Ulterio Motiv shows off its 6‑wheel Land Cruiser 79 in Cape Town
South African off‑road specialist Ulterio Motiv hit the streets of Cape Town this week to unveil its latest conversion – a 6×6 version of the iconic Toyota Land Cruiser 79. The new “79 6×6” builds on the rugged 70‑series platform and is designed for everything from camping and adventure travel to emergency services.
What makes the 79 6×6 stand out
- Six‑wheel configuration: Unlike the standard 4×4 Land Cruiser, the new model adds an extra axle for extra traction and payload capacity.
- Built for tough conditions: The vehicle is fitted with reinforced chassis, upgraded suspension, and a powerful driveline that makes it ideal for rough terrain.
- Versatile use cases: Whether you’re loading a camping kit, pulling heavy equipment, or responding to a roadside emergency, the 79 6×6 is built to handle it.
A sister company of a veteran armoured‑vehicle maker
Ulterio Motiv is part of the SVI Engineering group, a long‑standing South African specialist in armoured‑vehicle and commercial off‑road solutions. Leveraging that expertise, the company has turned a popular commercial bakkie into a purpose‑built 6‑wheel off‑road machine.
