Toyota LandCruiser 70: payload, towing and specs
15 variants in our database, from $75,600 to $83,500 list.
The Toyota LandCruiser 70 is sold as both a ute and a wagon — single cab, double cab, wagon and Troop Carrier — seating two or five, from $75,600 to $83,500 list, rated to tow up to 3,500kg. Readers weighing it up usually also look at the Ford Ranger Super Duty, Ineos Quartermaster and Ford Everest. Its payload and towing push it past the usual dual-cab class and into territory shared with the Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra, RAM 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

What each variant can actually carry
Worked out for a typical touring load: two people, 150kg of gear and 150kg of accessories. “Spare payload” is what is left after that. “Max trailer” is the heaviest trailer that load still allows, which is usually well under the headline towing rating because GCM and towball weight both take their cut.

Fuel and touring range
The official ADR 81/02 figure is measured unladen, at low speed, on smooth tarmac. We lift consumption by 40 per cent to allow for the weight, the all-terrains, the bar and the dirt, then divide what is usable in the tank by that — leaving 5 litres in it, because planning to run a tank dry is how you end up walking. Where we have measured a vehicle ourselves we use our own figure instead. A plug-in hybrid’s claim assumes a full battery, which is gone within the first hour of a long drive, so it gets multiplied by five rather than 1.4.

Can it clear the gaps?
Against the longest stretch between fuel on each leg, using the GXL’s touring range of 930km — which already allows for a loaded 4WD and leaves 5 litres in the tank. Carrying fuel changes everything below; so does a headwind, soft sand and a heavy right foot.

- Birdsville Track Marree to Birdsville Clears it 532km gap, 398km spare
Distances are OTA’s own, last checked October 2026. Roadhouses close without notice. Never plan a remote crossing on one tank alone.
Against the longest stretch between fuel on each leg, using the GXL’s touring range of 930km — which already allows for a loaded 4WD and leaves 5 litres in the tank. Carrying fuel changes everything below; so does a headwind, soft sand and a heavy right foot.

Off-road geometry and dimensions
Angles and clearance are the manufacturer’s, measured at kerb weight on standard tyres. Load the back of a ute and the departure angle goes with it.

Compare the Toyota LandCruiser 70
Pick a rival. Bars are scaled to the highest figure among this vehicle and the 10 rivals listed above, so the longest bar on each row is the best of that group rather than simply the better of two.
Comparing the WorkMate with the Super Duty. Each model is represented by the variant nearest its own median price, so every figure in a column comes from the same vehicle rather than the best one of each. See the full line-up.
