Dual Cab 79 Series Cruiser

Toyota parts availability is dependent on WHAT you need, and where you need it. Break something that the local dealer doesn't stock and it doesn't matter what you're driving, and my experience with various makes is Toyota is one of the worse to get stuff ordered in. Rear axle, brake drum and wheel bearings for a current Hiace, nil stock Australia so the van was stuck in the workshop for 4 WEEKS. This is a major fleet operator vehicle in a major city dealer.
In saying that, I'd rather a Patrol for remote area work these days.

This man ^ knows.

Yes, but.... I'm talking about your average small time place in the bush.

Choose a small to medium sized place like Fitzroy Crossing or Blackall or the like. Neither are mining towns (yet) but I dare say you could get simple shit sorted there faster with a cruiser than a landrover.

Toyota dealers shit me off but I still own 2 of them
