Toyota Australia has reopened orders for automatic versions of the LandCruiser 70 Series after pausing selected variants in 2025 due to supply constraints.

The LandCruiser 70 Series GXL Wagon automatic is available to order again, while automatic variants are now open across the 76 Series wagon, 78 Series Troopcarrier and 79 Series pick-up body styles.

The restart follows a pause that affected customer access to some versions of the long-running 4x4, including the variant CarSauce previously covered when orders closed for the 70 Series GXL Wagon automatic.

Toyota has also added a 20-litre AdBlue tank across the range to help the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine comply with Euro VI emissions regulations.

John Pappas, Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations, Toyota Australia, said the production restart would help serve customers that rely on the LandCruiser 70 Series in rural and regional areas.

"After pausing orders for certain LandCruiser 70 Series in 2025 to manage customer expectations around vehicle supply challenges, we are excited to say that order books are now back open," Mr Pappas said.

"The addition of the AdBlue system will also ensure the vehicles meet the latest Euro VI emission standards," he said.

What has changed for the LandCruiser 70 Series

All six-speed automatic versions of the LandCruiser 70 Series are now available to order.

The five-speed manual transmission offered on the 78 Series, 79 Series double-cab chassis and 76 Series GXL remains unavailable for the time being, despite Toyota having previously expanded the 70 Series line-up with a manual gearbox option.

The AdBlue system works with the vehicle’s selective catalytic reduction process, injecting urea into the exhaust stream to help reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.

On the 76 Series, 78 Series and 79 Series double cab-chassis, the AdBlue refuelling port is located above the front-left fender and uses a lockable key lid.

Single cab-chassis grades place the filling port on the left side of the vehicle between the cab and rear wheels.

The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine’s outputs are unchanged, with 150kW produced from 3000rpm to 3400rpm and 500Nm available from 1600rpm to 2800rpm in automatic grades.

The 78 Series Troopcarrier has also had its fuel tank capacity reduced from 180 litres to 130 litres, bringing it into line with other LandCruiser 70 Series variants.

The update keeps Toyota’s automatic LandCruiser 70 Series range on sale under newer emissions requirements, but customers seeking specific manual variants will still need to wait.

Toyota has not confirmed when manual orders for the affected 70 Series variants will resume.
