4-D v8 TD intercooled engine.....

The 70 Series were out in the late 1980's. I've seen the 4500TD engine in the LC Prado (Lexus GX470) and the 90 Series LC. Typically diesel engines have bad smoking problems after 5 years, but the Toyota and Nissan Diesels don't seem to have that problem, unless poorly maintained. > I did not think they still make the series 70.

The LC70 Series is only new and was released in april 2007 So you are incorrect. John C >> I did not think they still make the series 70. The 70 Series were out in >> the late 1980's.

In most parts of Asia, Middle-East, Europe and North America, Series 80 and 90 are more common. >>> Hi, >>> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > http://www.toyota.com.au/commercial Is that the 'Workmate Cab & Chassis"? Not a model we get here. The GXL is out, too. When it comes to Landcruiser, we get... http://www.toyota.com/sem/landcruiser.html?srchid=K610_p2663005 http://www.atozautolights.com/images/AutoPhotos/TOLA9807.jpg Last one I saw was when I was working for a Toyota dealer, a 2006 with a price tag of USD65,000!!! We don't get the Prado. We don't get ANY of the models on the page you sent. As a matter of fact, I just saw an older one today, probably a mid-80's with a Diesel. We don't get many Toyota Diesels here at all. It was the first one I've seen. >>>> Hi, >>>> [quoted text clipped - 40 lines] > We don't get the Prado.

Well, except my Scion tC, of course. >>> http://www.toyota.com.au/commercial >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> with a Diesel. We don't get many Toyota Diesels here at all.

We have the bodies here, but not the "LandCruiser". Um, send me some gas when you get the refinery closed, OK? >>> The ute in the link i sent was a GXL >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >>>> with a Diesel.

Like Hachi, I'm not sure what models are but the dealers here last time I checked say to figure a minimum of 10 weeks to special order from factory - they usually try to talk you into getting something that is in some dealers inventory that "close" to what you want.

I ordered my new Landcruiser VDJ79R with the TD 4500 D4-D engine(1VD-FTV) on the 10th june and was told it would be an august build and delivered in sept. It would be great to get one of their "close" to what i wanted vehicles but i ordered the GXL wich has all the fruit(options) and factory diff locks so its gotta come off the assembly line coz they normally dont come with diff locks front and rear. They had very few GX models(model below GXL) and a few more Workmates(povo pack-lower again) but the difference in $$ was only $3000 from the lowest to the GXL so it was a no-brainer. I was very dissapointed that when ordering a nearly $70K(AUD) vehicle that there were none available as the C70 Series was released in April 2007 and they still have not been able to cater production for the demand to this date. Mine will have Air/con, ARB Bullbar, Towbar, genuine Difff Locks front and rear.
