- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2024
- The new 2024 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series has been revealed, but we wanted to have a quick drive in the outgoing model before we step into the new one. Most of it remains the same, which means a turbocharged diesel V8 and a five-speed manual transmission.

#toyota #landcruiser #review - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
G’day Paul, the side indicator is different from the last 76 Series (Wagon) Landcruiser review you did a a year or 2 ago, the new bigger indicator is now a Category 6 (Cat6) indicator so that the aftermarket company’s can do GVM upgrades without having to change the side indicators on every single 70 Series LandCruiser they do, also the front Toyota badge is different to the old badge that is on the old model 70 series is a physical badge unlike the new one that I believe is a radar for some of the safety systems, I hope this helps mate 😀
Amazing mate - thank you for that insight!
Front badge has a radar behind it for the AEB
Indicators were changed when Toyota uprated the GVM to sidestep ADR 85/00 and are a requirement of the weight class the 70ser now sits in
they did this so they didn't have to reengineer the 79 series , to add side airbags
@@YZJB
Is the 'local' aftermarket looking ORVMs also a part of this latest regulations?
@@user-vk4vd7vr5thaha yup.
Land Cruiser 70 series is one of the greatest creations in the world of vehicles.
Reliability, durability, simplicity, easy to maintain and timeless design, which are not found in today's vehicles, are more important than electronic devices and features. Its V8 engine and manual gearbox make this vehicle even more lovable. And the exhaust makes some of the best music I've ever heard. People who know the value of LC 70 series know that they can go anywhere without any problem.
lol get off the cool-aid champ
Incorrect, there are modern cars that fit those things you listed (reliability, durability, simplicity, easy to maintain, timeless design). In fact, even Toyota itself has modern examples of the things you listed (Hilux, Land Cruiser, Fortuner).
The 76 series is ancient junk made for oldies who are still stuck in the 70's.
That box really needs a sixth gear . The highway revs are ridiculous .
Oldies = stamina
So many comments on here show how little people know about cars. Designing a car to last 8-10 years vs lasting 20-30 years and over 300,000 km reliably whilst living in harsh and rough terrain is a very different ballgame. Engineering something like this and having to test all those components costs alot more in time and money compared to the Rangers that need to live in surburbia most of their lives.
Indeed. You can't have it both ways. either old school and it lasts or new school with all the creature comforts and full of electronics which many consumers purchase on a lease and flip after 5 years. At least there's choice in the market and people can choose what suits them but those who say "kill the 70" have as much right to do so as me saying kill all those vehicles that have a sub 20 year lifespan.
Pretty sure Rangers spend majority of their time on mechanic hoists getting new engines/gearboxes
Yeah except it was designed over 40 years ago.
@SirBigzalot And in that time there's been alot of advancements in metals, plastics, wiring etc so while the design may be the same, the actual material themselves change over time and have to go through the revalidation process eventhough it all looks the same. There's also alot of work on the production like for this model that gets done by hand rather than by machine.
Harsh but not offroad conditions it seems.
Coming from a mining background and remote areas work, I've been living with these things for the past 30 years and clocked at least 1M kms I'm sure. We who use them, love to bitch about them, but as a work horse in the harshest of conditions I really wouldn't want anything else. Never owned one. I get out of my work ute (70 series new) and my 100 series (300k + kms) feels like total luxury with a limousine ride. People who buy them as a personal ride are special and there's a lot! Mining companies, farmers and any company that sends its workers bush know which thing is the most reliable and cheapest to maintain. I know you mentioned some other competitors, and I can't even remember what they were as I write. The 70 series is just completely on its own. There are no competitors. That's why Toyota will never stop making this wonderful, reliable, uncomfortable, basic machine,,,,,,,,,ever! I'm buying an Everest now, but I'll still be doing more k's in a bloody 70!
Agreed. I worked regional exploration and love the 70 series for work but would never own one personally.
Bloke I know drives a 70 series everyday in mines can’t stand it but loves his musso which has done over 275k on corrugated roads getting there and back without a hiccup. Except for the Ironman suspension which he went through 7 sets until he assisted with dobinsons development of a ‘mining spec’ setup.
Love how much Toyota gets away with how much they can charge for these.
