In our latest video, we check out a one-of-a-kind Toyota Land Cruiser 79 that packs a 350 kW punch!
The Toyota Land Cruiser 79 is a living legend, but let’s face it, it’s hard to live with. The awesome folks at US Trucks decided they might be able to improve on this age-old formula, and build something special.
With a revised turbo and management, power is up from 151 kW to a staggering 350 kW, with torque nearly doubling to 880 Nm. But the big news is an auto-swop, which until recently is something Toyota has never offered from factory.
Additional nice touches include a 13-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple Carplay, as well as modified elbow-rests with cupholders and even USB ports! Certainly beats the after-market radio that the car comes fitted with as standard.
And then of course there is the new front-end treatment which totally modernises the look of the vehicle
We absolutely love this conversion and we salute the folks at US Trucks for pursuing their vision, and we have no doubt this is going to be a popular conversion for Land Cruiser lovers in SA.
