Roger, check this site, Toyota LC70: Range Overview they are avail with 3, 5, and 11 seat configuration here in Australia.
The 5 seater has the second row of seats facing forward. Even in the 3 seat version the seat belt anchor points for a 5 or 11 seater are still there they just have plastic plugs fitted in them.

I have a 75 series pop top Troop Carrier, what a great truck! Just got back from a 5000km trip to Lake Eyre and it never missed a beat

I also have a 75 series, it's a factory 6 seater (if the ocupants of the double front passenger seat are skinny) with forward facing rear seat (and seatbelts obviously). Not sure when they stopped making the 6 seater, but I've seen a few around.

Awesome truck that can go anywhere with room for friends and their gear too.

European LC 80 without turbo (1 HZ engine)

Hi all

During last May I got an LC 80,close to GX and with 1 HZ engine, in very good condition with just one owner. Let me say this: the engine is perfect and no need for any turbo at all! You think to drive more than 130 km/h?
Any new 78 or 105 is a car for the rest of your live. In Africa you don't need any turbo at all,with a 6 cilinder, 4.2 cc engine. In Europe with cronometer lifes and motorways all-round, you are a slave of turbo-cars, turbo-food, turbo-drinks, turbo-anything! The worst thing to do is add a turbo to a non-turbo engine, unless you are mechanic or want to be one!

Cheers,

Rui

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
