The newest member of the Land Cruiser 70 range will be fitted with the proven 4.2 litre 6 cylinder diesel engine. This engine delivers 96 kW at 3 800 rpm and 285 Nm of pulling power from 2 200 rpm. As with its siblings the 78 Wagon will offer a differential lock, five speed gearbox and four wheel drive system with hardy low range transfer box.
The new Land Cruiser 78 Wagon, in step with its never-say-die build quality and its application as personnel carrier, bush hospital and overland vehicle, will be fitted with hard wearing vinyl seat cover and moulded urethane plastic trim. The roof lining will also feature a moulded shape to offer more head room and easier cleaning.
This does not mean that it will not offer the usual safety features and creature comforts. The 78 Wagon will be offered with two airbags, air conditioning, central locking and adjustable steering column.
Under the skin the new Land Cruiser 78 Wagon will offer the same ladder frame chassis and rigid axle set-up of its brothers, while boasting two fuel tanks for a combined fuel carrying capacity of 180 litres. The vehicle is fitted with 16” steel wheels and full sized spare wheel.
On the business end of the Land Cruiser 78 Wagon’s résumé is its undisputed off road capabilities. The vehicle offers an approach angle of 38 degrees, a departure angle of 25 and a ground clearance of 235 mm.
The Wagon’s unique three door layout means that the vehicle offers a 1 245 mm x 1 510 mm load area. The Land Cruiser 78 Wagon is available in Ivory White or Sand Beige at a recommended retail price of R450 800.