I love how some people just pay it anyway 😅
yet i would still pay
@@isaackinney6805
Me too, but I'm poor AF anyway 😅
This isn't made in huge numbers, hence the price, but there's better for the money for sure.
@@ffabcd5091
Definitely there's better value, but not in the same chassis/suspension type.
My ex Father in law put over 600,000 KMs on his over 20 years as the vehicle for his welding business. Carted his tools and towed his welder for 2 decades
All he did was keep it serviced and put a fresh set of seat covers on it every 2-3 years and it never let him down
People who whinge at the price of these vehicles aren’t the people who understand why you buy them
Two elderly glow worms for headlights, 1970's door cards, instrumentation and HVAC controls, manual control of mirrors, glacial performance, jam tins for brakes and no Apple Car play, No hill descent - even a RAV4 has that. LOL. How they get away with $80K + for that i'll never know. And some folks actually spend over double the price on mods...
😂
@@Paradoxical124nothing lasts forever.
This isn't made in huge numbers, hence the price, but there's better for the money for sure.
No need for hill descent. I use low range first for very steep descents.
@@dognute2746 - but hill descent does a great job at stopping the brakes from locking up. Better than a human can do.
Love this car - I don't own one - I saw one in South Africa when I went with UN - which had 700,000 KM - and I could not believe it... It was unreal.
Alot of people get turned off by how the simple the car is and how there is lack of technology but when this car was build the engineers focused on engine relieablity and power.
I would want this in the wagon variant (I'm a 25 year old American man)
The traction power is so incredible 💪
South Africa the 70 comes in 3 engines
4.5V8 diesel
4.2 i6 non turbo diesel
4.0 V6 petrol
Still the best looking vehicle among ALL vehicles reviewed on this chanel so far.
Actually one of the worst looking and worst sounding.
The bed is ugly. Look up the model Saudi and Arab Gulf countries get. The bed is a lot nicer and goes with the design of the cab, whereas this one looks like a lego piece mounted on it.
A real key! Thank the Lord, no more security issues when surfing/fishing etc.
The actual cost is the difference between the buy price and sell price. These hold their value really well, which makes them better value than many of the other options...
Haha bro 7:12 your face about the darts like "why we still having these, and do people smoke anymore" loved it haha
I find it weird that none of the reviews about this ute mention that these are mainly bought as Open-pit or Underground Mining workhorses...or for Farming where you need to tow a lot, and carry a lot at the same time, and you need something extra reliable, with a near bullet proof / heavy duty engine and transmission and yet all the fiddly stuff needs to be simple enough that you can fix yourself.
On the Workmate editions (shit-box / mining) editions you can rip open that door card, and with a bit of CRC and a shifter, fix the window mechanism yourself when you get too much briny water in it. The 'entertainment system' has a CD player, USB and bluetooth because that's what most underground workers will be using. They just want something that works. Same as the seat adjustments, you'll have multiple people driving the vehicle at different points of the day, and in a harsh environment you don't want to be having slow electricially operated seat adjustments that's prone to failure. A quick slide mechanism, means you can get in, adjust, and go.
All the buttons are tactile enough that you can use them whilst wearing cut resistant / protective gloves. And it's important that you can drive it wearing gumboots, with the pedals being decently far apart, and the transmission being very difficult to stall, no matter how much you're towing / carrying in the tray. Also with heaps of tie down points, this is great for carrying all the gear.
Most of the work vehicles will be driven in 4wd low-range constantly, with some companies even taking away the option to put it in 2wd or even 4wd high range. So you need the engine and transmission to be able to handle that roughness of driving.
Many people buy these vehicles as their personal car because they are very familiar with them in their work environment, knowing how to fix many little things, or be able to push it in just the right way. It's almost a right of passage for Jumbo Ops (drill rig operators) to get one of these in a dual cab and do a host of upgrades to it. Many farmers will have, at one point , have worked on a mine and have been familiar with these vehicles and also trust it to just go and go and go.
You don't care about top speed or acceleration, when your main concern is reliability, simple-ness to fix and ability to carry and tow with ease.
When you are driving these underground or on a farm, you actually get a great sense of enjoyment being able to power-slide these around a decline or an open field, even with all the gear in the tray.... which is definitely tied down of course.
