This Is The "New" Toyota Land Cruiser For Humanitarian Efforts
This Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series may look classic, but it's the newest SUV designed for organizations like the United Nations.

Depends on the scale you’re using I guess. The 70 Series, including the 76 Series, are viewed as “tools” worldwide (in my humble option) and are basically used in that regard. The 80 and 105 are not.

Nothing more nothing less. I like the 78 (troopy) and 79.
My issue specifically though is with the 76.
I feel the 80/105 can do everything the 76 can and most likely even better.
Too bad we can't still ge them new...but did you know that almost happened?

The 105 with a V8 would be nice.
The closest vehicle we have to a modern day comfortable off road wagon with the same philosophy as the 80/105 is the Y61 Nissan Patrol. ( Y61 is Still in production since late 1997 but will be discontinued soon)
excellent vehicles but the build quality and fit and finish is not up to Land Cruiser standards.
the driveline/diffs/gears are very tough and more overbuilt than the Land Cruiser in some areas. ( though the frame has its weak points around the coil towers)
Mechanically it is excellent and I always wanted one but Nissan interior/body quality is a big NO for me.

Interestingly the Single cab 79 went from 2*90L to 1*130L fuel tank, like the double cab and 76.
This is probably why we saw a lot of pictures of 79 in single tank configuration. With the new 2.8 it may be enough for a reasonable fuel range (and the people that want to go crazy install aftermarket fuel tanks anyway) and avoids the issue of the relocation spare wheel on the pickup where you don't have a door to fit it.
I may be in the minority but I vastly prefer the “scooped” hood over the current version.
It is not a deal killer to me if there is a hood scoop or not but I will say the previous gen with or without a hood scoop looks better than the current gen without the hood scoop.
Knowing that glorious V8 is hidden below the scoop makes me a tad biased towards that hood.

Great to see also the base HZJ76 retains no trip computer or fancy new 40-style dash. I like.
