High-res photos: https://tinyurl.com/troopy78
Location: Durban, South Africa
Price: €68,000 (R1,349,000 ZAR)
Availability: Ready to go – available immediately
Known Issues: None. Fully serviced and mechanically A1
Description
Up for sale is our 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser 78 Troop Carrier, purchased in 2016 with only 6,700 km on the clock. It now has 240,000 km, with a major Toyota 240,000 km service just completed - mechanically A1.
This is not a commercial sale. The Troopy has been our family base and production rig as a professional documentary crew across Southern and East Africa. Every choice was made with reliability, simplicity, and comfort in mind.
The full overland build was completed in late 2023. This is a turn-key expedition solution - complete Victron electrical system, custom storage, integrated sleep platform, water, comms, and recovery gear.
Built on Toyota’s legendary 1HZ engine - the powerplant that drives Africa. With unmatched reliability and a massive service network, it’s the motor of choice for true expedition rigs.