I would wager that the only reason Toyota keeps making these for the Australian market is because of the mining industry, and farming is a happy secondary market.
Thank you oh wise one. We test drove one last week. Listening to the v8 is enuf for me to sell our '94 vx turbo diesel manual LC that i also love 'n has never missed a beat.
Love the old school nature of it. Would have one in a heartbeat.
What it is, the over pricing? Lack of power? Lack of off road capability’s?
Your right, just would have one is a heart beat tho because everyone says there great………or maybe it’s just because there ego is too big to admit that they BLEW way to much money on a heapaaaa shit
Well you can't kill them for starters. Even the preffered choice for the Taliban in armed conflict.
@@MR-hu1bx Way too much money is relevant to your income, when did other people have to drive something because you said so? My 2018 GXL took me and my family all over the country without getting bogged or stuck once (tassie, cape, north WA all the normal beaches). Spent a bit putting some 33s and some suspension changes and engine remap/tune done, but when it was all said and done it handled anything I threw at it, towed a caravan/boat like nothing was behind it, never got bogged and didnt have 1 single issue. My old mans land cruisers on his farm are a bit older and getting up to around 500,000kms now - never had an issue outside of normal service/maintenance. You let me know when a bt50/dmax/navara/triton gets to 500k doing farm work without any issue and ill shake your hand and say you are right. If youre a tradie on 80k/year or only want to spend 65k for a tidy dualcab/wagon thatll take the family camping and get around the city, theres plenty of fantastic options. You arent paying 100k for an infotainment system, leather seats and some flares/stickers..
Our 94 vx diesel turbo manual LC still going strong.
I can't believe the inside door trim is almost the same as my old 91 troopie in 2023 still showing bare metal .
Side indicator was part of the ADR requirements when Toyota upgraded the 70 from a light commercial to a medium commercial. In essence Toyota upgraded the GVM.
So they bought a heap of Aliexpress indicators
Nice move Toyota.
To avoid needing to comply with the new side impact test
Getting my 76 on thursday 🎉
Simplicity is king in such a crazy technical world
Too bloody right, but ALL new vehicles have dormant technology fitted so drive them at your own risk.
Great video m8
Only Toyota can pull off something like this
It's for the mine industry. They requested Toyota to keep making these. Went to a mine once, Hilux interior was melted, specially gear nob. LC withstands that heat. So, it's not actually Toyota's fault. People can't get enough. 5 years waiting proves that in my opinion.
True. They’re the best.
@@AhmedZubaierI think the Middle east offroaders and UN staff also love this 70 series, not just Aussie miners 🤪
If toyota would sell this in my country i'd be already saving up for it
a couple of pre owned 2022 versions for sale at my local Toyota dealer, one $30k above list and the other $40k above list. Both been there for at least 6 months, so hopefully no one is/will contemplate such a rip off
Great vehicle, good rugged reliable rig. Allot of us use them here in Central Australia.
I have had a 79 dual cab from new since 2017- First of the DPF. Purchased as a company car and payed extra for AC and child seat anchors in the back! Lease run out couple of years ago and decided keep the it. (if i sell i will need to pay around 80k income tax)Done around 120,000 km without any issues. Done a GVM upgrade, interior consoles, with upgraded clutch with dyno tune- Motor is limited to standard clutch. Expect to pay around 3k for new clutch and tune. Torque went from around 360nm to 680nm at the wheels, which seems crazy! Overall its been a great truck. In all honesty though a hilux would be more practical. I do hate parking her too. I live around Noosa and these things are everywhere!
All said and done its a love hate relationship. Kind of a curse as i dont know if i could ever sell it!!
Love your honesty
You can tell Paul is enjoying this😂😂😂
Local Aussie forums show that the average spend on upgrades to these is around $120-140k..!! I'll wait for the Ineos Grenadier thanks..
Look how much fun he’s having 😂
These should be 50 grand maximum. Especially the new one being a Hilux parts bin special
You should tell Toyota.
But then they’ll have a 10 year wait list.
@@oggyoggy1299💀💀💀💀
That's a base model camry steering wheel mate.
