If they want to introduce something they can, they introduce new models all the time, but I do agree that they won't bring it in in the near future, the market won't buy it.

I'm not debating their ability to introduce a new model, but to introduce a 70 series would require a change of infrastructure that Toyota hasn't engaged in since it stopped importing the FJ40 in the early 1980's.

....back in the saddle again....
I think if you went for a drive in a 1fz petrol cruiser 7x series on and of road you would and seen them tonking through sand @700 rpm with out stalling and keeping up with ease with the traffic you would sell the diesel and get one
most my mates that run 1hzs are allways flakin me
that petys have no torque until the see it idling around the streets in 4th

as a 30 vet Cruiser wheeler i can attest to the virtues of both the gas and the deisel.
a healthy gasser Cruiser can do ANYTHING a healthy diesel Cruiser can do... except they drink twice as much fuel doing so.

Im yet to see any hz diesels even patrols reach some of the places the 1fz has takin me
so im thinking "a healthy gasser Cruiser can easily do ANYTHING a healthy diesel Cruiser can do"
twice as much fuel but injection Aussie gas (propain) sorts that out

Hey Clint,
I wasn't bagging your engine mate. But me, I just love my diesel. I have only ever driven petrol until I got my Cruiser nearly
2 years ago. I love the fact that it is economical, strong and reliable. Years ago a had a Sigma station wagon then a Pajero
.
They were great cars but would drink the juice like a wineo in a bar. Flat out!!! The BJ leaves them for dead economy wise
which is important to me with the fuel prices we currently have. Having said that when I bought my cruiser the price of diesel
went up about 80c in the first few months. Last year the price of diesel peaked at about $1.80ltr where I am.
I'm sure your ute is a kick a$$ ride mate. Its a cruiser
I like the new rims to mate.

something kewl i just noticed is that the 70series has electric mirrors in that pic, also cant work out if that looks like a phone button next to it like a pick up and hang up maybe has bluetooth now? Hey if that dash was in grey like most aussie owners will get a dash matt and few bits and pieces in there and i think it would look quite fine.

Those Mickey T's of yours are cool.
I see alot of H/FZJ's around here. Mostly white, red or grey.
There is a metallic purple one getting around. Fugly.
I am still rethinking wheel rim options. I like my aloys and I think
I'm gonna keep em since I've sorted out my wheel problems.
Time for new rubber soon. Looking at Maxiss muddies or Mickey T's
Cheers.

it is more the driver than the engine. i have watched crappy drivers in modified trucks not be able to accomplish what a good driver can do in a stockish truck.
as for keeping up on the highway, the speed limit makes both pretty even.

Thats what I thought to. My 22 year old 74 has them.

Set and forget.
Being electric its just something else that can got wrong.
