- hey guys & girls
welcome back to another video
In this video I am lucky enough to get the keys to a 2023 land cruiser dual cab
it is running the new 2.8 turbo diesel & 6 speed auto
Would you own a 70 series with a 4 cylinder???
Massive thanks to Blair & Richard from orange Toyota for letting me test the land cruiser out...
Any questions drop them in the comments
cheers Steve

hey guys & girls
hope you enjoy this short video on the new 2.8 land cruiser auto
let me know in the comments if you would own a 70 series in a 4 cylinder auto???
cheers Steve
yes if we could buy one in the U.S
@@youtubecarspottersguide1 maybe we can swap for a 4Runner ? 🧐
Hell yeah
@@unproadventures4142 good trade 4 runner is the only good 4x4 trail rig sold in the U.S. i want a troop carrier
Was waiting for this! I'm the guy you let take the car for a drive without ever having met me before, mate I couldn't wipe the smile off my face for the rest of the weekend! Thank you again for the opportunity 🤙
Hey mate
Was a pleasure & glad you enjoyed it
How was the camping did you find a nice spot ?
@unproadventures4142 Yeah found a great spot mate, had the place all to myself on Sunday night too. The water was perfect, had a swim for a good solid few hours on the Monday when no one was around!
@@seanwatson7775 sound perfect 👍
You younger generation make us oldies laugh. The 45 and so on landcruiser use to have a 4 pot in it originally before going 6 then 8. The 2.8 v V8 in stock form when towing out performed the V8 towing. And the auto does make better use of the torque curve v the manual.
2.8 for me over the V8.
Is being 42 the older generation ? Lol
And I think a lot of people will be suprised at how well it does tow
Thanks for the comment 👍
You hit the nail on the head, @onedayatatime4232. The key here is the transmission and not necessarily the V8 vs 4 cylinder. Manuals in light vehicle applications are dogs for towing, but people are conditioned to believe they’re driving a Mack truck because of the manual and 4.5 V8.
I own manuals, love manuals and drive manuals 99% of the time, but I’m not going to fool myself into believing a manual in light vehicle applications makes a good tow vehicle.
Makes more sense to have torque multiplication from an auto, than slipping a clutch to get a heavy trailer up an incline from a standstill.
the v8 will last 30 years, the 2.8 about 6
For all the less mechanically inclined…a gearbox is what’s known as a torque multiplier. So torque at the wheels is driven by the gearbox. Don’t need a V8.
Instead of downhill assist, slip across to right and lock in 1st with sport mode, works in my 2.8 auto
Yeah I should of done that
I reckon it would hold a little better
Thanks for tuning in 👍
That was a really good review Steve on the auto 70. Awesome stuff mate 🤙🏻
Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it
Thanks again for always tuning in 🫶
Interesting way they have gone about it all. I really cannot get over that front end. Great review.
It sure is hey….
Thanks for tuning in
Much appreciated 👍
Good review mate cheaper registration too much electronics for me something to go wrong in the bush maybe I still have a 2002 hzj 79 series that I can still do a lot of maintenance myself which I had to pay a mechanic to put a new clutch in it for me 😁
Cheers mate
Thanks for having a look at the video
And can’t beat an old girl mate 💪
I dig the new old look. Not sold on the 4 pot with only a 10% improvement in fuel economy. . Need to load it up to 4t and see how it goes. Be nice to have an auto though.
Hey toddy
I’m also keen to see what it can tow like
If it had a towbar 🧐🫣🤣
Thanks for watching mate 👍
@@unproadventures4142 I towed 1.6T for 30,000km in a 2.8, the drivetrain really suffered. Not again.
You can put 4 t in the tray?
@mattluszczak8095 no but fit them out for touring and they will sneak up to 4t pretty quickly.
Nice clip mate, love your work. Cheers Steve
Cheers muddy
Always appreciate your kind words
Unpro 🤙
I think I would prefer to keep the v8 mate and that’s just because I’m stuck in my ways. This test vehicle certainly handled the steep pinch no problems at all. They are very basic cars that judo not come with all the hype of the other brands. I think that’s why I enjoy mine. That and the sitting position.
It’s funny because Jesse is 2.01m tall and he prefers the 79 over the 200 series for long trips 😮.
