2017 Toyota Landcruiser VDJ79R Single Cab Utility - White - 180,000km - 4.5L V8 Diesel, 4WD Manual
non running vehicleOverview
The Toyota Landcruiser VDJ79R represents the pinnacle of utilitarian 4WD engineering, and this 2017 example is a genuine workhorse built for serious off-road and remote area operations. The VDJ79R is the final generation of the legendary 79 Series, powered by Toyota's bulletproof 4.5-litre V-angle 8-cylinder diesel engine paired with a robust 5-speed manual transmission. This single cab configuration prioritises payload and tray space, making it ideal for rural, mining, or agricultural applications where durability and load capacity are paramount. At approximately 180,000 kilometres, this vehicle has earned its service record in the field.
The white exterior shows the honest patina of a working vehicle. The paint is faded and weathered across all panels, consistent with outdoor exposure and regular use. The cab structure is sound, though the door panels display minor dents and the overall finish reflects genuine working life rather than showroom condition. The tray is functional but shows significant surface rust and corrosion typical of a utility that has carried loads and weathered the elements. The chassis and undercarriage exhibit heavy oxidation and rust development, which is material and should be factored into any restoration or ongoing use plans. Bumpers are worn and corroded. The interior trim is worn, and seat upholstery shows age-appropriate wear. This is a vehicle presented as-is, with no cosmetic pretence, suitable for a buyer seeking mechanical reliability and working capability over presentation.
The 4.5-litre V-angle diesel engine is legendary for longevity and torque delivery in remote and demanding conditions. The 5-speed manual transmission is simple, robust, and field-serviceable. Four-wheel drive with manual locking differentials provides genuine off-road capability. At this price point and condition, this Landcruiser represents affordable access to one of the world's most respected utility platforms. Comparable 79 Series utilities in similar condition trade in the $8,000 to $14,000 range depending on mechanical condition and tray configuration.
