EXTERIOR
The Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series has been consistent with its boxy, rugged, and functional exterior design since making its debut. A few tweaks, like incorporating LED headlights & taillights, have been made, but still, it continues to pay homage to its predecessors. It is not about beauty and drawing attention; its work is just getting things done without any complication. If you want beauty, we can get you the GWM Tank 500.
The Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series is never a complete car without accessories and custom body kits. They make the 76 Series look bossy and adventure-ready. To get a high-quality steel bull bar, a winch, spotlights, heavy-duty side steps, a snorkel, an awning, a platform roof rack, a rooftop tent, a bike carrier, or skid plates, visit: SAFARI SPARES

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series has a utilitarian cabin, largely emphasizing simplicity and practicality. Nothing flashy, nothing extraordinary. It’s just you getting into the car, turning on the Radio to listen to Classic 105 Maina & King’ang’i in the morning, and driving to your destination. If you want a sunroof, heated seats, automatic climate control, and a heated steering wheel, we can get you the Ferrari Purosangue. If your budget is very tight, you can opt for the Jetour X70 Plus.
To add accessories like seat covers, all-weather floor mats, dashboard cover, an overhead console, boot liner, center console organizer, a subwoofer, a larger touchscreen infotainment, or rear entertainment screens, visit: SAFARI SPARES
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series gets interesting when you want to discuss its powertrain, drivetrain, and handling. This is the icing on the cake: not on the highway, because it has a stiff ride quality, but off the tarmac is where boys get separated from real men.
First things first, it has a high ground clearance with elevated angles of approach and departure, it can do river crossings, but don’t forget to add a snorkel unless you want an expensive repair bill from your mechanic on Kirinyaga Road. With low-range gearing, climbing the slopes of Mt. Elgon in Endebess is a proper expedition; don’t forget, with three pedals, you get to feel its driving dynamics. If you are scared of the three pedals, especially when you have to pass the hilly King’ara road in Lavington when going to work, no need to panic; we can get you an automatic transmission. At the same time, if you are looking for a luxurious car that is very good on-road but can still go off-road, you have a good option in the GWM Haval H7.