I'll wait to get one ❤❤❤❤
Have been waiting very close to two years for this VDJ76R Toyota is not going to produce V8 anymore so last chance.
Few months ago received a call from Toyota saying they are in a meeting n have decided to alloit me my reservation so I expect my new truck soon.
For those who give negative feedbacks on this truck they should test the old defender which I tried to buy one for 15 year everytime I test drove I change my mind( bad mistake as the price have gone thru the roof) it is so difficult to drive this toyota on the other hand is a lot more easy to drive than the defender so i m looking forward to my long waited new truck
On Aug 6 2023, Kondor Cars TH-cam channel has shown the new LC78 Troop Carrier Assembly line Production Plant in Tahara Japan , showing all the workers welding the entire vehicle by hand with no robots involved at although it does show some robots assembling and welding the Toyota Prado models in the video
Have they finally fixed the rear track issue?
Also I see they still mount the rear axle over the leaf springs...
No they haven't fixed the rear track yet.
Wonder how many will wait for the 4 years and pick it up at the Asylum.
A great investment.
In the padded cell they pay over 100k second hand. Mine [Troopy] gets delivered in two months. Hopefully meds are in glove box.
Hello, what is the name of the program you used for the zero to hundred test?
Can you please test the GWM Cannon XSR. I mean it’s not that much different than the Cannon X but it does have front and rear lockers
At work I see mine spec 70 Series every day and while they may be filthy and every panel is dented and scratched they all start/run/drive fine with well over 200,000kms on the clock (which I realise is low for most Toyota owners). Absolutely the price is ridiculous Toyota is laughing all the way to the bank with these cars but oh man I would take an unmolested Troop Carrier in a heartbeat!
The bigger side indicators would be the new "Cat6" regs, and also its not a snorkel, its a raised air intake for dusty roads as they are not sealed as it has like 4 or 5 joins in it and no sealant unlike a safari snorkel whats 100% Safe for water crossings
Thought you would have released the Ranger Platinum today?
i have a 70 series, how I use it I wouldn't have anything else. I am from central Queensland
I'd have one of these but it'd have to be a 4 door version. Absolutely love them.
Seen odometer on a friend's couple of years ago 500k, he is still driving it no probs was pre dpf
nice ,worth the wait ,wish we could get 70 serries in the U.S. troopy or wagon ,a 4.0 v6 gas (4RUNNER)or 4.6 v8 gas( Lexus GX460 ) are u.s. compliance , it would eat into 4runner/ tacoma sales @$81k auz is $53k us $
I have been fortunate enough to have owned one secondhand and two new Landcruiser utes since 1997 . My current one I bought new in 2013 and is a GX since I did not want carpet floor coverings. They are a pretty basic vehicle but extremely reliable and will work hard all day pulling heavy loads easily .If you want a “ pretty boy “ Ute this is certainly not for you . I can beat most vehicles away from the traffic lights and out on the highway have no worries passing a B double even with a trailer on behind . I can highly recommend the Landcruiser Ute if you are looking for a rugged workhorse and personally I wouldn’t look at anything else . Yes they are expensive but if you buy one for constant rugged work they are a great buy even though they are very noisy in the cab and give a pretty rough ride .
Wait, so you’re argument for the reliability is you’ve bought three of them in 26 years? I have a 1989 Pajero that’s still going.
@@ablet85 No, what I’m saying is that I have had three different vehicles all of which have been trouble free - which I think most people would agree makes a stronger record than having one trouble free and saying “ hey they are great reliable vehicles because I’ve had one which gave me no trouble “ In relation to you still having a 1989 Pajero - well done , but using my argument from above , it could be seen to be a fluke . Now if you had THREE 1989 Pajeros that would be a really impressive record . By the way , I sold each one , as I did with most business equipment, merely to keep updating so we didn’t have a business which consisted of all aged gear which also meant I didn’t need to employ a mechanic .
paying 80k to wait 4 years is absolutely ridiculous
If you save 20k a year you can pay cash on arrival 😅
Coming from the US, I would be very interested to one day test drive one of these. I have a 10 year old manual Nissan pickup as my daily and it would be very interesting to see how that compares to a brand new 70 series with its much older overall design.
Will be about the same
the 70 series is the much older design.
