Toyota Australia has paused new orders on one LandCruiser 70 Series variant, the GXL Wagon automatic, from 17 July 2025. Toyota says demand is running ahead of its production allocation, and the pause is there to keep wait times from blowing out for buyers already in the queue.
It's this one model only. Every other variant in the 70 Series range is still open to order through Toyota dealers nationwide.
At a Glance
- The order pause on the LandCruiser 70 Series GXL Wagon automatic starts 17 July 2025.
- Every other 70 Series variant, including other GXL and WorkMate body styles, is still available to order.
- Dealers hold some variants in stock for immediate delivery, and new orders on other variants are estimated at approximately two to four months.
- The full 70 Series range runs a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel, with a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic depending on variant.
- Toyota Australia says it's working with parent company Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan to optimise supply levels.
Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations Sean Hanley said the call came out of what buyers went through in earlier supply disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the global semiconductor shortage.
"We never want to be the cause of that frustration again so together with our dealer network, we are committed to carefully managing any supply issues to provide complete transparency for customers when issues outside our control arise," Mr Hanley said.
Mr Hanley also pointed to how well the updated 70 Series has sold since its launch in late 2023. "Since we launched the new four-cylinder LandCruiser 70 Series in late 2023, we have seen its appeal grow for Australian customers with strong demand across the entire range," he said.
The current range covers the GXL Wagon, GXL Troop Carrier, GXL Double Cab Chassis, WorkMate Troop Carrier, WorkMate Double Cab Chassis, WorkMate Wagon and Single Cab Chassis. The WorkMate Wagon and all Single Cab Chassis variants come with the six-speed automatic only. GXL and WorkMate Troop Carrier and Cab Chassis models give you both the five-speed manual and the six-speed automatic.
Toyota says dealers have certain variants ready for immediate delivery from existing stock. New orders on the variants that aren't affected are estimated to arrive within approximately two to four months, depending on the model you pick.
If you're already in the queue for a GXL Wagon automatic, the pause is meant to give your dealer a clearer run at filling that order without the queue growing behind you.
