@newdimensionfilms Oh i bet i know why, now that I think about it. They may not meet US emissions standards, and may also not meet some safety standards.
They're big, tough as nails vehicles made for extremely tough conditions. But that means they may fail some US tests. (They're sure not that great to drive around a city, i can promise you!) But for a long journey on dirt or no road, they're perfect.
Yep, just as tough. Looks are almost unchanged from earlier models.
The V8 (although the engine is detuned so you can get a million kilometres from them) is a well regarded engine. If you try, you can also get as good as or slightly better mileage than the thee arlier 4.2 motor).
I have a friend in the USA (who has driven these in Australia) and he is beggin for them to be in the USA........
Land Cruiser...a constant benchmark where form always follows function...

here in canada we can at least import JDM diesels if they are 15 years old and i have an HDJ81 cruiser 5 speed. damn its an amazing truck.
i have also owned and sold two 70 series, one swb and one lwb and they are amazing trucks, the 1Hz is a beast as well as the 1HDT
america can keep all their "tough" trucks in their own country thank you!

Does Toyota still make these trucks ? if so what do they look like now we are in 2010 ? Are they still as tough ?

@wescobts they sell them as what you see here in Australia. I feel for you mate. It's not fair. Why can't they sell them all over the place.

even if they did they would add IFS to it and strip the diesel engine and replace it with a petrol engine

Respect vehicle keeping it real on dusty roads, but how does it perform in arctic conditions such as here in northern Sweden?
