All new cars suck - ruined by emissions targets, too much tech and too many beeps
emission crap can removed by a mechanic, guessing the same with all the beeps
Terry, You nailed it.
@@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing Not legally
@maverick2242 nothing is legal, most cars with luggage, passangers and downball weight of a trailer is over its GVM
This is why the Jimmy is the only good new car
Did I just see an 18 min Toyota add??
It's a Ronny Dahl video... There will never be another winner 😂 he's pushing hard on the 2.8 70 series, he's all in on it now
Just a touch bias
if he opens up his accounting for the financial year you'll see 60k from toyota
Toyota...... When only the best will do!
Toyotas sell themselves mate.
RAM 1500 Big Horn is $110k drive away. Where are you getting $230k from?
That’s the price of the discontinued TRX, which is in another league.
TRX RAM vs GXL Landcruiser. Talk about comparing apples and oranges.....
I assume he saw the RAM 3500, which is about that price. Also saw on carsales RAM 2500 brand new for 240k
Plucked it from thin air i think
the Big Horn has a high GVM and GCM
Ram 1500 isn’t $230k. Ram 2500’s brand new are $175k. They have a towing capacity of 4.5 tonne, gvm 4495 and kerb is 3600
The 1500 model referenced in the video retails in Australia for $249,950
The Ram 1500 model referenced is $249,950 aud
$95k-$130k driveaway
Not Ronnie’s best video. Loads of factual errors.
that's a derated 2500 for car license, ram 2500 can tow 8 tonne
The new Nissan patrol Y63 isn't coming with a 140L tank its around 96L off memory with rewatching the launch and fuel consumption advertised was around 10L per hundred. Sometimes it pays to get all the facts before putting out content
Given how many i see parked at my local bunnings, your Ram pricing has to be WAY off. You can get a Z71 Silverado for sub $150k
No way the Ram is over $200k
Wow, bargain
Where are you getting your facts from. My ram 1500 is mid 13l per 100 and are about 130k drive away.
Boy this is a one-eyed toyota fan prospective content.
Why wasn't the Ford Everest included? - Big miss
Ram pricing - Big Miss
Talk all about towing, vehicle weights etc why wasn't power included here then? - Big miss
Imo I would rather do a gvm upgrade on any of the "premium" vehicles showen here than blow money on trying to make a 70 series comfortable.
ram 1500 is 110k. a ram 2500 doesn't even cost anywhere near that at 170k and ram 3500 at 194k
you also didn't state the tare weight of the 78 series 2395kg
Old is the new new.
And i will continue to promote toyota for the duration of my contract
If they bring out a hybrid 250 Prado, I'll buy one. Have owned multiple diesel 4WD's and believe the hybrid petrol system is the better option these days.
Ok your details are a bit off … video seems unpolished but I get the drift.
Got a mate who works in the mines, his missus works in a well paid job, combined they can afford a decked out 300
I’d like a 70 series but it’s hard enough to pay off my sr Hilux
I think your prices likely way low, except for the ram which is just wrong
The AUS NB1 Quartermaster Cab Chassis (base trim) Petrol has a kerb weight of 2,446kg & the Diesel has a kerb weight of 2,527kg both including 90% fuel tank full & all other fluids at the correct level.
The total gross weight of both versions is 3,550kg
Higher trim levels do have a higher kerb weight. E.g. Trialmaster with dual battery, tow pack, additional wiring, RAI, KO2 tyres, diff locks, smooth pack, all adds approx. 100kg.
So with load capacity is 1,104 kg & 1,023 kg respectively with 81 litres of fuel. Most manufacturers either don't include the fuel or don't state if it does or not when they quote a kerb weight.
So if you add a Norweld canopy & tray at 289 kg and the extras for Trialmaster spec at 100 kg that still leaves 700 kg & 625 kg respectively. Logic says you would add an extended fuel tank at the same time.
