Greetings John!

You are likely going to exceed the load carrying ability of your Land
Cruiser (especially motor, transmission and brakes) with the Globetrotter.
I can't provide the figures for an '84 Land Cruiser, but the '79 was rated
for a maximum of 3,000 pounds depending upon optional equipment and point
of delivery.  It is unlikely that you will find any Class III or better
trailer hitches that are a bolt-on operation - - the age and fact that
Toyotas of that era were rarely used extensively as tow vehicles would
indicate that a custom hitch would likely be required (quality RV and
trailer dealers can often point you to a good hitch fabricator).  At best,
the Land Cruiser would be marginal for the Globetrotter, and at worst you
would be far exceeding its maximum manufacturers trailer tow rating.
