Toyota Land Cruiser 75 Series Diesel Troop Carrier

proper 4x4,the best

NOTHING WILL EVER BE AS GOOD AS A 75 SERIES TROOPY.

ITS IN A LEAGE OF ITS OWN. MINE IS SET UP AS A SLEEPER AND I TAKE IT ALL OVER AUSTRALIA, BUSH, DESERT AND BEACH. ITS NEVER LET ME DOWN. I HAVE JUST BEEN UP TO THE DESERT AREA OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA DOING BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY AND IT NEVER MISSED A BEAT.

The Toyota Land Cruiser 75 Series Diesel Troop Carrier is a super car. strong and endurable but parts are expensive and difficult to find.

We have 10 troopies (Toyota Land Cruiser 75 Series Diesel Troop Carrier) in our hire fleet - toyota still build the best 4x4 if service regular.

Solid, rugged, reliable, Toyota tuff.

Large inside, good all rounder. Great camper/tourer.

good beast for touring, but not the best for round town driving,but what rear 4x4 is!

We run tours on Toyota Land Cruisers we have several 80 series and recently I purchased 75 which we used for one of our expeditions in Mongolian Gobi desert and I would say the only thing which didn't satisfy me on 75 is not stable at all! We were driving 80 series on the dirt road not so fast but still 75 couldn't keep up with us cause the handling wasn't so good cause of the short wheel base. It would needed to slow down much more on most of the part of the road then 80 series would plus of it's leaf springs make's the the bumps much tougher then coiled 80 series. Otherwise it's a decent camping or support vehicle for me.

I have owned the Toyota Land Cruiser (and it's a truck) for 13 years. It had 90K, hard use and used body when I got it. It now has 400K worse body and is getting near the end, but what a truck. I put extractors early in the piece, replaced rear diff, shocks etc. and prop shaft along the way, did all the oil changes etc, serviced fuel pump and thats it. Steers well, had great gearing, average brakes, user friendly access and spares (just don't go over 120). I advise wider tyres than standard and you will go anywhere. I have done the hardest Cape York tracks, beaches, mountains rivers fully loaded for years. Not a speedster or a comfort machine but as reliable, practical and economical as you want. The engine will pull loads up any hill in 4th that other more fancied will do in 3rd. Finally the rust and old age creeps in and the 7K I need to spend will go into a newer model with coil front suspension and longer rear leafs. Can't beat the balance, versatility and guts of this. I always had Landies before.

For a rugged, reliable, user friendly, long lasting, practical, and fun vehicle the troopy is unsurpassed. The latest model with the V8 etc I don't think can replicate. Late models will become sought after very soon.

I down-graded from the 80 series as found the Toyota Land Cruiser 75 Series Diesel Troop Carrier to have much more grunt when I needed it. We've never ever had to worry weather the troopy would do the job or leave us stranded. The question is are we able to handle what theseI down-graded from the 80 series as found the Toyota Land Cruiser 75 Series Diesel Troop Carrier to have much more grunt when I needed it. We've never ever had to worry weather the troopy would do the job or leave us stranded,the question is are we able to handle what these troopies can.the best 4x4 on the road by far and will always leave those fancy 4x4's behind. The fact that it has never changed alone should speak for itself as you can't get better realiabilaty than the troopy. can.the best 4x4 on the road by far and will always leave those fancy 4x4's behind.

You have to drive one to understand and I don't mean just on tar roads.

I use my vehicle to accomplish difficult recoveries of stolen vehicles that somehow and up being taken to hard to get to places by people who have no regard or care of the stolen vehicle they have taken.This car earns its keep as well as being my day to day vehicle. I wouldn't leave home without. I have had roughly 65 offers to sell my vehicle and have refused them all. I really could see myself owning this vehicle for the next 25 years. As when it arrived from Japan it had only ever seen the sun. Covered 200,000kms and is still running driving, and looks about 3 years old. Just like they used to do when car manufacturers cared about how long your car should last. A 2.4 litre turbo engine is known as an engine that is bullet proof with regular oil changes. I have serviced these vehicles for the last 20 years and they don't require new components replacing other than general service items as long as you keep on top of them they don't let u down. I let my wife use it at weekends and it actually ended up being used as a rescue vehicle for some mountain climbers in wales. One year at the Glastonbury event I earned £700 towing vehicles of the car park that were submerged in water halfway up their doors. Drove mine out of water like a walk in the pond. These vehicles will become very hard to find in years to come. Buy one now whilst you still can. Three thousand pounds will get you a good one.

I hate it so much - it nearly flipped over when I went off-road. I would suggest an Isuzu Trooper.
