The 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series Truck

Description

This Toyota truck has a functional hood scoop.

Under the hood is 4.5-liter turbo-diesel V8 that is rated at approximately 198 horsepower. In this case, the engine complies with the Euro-4 emissions standard. It’s mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.

The J79 has a curb weight of around 4,700 lbs. It has a GVWR of around 7,300 lbs. This means the truck can carry around 2,600 lbs of maximum payload. This payload is way more than any midsize truck in the United States. It’s even more than most U.S.-spec half-ton full-size pickup trucks.

The maximum towing rating is around 7,700 lbs. This number matches the towing capacity of many U.S.-spec midsize trucks.

Interior

While the chassis and suspension are old school, the interior is a bit more modern as it needs to comply with the latest safety regulations in many countries around the world.
