The 79 Series Landcruiser Trayon Slide On Camper
The 79 Series Landcruiser and Trayon Due to it’s off road prowess and reliability, the 79 Series is a very popular choice for off road touring with a Trayon dual cab slide on camper. We’ve fitted many a Trayon to Landcruiser’s which have traversed the most remote corners of the planet, from the Kimberley in Australia, to the African Savanna, all the way to the icy cold roads of Europe and Alaska!!!Here you can find the 79 series review. This 79 Series Landcruiser review is based on our in depth experience with the Landcruiser range. We’ve been building off road campers for 25 years! Not far off the 33 year Outback reign of the Landcruiser.
Today’s 79 Series LandcruiserUte Today’s range includes three variants. The Workmate (the no frills version), GX and GXL (containing a few extra bells and whistles). There are two different body styles. The dual cab and the single cab chassis. The dual cab only comes in the Workmate and GXL variants, while the single cab chassis comes in all three variants; Workmate, GX and GXL. In 2017, the 79 Series Landcruiser had a range of updates, the first in four years. The dual cab took out the 2017 4×4 Australia winner of the year, demonstrating why it is still the off road king! Throughout this review we discuss the implications of these updates.
79 Series Landcruiser Interior Features The interior of the 79 Series Landcruiser is basic and unaffected by the race for style and tech. You can expect all the essentials nestled into a nice sized dash. Radio and CD systems, air vents, a power antenna, USB and auxiliary input, a clock, plus MP3 and bluetooth connectivity. Seats are basic, with limited adjustability, but the height of a Landcruiser matched with it’s almost vertical windscreen create very good view out across the hood. The GXL variant has a few extra trimmings, like cloth trim and carpet flooring, power windows, central locking, and remote keyless entry. In the dual cab range the back bench seats provide sufficient room for passengers (albeit with limited leg room, waist style seat belts only, and no rear air vents). The real surprise is that air conditioning is still not standard, and is a hefty $2700 dealer fitted option (plus it’s not climate control). Add this to the retro looking radio buttons and ventilation controls (which are the same as they were in 1984), and it really does feel like your in a car meant for one thing only – hard yakka.
79 Series Landcruiser Exterior Features The great thing about the 79 Series Landcruiser is the way it has retained that retro look. It is a look associated with the Outback, and contributes to its continuing iconic reputation. The no frills Workmate variants have a simple, work focused feel. The extent of their style is a black front bumper and radiator grille. They come standard with rear mudflaps and steel side steps. The GXL variants are slightly more imposing with wheel arch flares, and a chrome grille. They also come with aluminium side steps and front mudflaps.
Off Road Capabilities With auto-locking hubs, front and rear live axles, front coil springs, rear leaf springs and an impressive low-range gearing of 44.1:1 in first gear, there won’t be too many places you’ll get stuck. Turn off traction control (to prevent loss of power to slipping wheels) and you have an ‘access all areas’ machine! A long clutch is perfect for balancing power while traversing rough terrain, and an idle-up button can be pressed to stop revs dropping too low. The standard snorkel is ready for water crossings and standard 265/70R16 tyres come more than enough sidewall.
Touring Australia in a Landcruiser Ute The 79 Series Landcruiser is an off road touring specialist. Not necessarily in comfort, but in capability, resilience and longevity. So, the choice to go with a Cruiser is horses for courses. We like to explain it like this: We would much rather spend 12 hours on the highway in a Hilux, than a 79 Series, because comfort is not what the 79 Series workhorse was made for. But, we would much rather spend 12 hrs on the Canning Stock Route in the 79 Series Landcruiser, because we can be confident it will make it. Yes, you can upgrade a mid range four wheel drive like a Hilux to take on the rough roads like the Canning, but you’ll flinch at every bump because you know at any moment something could go wrong. With a Landcruiser, you have more confidence and peace of mind in that kind of country.
