Manual gearbox for four-pot LandCruiser 70 Series

Toyota expands LandCruiser 70 Series range with five-speed manual gearbox offering

6 Dec 2024

TOYOTA has introduced a five-speed manual gearbox alternative to the six-speed automatic transmission offered in its now four-cylinder-only LandCruiser 70 Series range (from $75,600 plus on-road costs).

 

The manual transmission is offered on selected 2025 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series variants and is said to “make the most of the four-cylinder engine’s higher torque output with shorter first, second and third ratios to aid start-off performance, and a longer fifth gear to help improve fuel economy and reduce engine noise when cruising at highway speeds”.

 

A new flywheel compatible with a 12-inch clutch has also been adopted for the new powertrain, providing excellent clutch slip resistance, while a triple synchronisation mechanism has been added for the first gear to enhance shifting operability.

 

The final drive ratio also differs at 4.1:1 against the automatic’s 4.3:1.

 

Along with the range of durability-focused engine upgrades applied to four-cylinder grades in late 2023, manual variants further add a dust seal to the rear-end plate to prevent ingress of foreign matter to the release bearing.

 

Apart from the deletion of the front console box due to the packaging of the manual gear shifter, and downhill assist control, all variants equipped with the manual transmission offer the same level of equipment and share the same GCM and towing capacity as their automatic counterparts.

 

Front and rear differential locks remain optional on selected grades ($1500), while premium paint attracts a $675 surcharge.

 

The LandCruiser 70 Series range continues to be powered by Toyota’s 1GD-series 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine developing 150kW of power at 3200-3400rpm and 450Nm over 2400-3000rpm.

 

“When we discontinued the V8 LandCruiser 70 Series earlier this year, we know there were some customers lamenting the absence of a manual gearbox in the range, so we wanted to ensure we were able to offer all our customers a range of powertrain options and this new manual fits the bill perfectly,” said Toyota Australia vice president sales, marketing and franchise operations Sean Hanley.

 

“The strength, capability, towing and off-road performance of the four-cylinder automatic powertrain has already been very well received by customers and the new manual option will further broaden that appeal.”
