The 2022 Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series has arguably been the biggest story of 2021 so far, but if there’s one vehicle Australians love more than a LandCruiser, it’s a dual-cab ute.
Brazilian artist Kleber Silva created this rendering, which stitches together the front of a 300 Series onto the body of a full-size pick-up, creating a dual-cab LandCruiser ute with a bit more comfort and tech than Toyota's iconic 79 Series.
While Silva named his creation the 2024 Toyota HiLux TRD, the possibility of a 300 Series dual-cab is not completely out of question.
UPDATE, October 14 2021: The LC300 has now made its proper Australian debut, and you can read and watch our full first-drive review here.
In recent days, the 2022 Toyota Tundra was revealed in the US, with the pick-up sharing the same powertrain and under-body architecture as the new LandCruiser.
“Toyota Australia is aware that the large truck segment in Australia has grown in popularity over the last few years and it is a segment we are continuing to study and we are interested in generally,” a spokesperson for the carmaker told 4X4 Australia in May 2021.
While a Tundra built in right-hand-drive for markets like Australia is more likely to see the light of day, Toyota could eventually choose to leverage the LandCruiser’s good name and offer a pick-up body for the 300 Series globally.