We have a Nissan Patrol cab chassis. Just as reliable and capable, however far more comfortable due to it being slightly wider. Was shocked how cramped the 79LC felt compared to the 2000 Patrol.
@@farmlyf the body of the 70 series is from the 80s so a lot smaller. The Patrol was developed as a comfotable vehicle first and is much newer
@@eyeswideopen7450 Well, exactly.
Hey Paul the highest mileage is 1.4 mil and it is owned by a mate of mine.
that you know of...
Hi @carexpert please make a video comparing the the latest seltos and kona
Paul @ 1:55: "It is actually a safe vehicle, from the perspective of all those safety features"
With all due respect, Paul, you're omitting the fact that Toyota deliberately increased the gross vehicle mass to change the classification of the vehicle so that it avoided Australian Design Rules for side impact crash safety.
This vehicle was designed in the 1980s, and as much as it's good to have airbags retrofitted to it, there are inherent, 1980s-shaped limitations as to how well the structure can crash. Have a look at those skinny little A-pillars for a start - they're basically tent poles.
What other car can you buy with a single cab Ute v8?
great vid! need a MG5 review :D
I wish they sold this in USA. Would buy this any day over the new Tacoma I will be buying soon.
If you want one for the farm or the mine, order a left hand drive! Get it mine specced and it will land on your mine here in Australia, with the turbo V8, for $31k each.
Have you got a link to this? I don't want one, I just want to use the info to poke fun at people who buy an $80k+ POS 😂
Looks great outside
In certain Toyota models the A-trac does not engage until you put it in 4h !
the traction control system in these is the diff locks lol
Good video, thank you. How can I get one.
Oh! what a feeling......
ideal off road
Never kill the 70 series, OMG, it's a thing of beauty!
I'd like to see this compared to the Isuzu N series light trucks, the ones that can be driven on a car licence, they're managing to nab a lot of tradies out of the Thailand single cabs and this thing.
I get your point but an Isuzu N series is never going to make it up the Tele. track!
@@DaleWhitcher-ix4fy 90% of these VDJ79 Land Cruiser utes spend their time on the Calder Freeway in Victoria
@@francocozzo7235 Yeah, fair call, would apply to most. Personally, I use mine for its intended purpose any chance I get.
@@francocozzo7235 😂
Probably about 3 in Australia that don’t go off road
4 year wait is ridiculous. Reliability and good resale value yes. But in all other aspects the competition is better. And a lot cheaper. And you can actually get them 🙂
What competition has a v8 diesel?
@@Jacobtheunwise It's not the number of cylinders that matters, it's the torque.
That said, Triton produces the same nM, but at 2,500rpm, not the Cruiser's 1,500.
@jeremybean-hodges6397 yes but with the v8 if you put in a better clutch you can double the stock power and its still reliable, the one on my father in laws farmis a 2013 model an has 500 thousand kms and has been tuned for more torque since day one
@@Jacobtheunwise why would you put $80k into a vehicle and *then* upgrade the clutch and the power?
If it's a work vehicle, 430nM is more than enough.
Nice one Paul. Agreed that is stupid money for something that old, with a few modern nannies. Great for farmers and the mining sectors. As an everyday ride, no. Wonder why Nissan stoped making the Patrol ute. Very comfotable and capable on and off road with the 2.8 L6 petrol. engine
Just watched this, Paul. Was that a kid on a push bike passing you ? 😊
What’s DPF?
Absolute beast best car ever 🤪
Thx nice review, wished they were available in Canada , I'd have the dual cab ute as you call it, on a new vehicle basis they would only import the gas engine, the diesels, even the newest don't meet emission specs, ridiculous are my thoughts, I've owned and driven Volvos for over 40 yrs and this reminds me of them simply , heavy materials, low tech systems and under stressed and will go for as long as i ever need it to, and parts available for yrs to come , so no need to worry about spares, I would even entertain importing a used one, our used imports must be 14 yrs old and for any
70 series thats nothing 👍
You should also do a review on the Nissan Patrol (y61 gu, just to get Landcruiser guys talking 😂
With a tune at the wheels.... 136 kw and 557 NM. It hums at that but the factory specs is at back of motor
Yes it's expensive, but if well care after, it can definitely hold better it value, than buying for similar price some luxury SUV, that after few years is hit hard with depreciation. So at the end of the day, It could be a great cost worth buy.