Ronny were the hell do you get your figures from once again you can't believe any thing you say i can get a ram 1500 for $90 k drive away free service for three years rego and sales tax PAID stock drive away from Rockingham RAM. Why didn't you include the Silverado $110 Drive away carries 1100 kgs?
Ronny, I think you are quoting a Ram TRX. There are Ram Tradesman in the $90 K range and you left out Ram 2500 as an option.
If you're actually going off road, the only option left these days is the 70 Series. Too much nonsense on the new trucks, you'll get stuck as soon as one of the sensors start to panic. The 70, and maybe the Jimny are the only proper off roaders left... the market knows it too, look at their used prices, even Jimny's are absurdly overpriced... at least in NZ.
Ram 1500 is $95k to $130k brand new drive away. I think you've priced a 2500
No mention of Lexus GX550 😀
as we dont get in the U.S. the LC 300 or 70 series most off roaders car campers ovelanders would buy , gas engine is fine with us , so we have to pick the GX550 overtrail base model moonroof delete not loaded with every luxury car option in the book
Ronny I’m no expert but i believe the price you quoted for RAM is not correct, the picture you showed was a DS model which sold for 110 to 115k and the new model DT sells for around 120 to 150k
Love your channel mate but ditch the AI images.
Toyota south Africa lists the 250 prado as having a 110L fuel tank. Make sense as it runs the same chassis as the 300
Seriously what a load of BS. Where are you getting these figures from? $$$ are way out. Fuel use. What? Y62 140l tank with the only info on it is 10.9l per 100 which is 1280kms. Where you on the sauce when you filmed this? Is it a coincidence that the top 3 you have put are toyota's?
What kind of tariffs and taxes do they have on the Ram. Even converting the Australian currency to US that’s a crazy price for a Ram.
I heard it's a lot but even the prices he listed for the other Japanese vehicles theirs is cheaper
95k to 150k drive away. Don't know where he gets his figures from.
Right hand drive cost?
The Aussie RAM website lists the 1500 between $115-175k drive-away (that's US$75-115k). (other people have commented here that the $230 quoted in the video is probably for the 2500) A lot of the price would be due to the fact RAM doesn't do right hand drive, and so it's not an official import by RAM. They are imported and converted locally to RHD by Ateco Group, or the Australian Tractor and Engineering Company. Australia has an official tariff of 5% on vehicles, but because most cars come from countries that we have free trade agreements with, we practically don't have tariffs. We do have a 33% luxury car tax that kicks in above US$53k (that was invented to protect our own car assembly industry which is now dead & gone, but the taxes are not). There's exemptions on the lux tax for "Commercial vehicles designed to carry goods rather than passengers, which can spare some high end trucks. The exemption is based on the vehicle's payload over the passenger carrying capacity." (That's from the Tax office website. They also have an example that highlights we have a ridiculously low 68kg per seat design rule ~150Lbs~. Many Aussies are obese and even if you're not you'd have to be tiny & skinny to weigh 68kg or less). Then there's 10% sales tax, locally known as GST. Unlike the USA, it's raised at a federal level, so it's the same across the country. Then we have stamp duty at state level (in my state it'd be 6.5% on all these vehicles), and last but not least we have annual registration fees (in my state that also includes compulsory 3rd party insurance), often based on vehicle weight so all these vehicles would be about US$1,000. And for good measure there's also sales tax on the luxury tax, on the stamp duty and on the registration. Just so the governments get their share of your vehicle. So that's your drive away price of $115-175k.
Ram is 230000 if it's the trx, it's price is 90-120
250 Prado has 110l tank dude
The 70 with an interior upgrade, coil conversion and rear axle correction is pretty much unbeatable... But should come with all that stock for the price.
The most wanted are 80/105 series, 40 series, Prado, & GQ/GU
in the U.S SAME 80 /40 series , LEXUS GX470 V8 aka prado also we have the 4runner my most wanted , no patrol sold new in the U.S. since 1969 , we do have the Y62 sold as the lame named armada . but like most wagons sold in the U.S a 3 row luxury family school bus . loaded with all the power luxury car bits
"6 most wanted cars" and 3 are Toyota?
🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
lemme guess.. Toyota wins?
ranger is the top selling or "most wanted" ute
why is that not here?
a ranger raptor might actually make this video watchable
I wouldn't even consider a Ford Ranger again. Many Mine sites in Australia initially switched from the Toyota Hilux to the Ford Ranger, but after just a year, most reverted back to the Hilux because the Rangers simply couldn't handle the demands of everyday work and we’re experiencing more wear and tear issues.
Last year, our company purchased six brand-new Ford Rangers. We're now down to just three. Two of the vehicles suddenly stopped functioning entirely and were sent back to the dealership, where no one has been able to diagnose the issue. It's been seven months, and at this point, we doubt we'll ever see them back in operation.
And they are talking about going back to toyota Hilux also, as all our work is Mine site work in the Pilbara.
@FoLlOwThEwHiTeRaBbIt1 most folks aren't in the mines, l got a few strange looks when l was in the Pilbara in my amarok but at that time when l did 110k in 13 months with comms work I'm buying a V6 diesel with a nice interior as l spend a lot of my life in my ute
yeah I've heard nothing good about rangers but it is the top selling ute and this Toyota channel could've put a V6 ranger/Amarok in, it's clear why he didn't
Ronny is comprised in his content and most videos are laughable
his Ram price is massively incorrect, will he fix the video? of course not, it's deliberate, just like the incorrect grenadier range
@@FoLlOwThEwHiTeRaBbIt1we are having similar issues with our hilux's in the pilbara, most of them are in the garage once a month getting something fixed, they aren't like they used to be, they have the market share in mines now and will probably stay that way now as it would cost too much to change over to another make
Not surprised
Using your numbers - the math is a little off. Prado is not the worst. GVM should have Prado 250 in 4th with 630 (3150 - 2520 = 630... not 580). Better than Ram & 300 relegated to equal 5th AT 620kg. Interestingly, the Prado 150 at 665 (2990 - 2325 = 665) beats the 250.
One day with $50,000 budget with wagons only with say approx $15 to $30 engine swap and drive train rebuild or engine rebuild $20k for mods compared to modern vehicles with gvms note for vic only gvm 100/105 to 3700kg and patrol to 3495kg can be done $6000k inc engineering cheers take some research 😅
RAM 1500s getting bad reputation for bent chassis due to overloading, owners not understanding payload
I spend 99.9% of the time on the road. I think if I was going to do something really challenging I would get something old that wouldn’t bother me if it broke.
whats with all the AI generated images?!
New Prado is too expensive for what it is … I mean a GXL with no rear diff lock and it costs $89k
My 2012 Prado ZR has 3 Tonne Towing Cap, but I dont know anyone who has a trailer that heavy to try out.
On the towing segment:
Having towed a 3.5 ton trailer (loaded to that weight) multiple times now with a Grenadier, I feel comfortable in saying it tows like a dream.
I have had one moment where my trailer was behaving a bit sketchy, but that was on account myself doing a bad job at loading it, and the weight was way too far back, but there were three 750kg prefab concrete slabs on my trailer so I couldnt just move them forward a few centimeters.
@casper6800 the grenadier looks like a luxury car in person
@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing It definitely has a lot of luxurious features. But if the brochure says it can tow 3.5 ton, you can be damn sure Im going to pull 3.5 ton with it.
And on the topic of luxury, arguably, Im stepping down.
Since my previous car for towing was a Disco 4, which also pulls 3.5 ton but is a lot less forgiving due to its lower tongue weight rating (350kg vs 150kg)
A tow truck driver was telling me he has had a lot of Rams broken down and I wouldn't say there are that many on the road...
I drive a tilt tray and have more landcruisers than rams on it.
