Toyota Land Cruiser is a true off-road master. Models of the 70th series became one of the most commercially successful and were produced for a long time. Unlike the 60 Series, which is more focused on comfort, the 70 Series Land Cruiser continued the tradition of previous generations, demonstrating unmatched off-road driving performance. Due to the high popularity and various requests of consumers, many modifications were released: on the basis of this series, classic three- and five-door variants were created, cars with an open trunk, vans, pickups. The so-called "light" series served as the basis for the subsequent appearance of the Land Cruiser Prado.
 As for the main, “heavy” version, at first it was produced in versions with a three-door body with a hard or soft top with different wheelbase options: 2310 mm (indexes 70 and 71) and 2600 mm (73 and 74). The latter were distinguished by an easily removable plastic roof FRP, removing which, you can turn the car into a convertible. Versions with an index of 77, with a wheelbase of 2730 mm and a five-door body with a comfortable interior, have become a classic example of this powerful SUV. In the simplest configuration, the STD lacks many of the usual options, even seat upholstery made of leatherette, front drum brakes and only a manual transmission. A more extended version of the LX suggests the presence of fabric upholstery, power accessories, air conditioning, power steering, central locking. In the top-end configuration, the ZX for the domestic market Land Cruiser has a velor interior, sunroof, headlight washers, a chic radio, two stoves, alloy wheels, a winch.

 Cars for the domestic market were equipped with diesel engines from 3.4 liters to 4.2 liters. The base was an atmospheric 3B diesel engine with a capacity of 98 hp, inherited from the 60th series. The turbocharged 13B-T has a capacity of 120 liters. with. and put on a limited number of modifications. Since 1990, the Land Cruiser began to put engines 1PZ (3.5 liters and 115 hp) and 1HZ (4.2 liters) in versions of 130 and 135 hp On machines of later years of production, only the 1HZ engine was installed. This engine may not have significant power in numbers, but it has good high-torque performance (torque of 284 Nm at 2200 rpm) and is considered the most reliable and unpretentious of Toyota diesel engines. Suspension Toyota Land Cruiser 70 at first was a classic design, passing from generation to generation: fully dependent, front and rear - solid axle axle. However, since 1999, cars of this series began to be equipped with a spring front suspension. All-wheel drive is built according to the PartTime scheme - a rigidly connected front-wheel drive, without an interaxle differential, with freewheels in the front hubs and a reduction gear. The front and rear axles of individual modifications can be equipped with a DiffLock cross-wheel differential or friction on the rear axle.

 The cars of the first batches in safety differed slightly from the 60th series, except that in later versions the rear seats were equipped with three-point belts. In general, the level of security is very low by modern standards. In addition, on high-quality roads with an increase in speed, the “seventies” show their far from the best qualities in the form of increased felling and poor handling. If where this car is able to show itself, then, of course, not on a smooth highway. This generation is considered unsurpassed in terms of overcoming various road elements: dirt, snow, difficult terrain, etc. That is why, despite its utility, the Land Cruiser of the 70th series managed to hold out on the domestic market until 2004. All this allows true connoisseurs of outdoor activities to count on acquiring a car in very good technical condition.
