Rumours of a potential end to the production of the still highly-popular 70 Series will almost certainly drive further demand, so unless manufacturing can be ramped up significantly, these wait times are unlikely to ease anytime soon.While a rumoured end to the 70 Series has persisted for many years, Toyota’s Australian division has recently expressed a strong interest in keeping the back-to-basics 4WD on sale.<img src="https://www.chasingcars.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Web-Size-LC76-70th-2.jpg" alt="Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series 2022 front" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The 70 Series range is still in hot demand in AustraliaBack in May, Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (TMCA) announced it would <a href="https://www.chasingcars.com.au/news/future-cars/toyota-land-cruiser-2023-70-series-ute-and-wagon-gain-aeb-enhanced-payload-capacity/" target="_blank">introduce a range of upgrades</a> to the safety suite and GVM of the 70 Series on models delivered after November 2022.At the time, TMCA vice president of sales, marketing and franchise operations Sean Hanley said the changes were designed to ensure the 70 Series would “continue to be available for the foreseeable future in the Australian market”.<h3>Production delays hinder supply</h3>It comes as Toyota continues to battle supply shortages at the factory level, which has seen some of its most <a href="https://www.chasingcars.com.au/news/car-industry/more-delays-for-toyota-land-cruiser-300-series-70-series-and-prado-january-2022-update/" target="_blank">popular models</a>, including the 70 Series, power down production lines for days at a time.Early on in the pandemic when the supply of critical parts, such as semiconductors, became scarce, Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) was able to sustain higher production levels than many other manufacturers thanks to its vast stockpile of parts, however, those days appear to be over. <img src="https://www.chasingcars.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Web-Size-LC76-70th-4.jpg" alt="Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Series 2022 rear 3/4" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Toyota Australia is making an effort to restore 70 Series supplyA spokesperson from Toyota Motor Corporation Australia told Chasing Cars it was making a concerted effort to bring a greater allocation of vehicles to our shores.“Wait times vary depending on the model, variant and specification requirements of each customer.