@@craigpeacock5352 yeah when you have 18000 rams compared to 1 million LandCruisers statistically you should get a few more
Why does everyone forget about the new defender. Give it a chance to fight at least
Agree 100%. I have one and love it. Excellent both on and off road. Amazing inline 6 twin turbo diesel and petrol, V8 supercharged petrol as well other choices. Same 8 spd zf transmission as the ineos. Centre and rear diff lock. Can convert to 18inch wheels if desired. And it's really not that difficult to read the user manual on the 4x4 system. I challenge anyone to test drive one when shopping for a vehicle.
@user-pp6kw6yl6z 18" runs are too large for off road work.
Plus, the topic of the video lists the 6 most desirable off-roaders. The new Defender is not in that league.
As someone who's owned something from the green oval for over 25 years, there's nothing in their catalogue that does it for me anymore.
@k2svpete cheers for the reply. I've also got a gu patrol with 16" wheels and get the wheel size concerns but i really believe only during the hardest offroading does wheel size ever really come in to play. I'm not a fantasizer about what sort of offroading I do in my vehicles and personally believe that 18's would be perfectly fine for most people. 20's not so much off road which is probably the only issue I have with land rovers defender specification.
And agree maybe the defender isn't in the top 6 desirable vehicles but that doesn't deter me at all. I'm not a Toyota fanboi and look past resale value as a primary motivator much to my financial detriment. I do accept though that 70 series cruisers and the grenadier are really a different class of vehicle and no doubt more durable in extreme conditions. I spent far too much time driving on the road though to have a vehicle so compromised for on road driving.
@user-pp6kw6yl6z that's why I have enjoyed my early discoveries. I think LR got the formula right there with the combination of comfort and capability.
18s may be alright in a LT construction on a decent gravel road but I'd not trust them past that. You just don't have the sidewall height if you're running less than 35s.
@k2svpete wholeheartedly agree that LR were on to a good thing with the early discoveries. I really do miss the days of simpler vehicles that were still comfortable and capable ie GQ/GU patrols, 80/105 landcruisers and disco 1/2.
Not sure about the price of the ram 1500 🧐
The model referenced is $249,950 aud
Aussies have huge tariffs on them
If we are only putting these 6 on the table for my own choices, then I would only pick two. The two I would choose is the Y63 Patrol and the Grenadier. Why those two? Well let's start with the Patrol. Here in the states we do not call it a Patrol, but instead the Armada. I can tell you that it is a straight out Luxury Vehicle that can haul a family around town and on long trips as needed. Also here in the States(who knows about Down Under) it is being equipped with the VR Series Engine which was introduced in the Nissan GTR. It is a powerhouse with great reliability based off the VQ Series Engine. Of course you still need to do the maintenance or it will fail(and that applies to any vehicle you have). That said I would not bother taking it OffRoad. It tells me that it doesn't belong there.
As for the Ineos Grenadier, I would have fun with that as a Tourer. I'm pretty sure anyone here would enjoy that simply for the classic look and the way it was designed. The review you have given so far makes that pretty cool to understand, but I'm not going out and buying one as I do enjoy my 2012 D40 Frontier.
Why not a Ram? Because I have seen how much they are truly not worth. They are absolute garbage.
Why not a Toyota? I have way too many reasons here, but let's just go off of the good old Toyota Tax!! Way too many individuals think I should over pay for something that does not get that great of fuel range(at least in the states) and definitely doesn't have the power. Also let's face it...... You pay how much for a 70 Series and get how much? I can't justify the price. It just doesn't make sense.
None of these cars here in oz are value anymore. Too much tech and are marketed for the dream, most spend their life in the town. The American cars are insanely priced as well.
They have replaced the family wagon. I don’t see how the average person can afford them.
@@billmccarthy5920 look at any modern vehicle today any you will find a bunch of tech, you are correct about that. Here in the States the only truck I would consider buying new is the D41 Frontier. It's the only Truck that is still pretty basic even with all the tech that is on there. Everything else is just too much. Should I also mention that it's easy to work on and still priced well?