I think the auto and the 4 cylinder will be popular given how well you enjoyed the drive. Most people who buy them just enjoy the tradition. A great improvement would be the turning circle 😂😂. Have a great night guys.
Hey Ryan
Thanks for tuning in mate
For what you tow I would as well 👍
And yeah they have a cult following that’s for sure…
As for the turning circle 😂 you soon get good at 3 point turns
Good review mate, I would be pretty keen on a troopy with the 2.8 auto, i reckon it would be a good thing.
I like the subtle changes like the speedo and the grille. Would also be good to have a trip computer etc as the old v8 doesn’t have that. Not sure about brake wear as its auto.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Cheers mate
I just tried to cover as much as I could
Totally agree it would def be harder on brakes for sure
Thanks again for watching 🤙
Considered a 78 but got a 150 Prado GXL instead as the price gap to the 78 was insane. No concerns with the 2.8, it will do fine.
Nice to hear some positives on the 2.8
Thanks for having a look 👍
This 4 cylinder 70 series cannot beat the V8 version of 70 series, not even close. But this 4cyl will surely fill the market gap.
Its V8 engine and manual gearbox make this vehicle even more lovable. It's a feeling that binds us to the vehicle. And the exhaust makes some of the best music I've ever heard.
Thanks for the input
Like you said I think it will fill the gap
Thanks for watching
Cheers 👍
Thanks for sharing this, I was wondering what the new 70 is like and it looks pretty good 👍
I had a test drive with the LC 79 2.8L, and it wasn't as fun as I had expected. I owned the LC 76 4.5L for 7 years, and after testing, I'll never switch to the 2.8L. Yes, it's pretty much a matter of personal preference, experience, and expectation, but what's the point of an automatic gearbox for severe off-road conditions? I still prefer full control over the vehicle. I'm always keen on simplicity rather than fancy features, which are mostly useless and overpriced. What would you do if your battery went flat in the middle of nowhere? I'm left with more questions than answers.
Hi there and thanks for the valued input in this comment…
I think personal preference will be the main choice for these vehicles
Thanks for watching
Cheers 👍
You do realise there are Lithium batteries that can replace the standard one with deep cycle charging to run accessories. Invicta and Arb have been selling them for a couple of years. Or a slimline lithium behind the rear seat? Better than a heavy AGM under the bonnet. Why would ya???
I am absolutely hanging to swap this driveline into my 80 series (the 3fe FJ80 version). I have a Hdj80 as well but just want to have one with a modern 1gd in it.
Yeah wow
That’s would be a cool conversion for sure
Hope it can come into a reality for you
Cheers 👍
that is the softest review ever , i use to do tracks like them in a mazda 808 , all praise review .
Thank you. Seems like a good piece of kit.
Cheers mate
Thanks for watching 👍
Good review! The 2.8 was fitted at the request of the mining industry which gets better life out of the prado/hilux mechanicals than they do out of the v8. Last yesr i was in Newman talking about their fleet and they said thats what they would like. Here we are. Ive always owned landcruisers (see profile photo), was the Toyota Australia auctioneer etc too, however i didnt like the 300 and got out of it at 15,000km, sold my 70 V8 and bought a SR hilux to see if i could live with the 2.8 and auto. So far so good. I like the fuel economy. Will i buy a 2.8 landcruiser? Time will tell. They are about $20,000 mote than the hilux. Thats a lot of coin for a live front axle. Yes the 2.8 in the cruiser has been beefed up etc. im gunna wait a year and see how they are performing. Meanwhile i will keep driving my fj45 to remind me of what a tuff truck used to be. Keep upnthe reviews 👍👍👍
Thanks for the valid info in the comment
It is totally aimed a fleet styled customers that’s for sure
I’m with you I always wait a year or 2 after the first model is released to see how they fair
Thanks for tuning in 👍
Toyota said few weeks ago they are still making the 1hz for mining compaines but the public cant buy... shows exactly where they stand on the future of heavy duty diesel
The 1HZ is still used in developing countries along with the 4litre v6 petrol. The mining company in Newman still had 2001-2006 landcruisers which they just keep rebuilding. Also new imported 1hz as you say.
