The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series is the style of Land Cruiser that Toyota has been producing since 1984. It is the most popular Land Cruiser model manufactured by the Japanese company, and it replaced the 40 series after a twenty-five year production run and became the ﾔworkhorseﾕ of the production line. While other series of the Land Cruiser are available, they are the more luxurious versions of the truck, designed more for comfort and less for the work environment the 70 Series is best known for. The 70 Series Land Cruiser has become known the best for its off-road capabilities and durability that its predecessor 40 Series was known for.
There are three wheelbase versions of the Toyota 70 Series Land Cruiser that consumers can purchase. Series models 70 through 74 were the short and medium wheelbase versions of the Land Cruiser, and they were the ones that initially replaced the popular Series 40. 75 through 77 are the long wheelbase and are available in a pick-up truck, 2 door troop carrier, and 4 door wagon style. They replaced the lesser used long wheelbase vehicles of the Series 40. Finally models 78 and 79 were introduced in 1999 as the long wheelbase models and in 2007 the 76 model which is the 4 door wagon. The short wheelbase models were never produced for the American market and are only available in a few international markets and Toyota Land Cruiser’s main competiter isMitsubishi Pajero.
