In the domestic RV market, the off-road models are mainly four-wheel pickup chassis, but I am afraid these models can only be regarded as "entry-level". It is still competent to provide better stability occasionally on bad roads or in rainy and snowy weather. If you really cross the mountains, you have to rely on professional off-road vehicles. When it comes to real hard-core off-road vehicles, we have to mention the land cruiser (LC series) from Toyota. Bian Xiao will take you to see an Australian manufacturer's land patrol roof-lifting RV today to see how people play.

First of all, introduce Toyota Land Patrol. Among the off-road vehicles currently in production, the LC series since 1984 was called "living fossil". Unlike most modern off-road vehicles, it pursues the ultimate off-road crossing capability. Non-load-bearing body, integral bridge-type non-independent front and rear suspension and other designs are simple but durable, which greatly improves the stability of the whole vehicle driving on complex roads for a long time.

Although the appearance is so retro, it is not a classic car, and the appearance of the whole car has not changed much since its birth. There is also a classic power system that has been handed down. The 4.5LV8 diesel D4D engine code-named 1GR is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum horsepower of 23 1Ps and a maximum torque of 360 N m. There is no automatic transmission and no full-time or timely four-wheel drive. The combination of manual gearbox and mechanical transfer four-wheel drive provides a strong ability to get rid of difficulties, but it also requires high driving skills.

It is different from the relatively common five-door standard LC76 model. This RV is modified from LC78 and has a three-door+rear cabin structure. The size of the whole vehicle is 5400* 1850*2300mm, and the larger space is its advantage, which can provide more space for the daily use of the RV. The side of the car body is equipped with an external extraction furnace with integrated water tank, which is convenient for cooking some simple meals outside the car to avoid polluting the environment inside the car.

The front and rear driver's seats in the car retain the original car design without any major changes. Entering the trunk from the tailgate, the combination of sofa and furniture has turned the trunk into a small single room. On the left is the multi-function console. Drawers and lockers can store many daily necessities. A 50L refrigerator, a 50L clean water tank and two gas cylinders are hidden under the cabinet to provide food and energy reserves for travel. Various switches and power sockets on the cabinet are arranged in turn, and the simple and direct style is unified with the original car.

The L-shaped sofa on the right can rest when parking, and the bottom space is also perfectly used. The front is the space of the stove, the battery and inverter are hidden in the middle, the back cushion is a portable toilet, and the opening of the black water tank is located on the right side of the carriage.

Thanks to the lifting mechanism, the longitudinal height of the carriage reaches 1900mm, which is convenient for daily life. The ceiling is equipped with a detachable bed board, which is a double bed after opening, with the size of 1900* 1200mm. If two people sleep too crowded, the sofa can also be made into a bed, the size is 1900* 1000mm, and it is no problem for two people to live.

The above are some basic information of Toyota Land Patrol Camping RV. The domestic parallel price of LC78 is more than 800,000 yuan, and the price of this Australian manufacturer's model, including the redesigned model, is less than 600,000 yuan, which is really enviable. Seeing this, some people may say that Bian Xiao used foreign RVs to fool people. Bian Xiao can't help asking, this LC78 also has many off-road hobby cars in China. Is anyone really willing to transform this classic model like this?
