2018 Toyota Landcruiser VDJ79R Dual Cab Chassis - White - 153,472km - Turbo Diesel V8, Manual, 4WD
Overview
The Toyota Landcruiser VDJ79R represents the pinnacle of Australian workhorse engineering. This 2018 dual cab chassis variant combines the legendary reliability of the 79 Series platform with genuine dual-cab practicality, making it equally at home on remote station tracks or as a capable tow vehicle for serious work. The VDJ79R is the final generation of the iconic 79 Series, produced until 2024, and remains one of the most sought-after commercial vehicles in the Australian market. This example presents as a genuine working tool with honest kilometres and authentic patina.
The white exterior shows the expected character of a vehicle that has earned its kilometres. Paint holds good gloss across all panels with minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge and front bumper, consistent with highway and outback use. Panel gaps are even and body lines straight. The dual cab configuration provides genuine five-seat comfort with a full-length chassis behind, offering the flexibility to run either a tray or custom fitout. Wheels are shod in all-terrain rubber appropriate to the vehicle's purpose. The interior presents with honest wear to the leather-appointed seats and dashboard, reflecting genuine use rather than neglect. The driving environment is functional and straightforward, with manual windows, mechanical controls, and a no-nonsense approach to cabin design that prioritises durability over frills.
At 153,472 kilometres, this Landcruiser sits in the sweet spot for a working vehicle of this age. The 4.5-litre turbocharged V8 diesel engine is the legendary 1VD-FTV unit, producing 151kW and 430Nm, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and full-time four-wheel drive. This powertrain combination is proven across millions of kilometres globally and remains the benchmark for reliability in harsh conditions. The turbo diesel engine is known for longevity well beyond 300,000 kilometres when maintained, and this example shows no signs of distress. Engine bay is clean and organised, with all fluid levels accessible and topped up. The undercarriage shows light surface oxidation typical of a vehicle that has seen genuine work, but no structural rust or corrosion of concern. Suspension components are original and present well, with yellow coil springs visible and in good order.
In the current market, 79 Series Landcruisers command strong prices, with dual cab examples typically ranging from $55,000 to $75,000 depending on condition and kilometres. This example, at 153,472km with honest wear and a clean mechanical presentation, sits comfortably in that range and represents genuine value for a buyer seeking a proven, capable platform for work or adventure. The manual transmission and mechanical simplicity are increasingly valued in an era of electronic complexity, and the five-speed gearbox paired with the turbo diesel offers excellent torque delivery and fuel efficiency for a vehicle of this size and capability.
