South African armoured-vehicle specialist SVI Engineering’s sister company, Ulterio Motiv, which specialises in six-wheel conversions for both commercial and recreational use, has showcased its six-wheeled Land Cruiser bakkie at a recent event in Cape Town. Built to represent the ultimate 70-series Land Cruiser, Ulterio Motiv’s Land Cruiser 79 6×6 was designed for as a bespoke vehicle for camping, off-roading, and emergency services.
The six-wheel-drive Land Cruiser 79 features three differential locks – two standard and one on-demand for the third axle – to prevent wheel spin when going off the beaten track. To improve braking, an upgraded hydraulically-assisted brake booster can be specified as an (R18 950, excl. VAT) option. Suspension and components from Ironman 4×4 are also available at additional cost.
The 6×6 conversion increases the Land Cruiser 79’s gross vehicle mass to 6 080 kg, making it 2 850 kg heftier than the bakkie it is based on – in this case, the 2.8-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel double-cab 79. As a reminder, the GD-6 unit, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, produces 150 kW and 500 N.m of torque. As such, you’ll need a code C1 (previously code 10) driver’s license to drive this beefed-up bakkie on public roads. The loading capacity has also increased, to 2 980 kg.