Can someone explain to be how this costs so much, if it is expected to last 20+ years, why isnt android auto/apple carplay come included? Given that statnav will unlikely get updates for the expected life of the vehicle.
Because most people who buy it will end up modifying it to their own taste including the infotainment system.
Farmers and Mining companies don't really care for those modern comforts, it's built for work use.
Never tired of good stuff. I hope Toyota reduces price of this vehicle to be more available for people who live in rural areas amongst mountains in South- America deserts in Africa and other rough places in the world. We need Mirai and Prius for overpopulated mega cities to decrease air pollution and 70 series for surviving somewhere else.
Is the 2.8 diesel auto faster than the manual V8?
Hopefully it’s not slower 😂
Best car in the world 🥰
are the wheels in line yet?
No.
Please do a offroad comparison between Lc70 and Hilux
I live in the US & I'd probably give my left foot for one!!! I guess it'd have to be the automatic though...
Haha 😂😂
wow it looks good i love it 🥰
When you drive one with a straight thru 3inch muffler and a tame tune you will want to buy stock for life
obvious mistake for me is ground clearance. this beast seats from the factory on 31s tires if I am not wrong, so it is about 220mm of clearance under rear shocks and differential carriers
wet weather definitely plays against cruiser in off-road test. and ancient traction control system doesn't work well too. but engaging lockers before obstacles can compensate that.
Yes, Toyota don’t state the ground clearance as it’s between 8”-9”.
Bisa di inden ga?
Amazing how the only Toyota vehicles that come with a front diff lock is this commercial vehicle and the GR Sport variant of the LC300. No other Toyota vehicle from what I know has 3 diff locks.
Several LC300 variants in other countries have 3 diff locks too, not just the GR sport.
@@nvnh319 they name the variants differently in different regions
I would really like one but nearly $80,000 is a wee bit off the mark for me that’s what I paid for my first house.
How safe is it for pedestrians, especially with those mirrors.
I have once clipped a pedestrian who jumped on the road with a mirror and she walked away with no injuries.
Who gives a fuck?
Waiting for GWM to do a single cab flat deck Ute to compete with this…probably hybrid ..hey why not lol
In Asia most people fix the rear canopy.
0:07 what people don’t get is THIS HAS NO FSNCY SHIT IT WILL LAST FOR EVER
22:52 "several off-mode roads"?
Nice
That seat looks like its straight out of a 1998 Camry (probably is!)
1987* 😂
Camry 10/10
16:51
you turned off the traction with no diff lock
what do you expect?????
Okay but how can I get one
Lol all of these hate comments. Why are you here? Overpriced? If anything it’s underpriced. Continued to be sold out as soon as the ordering books open
“Air conditioner is now standard”
Ffs 🤦♂️
It's like bragging about your TV having colour!
4 yr wait for the V8?? Euro 6 will be mandated for all vehicles next yr in Australia & the V8 will not be able to be sold. Toyota are unable to re engineer the V8 to comply . The 2.8 will be Euro 6 compliant here If not when it arrives it will be not long after. The LC300's engine is expected to be shoehorned into the updated vehicle to replace the V8 . Though it's not Euro 6 compliant in Australia as yet , it is in other markets & will be by the time Euro 6 is mandated locally
Oh man, I would love to be able to buy this thing in the US. Preferably a crew cab though, and with either a 6-speed or automatic shift. Can you get it with a mount for a .50 caliber in the bed? 😁😆😃🙂😊
2024 my gets six speed auto with 2.8 diesel which is used with Hilux, Fortuner and Prado.
Only the single cab got the side airbags, no other model in the range did
I'm a outdoor lifestyle travel operator from Kolkata, India and I'm looking to acquire a fleet of 33 brand new TOYOTA Land Cruiser 79 GXL (NZJ79) 4WD + 3.0 in.

100km/h at 2k rpm in topgear seems an improvement over the earlier versions. Though it is crappy when you see how large the engine is.
Lazy chilled out engine, well designed to be like that for 1 million miles.
