They aren't very offroad friendly with those huge headlights, they look like they would only last 2 or 3 trips before breaking a lens

The new Land Cruiser will be available with an all-new twin- turbocharged 4.5-litre D-4D V8 diesel engine related to the single- turbo version launched on the 70-series model this year. It will drive through a new six-speed automatic transmission. The engine develops 650Nm from 1600 to 2800rpm and a maximum of 215kW at 3600rpm.

That sounds like a real stump puller......good winch truck engine

All the rest of the goodies makes for no trail side repairs up Thompsons Track :lol:

I've been thinking for a while that one of these twin turboed versions would go nicely in my KZJ-71 Hmmmm
