All the real power, load carrying and off road capability you'll ever need.
LC's are nice but way to expensive, thirsty,heavy, complicated etc.
The Hilux- let's face it- thousands upon thousands of freedom fighters worldwide can't all be wrong!!!

IMHO The D4D is totally unsuitable for expedition work. It is not the model of hilux used by freedom fighters worldwide. They use the more basic model.
I drive a 2012 Hilux 3.0. I would never take it on an expedition. I have an HJ60 landcruiser for that.
The hilux is too complex, has too much electronics, requires low sulphur diesel, isn't tough enough (they aren't built anywhere near as well as they used to be) etc etc
I would say, 80 or 70 series landcruiser for the win
