Title: Toyota Land Cruiser 70
Post by: Ben on August 27, 2014, 10:45:15 AM

I'd never heard of this model of Land Cruiser before. I'm curious as to why they've never offered it in the US. The price is reasonable, especially compared to the US Land Cruiser, and it sounds like it would (or could) easily meet our stupid EPA requirements. It seems like it would be a great US replacement for the FJ Cruiser, which is being discontinued this year.

Probably doesn't pass the safety standards.  ???

Doesn't fit the intended trend toward urban street golf carts.

Its durability is based on its ladder-frame chassis and suspension

Funny how that works  ;)
