Tamiya 58589-60A Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up 1/12 GF-01 Scale Kit (w/o ESC)  [58589-60A]

Scale Authenticity with the Tamiya 58589-60A Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up

The Tamiya 58589-60A Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up recreates the straightforward, rugged lines of the original vehicle in a 1/12 scale assembly kit. Mounted on the GF-01 chassis, it balances period-correct looks with a driveline that supports practical off-road use.

Why the GF-01 Suits the Land Cruiser

The GF-01 platform brings full 4WD to this model, plus a centrally positioned motor that distributes torque evenly to both gearboxes. That approach helps maintain control across loose surfaces and gives more predictable handling than older 2WD designs.

Construction and Scale Features

The clear polycarbonate body accurately outlines the Pick-Up profile and sits above independent double wishbone suspension with friction dampers. The kit includes metal-effect 5-spoke wheels with substantial 110mm tyres to support trail work and casual off-road runs.

Finishing the Kit and Performance Notes

Equipped with a 540 Torque Tuned motor, the kit requires a separate ESC, radio and 7.2V battery to be operational. Adjustable gear ratios and ride height let builders prioritise torque for rough sections or speed for open tracks.

The Tamiya 58589-60A Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up is a rewarding project for modellers who want a classic scale truck paired with a chassis that responds well to setup and upgrades.
