Toyota Australia has resumed orders for the auto LandCruiser 70 Series GXL wagon after temporarily suspending sales last year due to supply constraints.
The move means customers can once again order all automatic variants across the 76 Series wagon, 78 Series Troop Carrier and 79 Series cab-chassis ute range.
At the same time, Toyota has updated the 70 Series lineup with the introduction of an AdBlue system to ensure the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine complies with the latest Euro VI emissions regulations.
The system uses selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology, injecting AdBlue into the exhaust stream to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. A new 20-litre AdBlue tank has been added across the range.
On the 76 Series wagon, 78 Series Troop Carrier and 79 Series double cab-chassis, the filler is positioned above the front left guard beneath a lockable flap. Single-cab models locate the filler between the cab and rear wheels on the left-hand side.
The emissions update has not affected engine outputs, with the 2.8-litre unit continuing to produce 150kW, while automatic models retain 500Nm available from 1600-2800rpm. Manual versions produce 450Nm.
One consequence of the update is a reduction in fuel capacity for the 78 Series Troop Carrier, with its combined tank size dropping from 180 litres to 130 litres, bringing it into line with the rest of the 70 Series range.
While automatic variants are once again available to order, Toyota says manual versions remain limited. The five-speed manual continues to be unavailable on the 76 Series GXL Wagon, 78 Series Troop Carrier and 79 Series double cab-chassis, although automatic grades can now be ordered across all three body styles.
Toyota paused orders for selected LandCruiser 70 Series variants in 2025 as demand continued to outstrip supply, particularly for the newly-introduced automatic models. The company says production has now improved sufficiently to allow order books to reopen.
