I keep reading brochure comparisons. I want owner notes: drawer length, who sits in the back, how the wagon vs tray behaves on a week of corrugations, and whether a canopy turned the 79 into the 76 you thought you wanted.
No prices. No “this is the one”. Link the LandCruiser hub if you are going to talk platforms.

79 with a canopy became my wagon. I lost some of the “just a ute” honesty and gained a place to lock recovery gear. The tray still won for dirty recoveries.
76 for two people and a week of clothes. 79 if a third human or a dog that sheds red dirt is coming. Not a morality tale.
Corrugations: I felt the tray chatter more, but I also packed worse. Driver first.
