The factory that only builds white Toyota Land Cruisers

This is why I love my 80 series Land Cruiser (carb, not EFI), it&#x27;s really simple that a lot of maintenance can be done with just wrenches. And the charm of having almost no electronics[1] on the car control is that if something is wrong, you will know it by the sounds it makes, and you will have a lot of times to fix it before it&#x27;s completely toast. I have heard of horror stories about newer cars with electric ABS accumulator that stopped working on the high way, not with my FZJ80[2].<p>[1] The so called &#x27;emission computer&#x27; unit on the car is a simple pulse counter&#x2F;comparator that activates a VSV on the carb to reduce backfire while descending downhill with the foot off the throttle.<p>[2] My brake booster is leaking a little bit, but at least it won&#x27;t suddenly gives up on me while I&#x27;m riding, still looking for a replacement.

I wish we could get these in the US. We lack basic cars anymore. This is why I still drive a 1988 Suburban. Yes, it requires a lot of maintenance (It&#x27;s almost 35 years old!) but it&#x27;s simple, and tough as nails and, in general, simple to repair.

I have a Toyota Land Cruiser here in South Africa with the petrol&#x2F;gasoline engine. Amazing car. It&#x27;s built to last though, so its on-road handling is not as great as modern cars.

They are a very common theme on an IG account dedicated to collecting Toyotas in war zones: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instagram.com&#x2F;toyotasofwar&#x2F;?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instagram.com&#x2F;toyotasofwar&#x2F;?hl=en</a>

It didn&#x27;t happen often but for security reasons in some conflict areas MSF decided to paint their white Land Cruisers in pink to make sure everyone knew who was driving the car. It also made their cars less attractive for thieves.

Lane Cruiser 70s are still very common in Australia and available new. They might be basic and old but they’re not cheap - starting around 80K aud.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toyota.com.au&#x2F;landcruiser-70" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.toyota.com.au&#x2F;landcruiser-70</a>

If you are interested in a current year vehicle that is durable and simple, I recommend looking into the current generation Toyota 4Runner:<p>* body-on-frame construction<p>* reliable and proven engine platform (naturally aspirated v6)<p>* 5 speed auto transmission (modern trannys have like 10 gears bc of emissions)<p>* no fancy hybrid &#x2F; turbo drivetrain that will start breaking after 3 years<p>* big after market so you can customize to your liking (got a bunch of off road toys on mine)<p>Cons:<p>* expensive (though you will save on maintenance and repair costs in the long run)<p>* there is a big demand for these trucks so you might need to stomach a $5K dealer mark up<p>* gas hog<p>* drives like farm equipment compared to a tesla, not refined at all<p>* infotainment is about as modern as the rest of the car<p>Next generation, it will probably go the hybrid &#x2F; turbo route like the tundra.

That&#x27;s a cool story!<p>When I lived in Africa, everyone drove a Land Rover (don&#x27;t remember the model name, though). Damn uncomfortable ride, but you could go <i>anywhere</i>. I think it was also possible to completely dismantle the car, by hand, so it could be portaged around.

Video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_Z_V5ggUo2Y" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_Z_V5ggUo2Y</a><p>I had no idea, amazing. Old school, long-lasting, reliable. Is there a car for us &quot;normies&quot; that is like this? Being a swede, I would say the Volvo 240.

I <i>love</i> land cruisers, in particular I&#x27;m attracted to the design ethos. Every series and every style. I have a land cruiser sticker on my laptop for that reason. In a society of throw away automobiles, here&#x27;s something built to withstand. Miss my 250k+ mile 80 series we got rid of because we needed to go down to one car. As soon as I need another 2nd vehicle it&#x27;ll be a land cruiser (or Lexus LX) or Land Cruiser Prado (Lexus GX here in the states).

Fascinating. I hope someone makes a similar EV vehicle without all the bells and whistles.

When I was young, we did a unit in Japan in school. I remember specifically that white cars were a thing. Like virtually every privately owned auto in Tokyo was white.

How about a mainly analog Toyota EV with no bells and whistles? I absolutely do not want a giant touchscreen interface.

I visited Nepal a few years back and it was amusing seeing the UN drive these massive shiny land cruisers while everybody else was drying cars a bit smaller than a 90s civic. Optics matter, and maybe a Hilux or RAV4 would have suited the environment better

those are also a key tool in &quot;modern warfare&quot;. because it could be supplied very early on before any weapon, since technically they are not a weapon. when war started in libya, qatar sent hundreds of those to the terrorists to fuel the war.

Old Land Cruisers have been my &quot;dream car&quot; since I first rode on one on Mt. St. Helens in 1998, and really saw what they can do.

The stark white Toyota is really a symbol. Had no idea they are going to Ukrine too.

Is it possible to buy one in North America?

This is amazing. I wish more car companies had this focus. I would bet all in, it’s more green than other cars. Emission standards tend to be poorly thought out.

Are we talking about the same Land Cruiser? In my home country, Indonesia, Land Cruiser is a luxury car. It sounds like in US or other countries it&#x27;s like Honda Civic level.

I wonder if the lower emissions are really worth it if the car breaks down sooner.<p>All the electronics and gimmicks to lower immediate emissions at the cost of reliability.<p>My car, for instance, turns off the engine when stopped, that can&#x27;t be good for the engine and battery.<p>If saves a bit of gas but I am sure I&#x27;ll have to change my battery sooner, not to mention the wear and tear on other components.
