    The untold story of the Toyota Bandeirante. I started researching this truck and was amazed what I found... beyond that fact that the bezel was on upside-down and that it ISN'T a Land Crusier, I realized the Bandeirante has an important place in automotive history and wanted to tell the story. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to leave comments on what I missed... it really is hard to get solid info on these amazing trucks.

    I live in a small city in the northeast of Brazil. I cross several of these every single day. They are modified to transport more passengers and cargo. They are very important to the people who live in small farms and villages. No other car can resist the daily routine of several km on these dirt roads. They're the off-road Uber 😂. You'ld be surprised how well maintained they are.

    One thing i think you may be confused on. The 700 ton frame press likely did not weigh 700 tons. That would be the pressing force to bend the frames. Same as a 20 ton shop press does not weigh 20 tons. It would still be a heavy press, just not 700 tons heavy.

    I'm a Gringo living here in Bogota. I had the opportunity to buy a Bandeirante, but didn't realize what I was looking at, lol. I saw that Mercedes motor sitting in the engine bay and thought why the hell did someone swap the motor from a Toyota. Anyway a great story and I thank you. If I ever find another, I will buy it for sure. I'm restoring an FJ43 here in Colombia now. Love these trucks. Cheers!

    Very interesting and well researched video. We had Perkins diesel powered Land Cruisers in South Africa in the years of isolation when the government pushed a local content programme. These Perkins as well as Mercedes Benz diesel engines were produced by a factory set up in Atlantis near Cape Town.

    i love the shape of these but have never seen one in real life and unfortunately apparently they cant be imported and registered to Australia. We got the 40 series in single cab ute, troop carrier, and swb but never got the dual cab unfortunately. It reminds me of the current landcruiser dual cab 79 series which are also like a tractor, but an expensive one unfortunately
