We didn’t think a Toyota Land Cruiser 300 bakkie would be possible, yet an Australian company has managed to build a few. We’re obsessed!

Officially, the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 bakkie doesn’t exist as the Japanese carmaker has not given the green light to build a commercial version of the luxurious SUV. That has not stopped Creative Conversions over in Australia from building a variety of commercially-focused Toyota Land Cruiser 300 bakkie units for sale.

What you see here is not a once-off conversion just for show, but rather the start of a production line. Creative Customs has put in many hours and invested heavily in its research and development, as well as its production facility to satisfy demand.

So, what’s on offer here? The LC 300 bakkie is underpinned by the new TNGA-F platform, and Creative Customs has three options available with two sizes of load bay, two tow ratings and three gross combination mass ratings.

Conversion Option 1: Dual Cab Conversion 700 or 800 mm load-bay extension 3800 GVM- 3500 TOW with combined GCM 7300 kgConversion Option 2: Dual Cab Conversion 700 or 800 mm load-bay extension 4495 GVM- 3500 TOW with combined GCM 7995 kgConversion Option 3: Dual Cab Conversion 700 or 800 mm load-bay extension 4495 GVM- 4200 TOW with combined GCM 8200 kg

Impressively, Creative Conversions is officially registered as second stage manufacturing, which is recognised by Australian transport law, so the above ratings are approved by government. The above numbers are deeply impressive and the LC 300 bakkie is better at towing than its SUV counterpart.

As a reminder, the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 is available with a choice of either a petrol twin-turbo 3.5-litre unit is employed in tandem with a 10-speed automatic transmission to deliver peak outputs of 305 kW and 650 Nm of torque, or a 3.3-litre V6 diesel with maximum outputs of 225 kW and 700 Nm of torque, also paired to a 10-speed automatic.