Good to see Toyota catch up with where Land Rover was a decade ago.
I couldn’t see any oil leaks lol
Thanks for having a look at the video 👍
Thanks! Very informative and quite awaited! Appreciate the efforts and time!
Thanks so much & glad you liked it
Cheers Steve 👍
Love the look but to expensive for what U get typical O What a feeling Toyota 🤬
Bonnet in Australia, not hood.
This is bowen work Toyota will go the way of the dodo
the BJ 40 to 43 had a four pot as did the Bundeena . Mid sized with the 3.4 diesel out of Diahatsu. But not a long wheel base. This 2.8 at 150kw way out ranks the six cylinder that started at 91kw I think. Longevity may be a different story of course
The good old days hey
Would love to see a short wheel base again
Time will tell on the lasting of the 2.8
Thanks for the comment
Cheers 👍
This new four cylinder Landcruiser is definitely going to slowly diminish the V8 Landcruiser for most folk who want a nicer more comfortable yet still capable off-roader - this will include the city based folk who have to deal with the stop start traffic and would rather have a daily driver and off-roader/tourer in one vehicle - I’d happily own a Troopcarrier auto for touring around Australia and city/regional lifestyle especially given the higher fuel costs for the V8 - my Hilux is a regional daily driver/gardening/touring vehicle (that’s three vehicles for the price of one!) - using the same four cylinder engine with an automatic transmission I average 10km/litre hwy and 12-13l/100km fully loaded with camping gear/aluminium canopy or around town - a lot of folk that just bought/ordered a V8 will be trying to sell them or cancel orders so it will be interesting to see which way the prices go for them as Toyota reduce V8 stock in favour of the new four cylinder auto.
Thanks for the valid input
And yeah I agree I think it def drives nice
Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment
Cheers Steve 👍
Great video Steve, a common question will be about fuel economy. How did you find it?
Hey Richard
I only done a quick 60km trip to molong and back…. It said 11.3 per hundred
That was sitting on 105 and boosting up the hills…
Thanks for watching mate 👍
Being early days thats a great start
It looks really good.... but price.... . am waiting to see the Toyota IMV 0 $10,000 modifiable truck and how it rates
Yes I would most certainly own o e
Cheers for the comment 👍
My manhood is tiny, and i am ok with that , also bad knees & no towing.
So if someone wants to give me a 2.8 auto 78 , that would be ok .
Hahahah great comment
Even myself being a tragic Nissan man I wouldn’t say no to one either
Thanks for tuning in 👍
I want the one they still sell in africa today with the 1hz motor in it 😊 do the prado and hilux motors get 1million kays out off them towing heavy caravans around Australia 🤔 and it still comes with the leaking snorkel and a skinny rear end , seriously , so ok you say if we want a good solid vehicle that will zip around its great but if you load her up with tents and gear and towing it will be crap , 👍 thank you u did a great review
We actually have some at the local cadia mine near Orange where I live….
Most I’ve seen in the workshop on a 1GD is 410 thousand so far
Heavily worked vehicle as well
Cheers for the comment 👍
@@unproadventures4142and they should at least get another 200,000 kays out off them you recon I hope so , but mining vehicles always get serviced tho at the propper times that make a huge difference
I'd prefer the 2.8 auto, it is not down on power and is slightly lighter
thanks for your input....def not short on power thats for sure
thanks again for watching 👍
Lovely Ep and 4wd. do they come with 3 seats in the front
Thanks so much
No they only come in front buckets
Cheers Steve
You can get a fill in seat for single cabs aftermarket.
I guess I was expecting a bit more from you. Lock up torque convertor, at what revs? Is there a manual lock-up button? 2nd gear starts, what about 3rd in low? What was low reverse like for holding backwards? Does the park brake hold in this model? Did Toyota fix the narrow rear axle or shorten the front to match? Is the load and tow ratings the same as previous model? Disc brake rears, or not? Did you do a fuel consumption check for comparison? Does the 4 cyl have twin tanks? Afraid I didn't learn much!
Sorry
Was just a basic look at the vehicle And what the major changes were
Cheers 👍
Wow awesome. How does it compare to a Hilux? I guess the key difference is solid front axel. Is it worth upgrading a Hilux to a 79 2.8 to get solid axel?
