TikTok isn’t just about weird dance trends and viral recipes, folks. It’s also become one of the biggest stages for cars to find new fans, spark debate, and build cult followings.
Whether it’s a rugged Outback hero, a flashy import, or a quirky project build, TikTok is shaping what young people are dreaming about in their next driveway upgrade and who are we to stand in the way of progress?
Here are three models and trends getting the most attention right now.
Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series
Old school, big money
When TikTok creator @renee_gracie posted about her boyfriend’s $110,000 purchase of a bare-bones Toyota LandCruiser 78 Series, the internet lit up.
Viewers were divided. Some mocked the “retro” features like manual window winders, sliding air vents, and a lack of modern infotainment. Others praised it as the ultimate workhorse: a vehicle that will happily clock up half-a-million kilometres without complaint and hold its value for decades.
The LandCruiser 70 isn’t about luxury. It’s about reliability in the harshest conditions, from Outback farms to remote mine sites. TikTok’s obsession shows how younger Aussies are rediscovering that sometimes, toughness matters more than touchscreens.

Ford Mustang
Still the Show Pony
Few cars make as many TikTok cameos as the Ford Mustang.. Whether it’s revving at a set of lights, rolling up at the local KFC or cruising the coast, the Mustang has cemented itself as one of TikTok’s most-watched performance cars.
In fact, data shows it consistently ranks among the most popular cars on TikTok worldwide, with billions of views across hashtags like #mustang and #fordmustang. It often appears in clips of outrageous entrances at Year 12 formals, where students turn up in V8s instead of their mum's Corolla.
Three-Wheeled “Mini House Car”
DIY TikTok Fame
We’re all aware of the rising trend of covert campers and incredibly creative things being done to make vans a live-in option but we’re also seeing homely habitats created in cars you’d never expect. One of the quirkiest viral builds is a three-wheeled electric “mini house car”, transformed by TikToker @ellaonwheels into a rolling lounge room. Fitted out with curtains, pillows, a heater, and even a projector, it captured millions of views as a kind of tiny mobile retreat.
At easyauto123, we know a car is never just a car. It’s a statement, a story, and sometimes even a viral moment waiting to happen.
