Landcruiser Canopy
- Minimum hire 14 days
- Driver age 21+
About this camper
With its powerful 4500cc V8 diesel engine, the Canopy is a real workhorse. Like other Landcruisers, at low speeds, the 4WD maintains its momentum and is unlikely to get stuck. Robust, high ground clearance and extremely reliable, partly due to the absence of all kinds of electronics.