Well I think the comfort level and tech are def not as good and it has a awful turning circle
But it’s a true tough styled 4wd with factory lockers
Depends on what & how you want to use it for
Hope this helps
Cheers 👍
@@unproadventures4142 thanks mate. Does this come with radar cruise control?
2023 Hilux LN. 2.8 solid axles
Just with some power hey
Thanks for watching 👍
i have a question, why do most people pick the diesel over a petrol?
That’s a hard one to answer sorry
Design by Lego Masters!
Hahah nice one 👍
you do no your in a 4x4 don't .... i could't stop laughing
Yeah ok
What was the issue ?
Nope, not my cuppa tea
For the 1000 time can anyone tell me what diff ratio they are running in this? I've seached the internet and not one person has questioned this.
Hey mate
They have 4.3s in them
Hope this helps
@@unproadventures4142 Helps a lot. That makes it a fair bit more then the hilux and other 4cyl utes on the market with 3.7s or some even less. Would tow well in the toque band and be quicker then the other utes.
If you’re doing 100kmh at 2000rpm you’ll be in 5th. I test drove one the other day and struggled to get into 6th when it finally did was around 1750rpm at 100kmh. Try with power haul on
Cheers
I will give it another drive when I get the chance
What did you think ?
@@unproadventures4142 awesome. Will buy the troopy
@@kromey111 yeah nice One 👍
Finally they made a Prado Ute
Hello, what is the model code for this car?
So how much cheaper is the 2.8 ute compared to the v8
Not sure on the pricing side
Be best to check with your local dealer
Cheers 👍
Has the crash structure at least changed?
It’s sure had
I think that is the main reason for the new guards etc
Cheers 👍
How does 2.8 vibrate and shake ? Is it too annoying?
It seems to be more refined and smoother compared to a V8
What makes this better then the Hilux? Curious?
Being it’s more of a purpose built vehicle it’s hard to say it’s better… but if your after a tougher off roader and weight carrying rig this is a better option imo
The 2.8 Landcruiser should be called the LGBT Landcruiser
You do realise that Landcruisers have been available with 4cyl engines for decades?
Hahahah I will give you a star for that comment
See how they hold up
Cheers 👍
Yeah I know we've had them in the UK they have faded into oblivion They couldn't hold a candle to the inline 6 Or the V8 diesel The new 70 series is a hilu That wants to be a landcruiser Long Live the V8
Long live the redneck
Prado engine and steering wheel from Prado
It seems to be sporting some prado attributes that’s for sure
Thanks for watching 👍
Isn’t it a hybrid?.. Everyone seems to be calling it a 2.8.. It’s a 2.8 hybrid, that battery side of it should be discussed and throughly investigated for performance and reliability.
Mmm not sure where you are getting hybrid from as it’s just a 1GD engine…??
Cheers 👍
@@unproadventures4142 Really?…I thought it was a mild hybrid.
@@w_stanky the new tundra will be a 48v mild hybrid
@@unproadventures4142 fair enough, that makes the prospect even more ridiculous. They throw a 2.8 already R&D’d in the cruiser then charge V8 buyers an extra 8k for the process. V8 goes up 8k carry over model. New 2.8 comes in cheaper. They just love flogging the faithful.
How long will the engine last though?
We see a lot of 1GD engines with well over the 300k mark so far
Pretty solid engine as they are also used in a coaster bus
Damn ain’t never gonna laid in this thing….
Too much money for a 4cylinder might as well buy a Hilux!
Hilux motor in a landcruiser lol
What tray is on it?
Just a local tray builder from Orange NSW
Pretty sure it is LBR
@@unproadventures4142 Can't tell from the video but is the tray steel?
@@ggbogo935 yes tray is steel 👍
I’d definitely get the troopy version
Yeah nice
I think it will be a winner 👍
The car is empty and not towing anything.
My Hilux is ok until I tow with it.
Then it’s useless.
This is my concern too as my v8 tows great, im sure over the next 12 months we’ll find out as people buy them.
I think this will be a hot topic that’s for sure
Imagine fully loaded canopy and towing a camper trailer.
That’s why Toyota give you the option of 4cyl or V8. You buy the right tool for the job.
Bud do you get sun burnt your wearing a hat inside the ute it looks funny
It’s work branded hat mate
That’s why I wore it
bonnet needs replacement
So they drop a hilux motor in it when all the R&D is well and truly done and charge what, near 100k and also Jack the arse out of the V8 with basically no changes to compensate the Hybrid??… For what they’re asking drive away it should have the 300 series V6 in it.
There’s a few new add on to the engine & I guess people will pay for quality and a dealer network….
Would love a V6 in it but I think there would have to be a lot more changes to the braking and stability etc when that sort of power is running through this type of vehicle
Cheers for the comment 👍
@@unproadventures4142 yeah, the braking, stability and performance the 70 series deserves, after nearly 40 years of the least change of any vehicle we buy. I am glad for the most part it stuck to it roots but with the amount of crap in the new one departing from the old school cruiser of Pre DPF I think it’s time to pay it respects with their best available medium sized diesel and FFS fix the front rear track, that’s just embarrassing.
AND STILL NO GAS STRUTS FOR THE BONNET. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. SAD😢
Gad struts wear out & fail. Glad I don't have them on my Hilux.
@@glenwillson5073 I've had my 80 series, 1990 model from new and replaced them Once
its worth 40k no more
no seat belts :)
Hahahah I done well to go this long for someone to notice
👍
its not a 70 series its a hilux engine in the body of a 70 seires... disgusting money grab from toyota.. why wouldnt you buy a hilux... the fact they removed the air hole for the 2024 v8 version shows they want to make them all look the same and indistinguishable. 10 year wait list for a v8 70 series yet they are pumping out 100k units of these shitbox 4cyl around the world with no problems.. makes perfect sense.
the shape of the 70 seris is so wel kown and they go for 100k$+ with nothing on them due to them being reliable as f**k Toyota want to use the known shape but put shitbox engine inside and sell heaps of them. Toyota has gone to sh*t
it will drive well but the thing about having more cylinders s is physics this car wont see 500tho km. km easy not at all... gibve it 5 years and we will see heaps pf problems with these things in longevity. and they are pricing the same as the v8 so crazy
Def some fair comments in there & some good input
Time will tell what they are like and the longetivity of the engine etc
Cheers Steve
@@unproadventures4142 the 1GD its not a bad engine its actully prettyy dam good, but as a owner of a 70 sereis they represent heavy duty reliability. and if this is the move Toyota (leader of reliability) is making now it will set a precedent for all manufacturing... we are watching the end of heavy duty diesel which basically means end of heavy reliability. there is no reason why the new 2024, 70 series to not a 6cyl... should of been straight 6 hybrid that would of been a sick move.
Might as well save yourself sixty grand and get a Mahindra.
A what?
@@oggyoggy1299 Google it.
Do some proper off road test my Suzuki Vitira can do better 😂
Was abit hard in a vehicle I don’t own
Was mainly showing how the auto went climbing a hill 👍
@@unproadventures4142 you tell the owner don’t be a tight ass mate. ⛰️
Do a proper test with at least 33s and accessories
It was a brand new vehicle sorry that just rolled off the delivery truck
Hopefully down the track I can do a towing test etc
People need to stop calling them snorkels, its a raised air intake. If you want a snorkel youll have to go aftermarket cause that thing aint sealed proper at all. I wouldnt be surprised if Toyota has to start doing recalls on those things, they are so damn dodgy and let water into the filter
Yeah sorry of called it a raised air intake and the top hat on it is a cyclonic air filter
Thanks for having a look 👍
@@unproadventures4142 mate even the Toyota salesman I was talking to was calling it a snorkel. Its an easy mistake. its like when people call a suppressor a silencer or a mag a clip. Its irritating but what can you do. But top vid though, dont mind my little whinge. Im a prick
@@matthewh8005
Alls good man
Don’t be sorry
Thanks for the input 👍
The v8 is a showpony piece of junk hero motor
Your hatred for the v8 makes you look like an idiot, you’ve commented on just about every v8 thread out there, you’ve Bragged about how good you are and put it out there how knowledgeable you are!! Keep your shit comments to yourself Mr know it all .