@@chrisfanchier2318 true. I personally just bought a low mileage (175km) 1992 GXL 80 series manual turbo diesel for $35k AUD. drives beautifuly and very easy to self maintain with virtually no electrics. I just can’t justify a new car but still do remote camping trips with the missus. Has no airbags or antilock brakes though.

Because people f with them… catch cans, tunes, etc etc. perfectly fine engine if you just leave it alone and don’t try to make it “better”.
@@operation4wheelz loads of stock standard ones also fail.
@@6226superhurricane nothing compared to the others. Especially rangers.
The 2.8l has never cracked a piston mate. It's the 3l. Also since the DPF hardware & software updates in 2022, there haven't been any reported DPF issues.
You forgot Gx 550
I thought the new Prado 250 has a 110 litre fuel tank. If so it would significantly alter the range ranking (currently own a 2023 Prado with dual tanks)
it does. Ronny got this one wrong.
@petero1 Actually it doesn't it actually only has an 80L fuel tank. I checked on Toyota's website here in Japan.
@@Car-crazy I have specs issued by Toyota Australia to my dealer. It lists 110l between two tanks, just like the 300 series. It better be right since I am committed 🙂
@@petero1 seems like the tank size is different for different countries. Seems a bit strange that, but maybe due to Australia being so big, they put a bigger fuel tank I suppose.
You're NOT weighing the fuel and adding it to the payload! And the Ram 1500 isn't $230k! There's a reason I haven't watched you for ages....you're not factual or relevant anymore
Kerb weight includes full tank of fuel.
13:00 "luxury 300 series"?
theres nothing luxury about any toyota
Some people in aus seem to think these LoserCruisers are luxury vehicles
the base LC300 GX is a basic utilitarian wagon, not a 3 row luxury family school bus , those are the next trims up , the luxury is a wagon that will last 20yrs and 250k miles we cant have LC300s in the U.S. we get the over priced not to utilitarian Sequoia TRD PRO $80k U.S.
@youtubecarspottersguide1 luxury is galvanised body panels, great power/economy, great glass that doesn't crack every 15k like Toyota, real leather (my 20yo leather looks brand new), great sound proofing, great stereo, heated seats that burn you, a beautiful interior where time/money has been spent
I'm talking X5, Q7/SQ5, Toureg, cayenne/macan, range rover, Bentley

@@user-pp6kw6yl6zthat’s why we now have the GX550
Nice, but so expensive. Good video. Greetings from Germany
Went to DI last week and the only broken down vehicles I saw were ALL Toyota's. This reliability claim is total BS. They are as big a shitbox as anything else on the road.
The new Prado will be a lemon. Just look at all the failures the new Toyota's are having in the USA.
When you sell way more vehicles than other manufacturers, of course you are going to have more breakdowns.
The breakdowns that you saw, was it manufacturer related? After market accessory related? Driver error?
@simmo6035 They don't sell more than all other brands combined though. Let's not forget also many Toyota's are fleet vehicles and tge Ford Ranger is the biggest selling vehicle in Aus.
Two were on tilt trays driving past and the third was on the side of the road which looked like an axle or bearing.
I can’t be the only one who else wants to see Ronny do a RAM TRX review? 😅
Nissan died back when they stopped the GU patrol...
You realise they only finished GU Patrol production in 2023 right?

@@Ktmfan450 ok thanks.
Says everyone that hasnt driven a y62 😍
I wonder if Toyota will ever bring the 2.4L Turbo Hybrid powertrain outside the North American market, because that is a pretty nice piece of kit (326hp & 630Nm)
Very interesting especially when it comes to weight. My 22 year old 3.5L Petrol Pajero gets better L/100km than half of them averaging in around 14L/100Km and I have a higher pay load than half as well with around 730kg although my towing capacity is only 3000kg. Why the hell would anyone want to spend so much on a Ram with such a low Payload, GVM & Towing capacity? I honestly thought they would be 4000kg towing at least. Really enforces the stereotype that they are compensating for something.
Hope you have chance to sometime review also some Chinese offroads as Bao 5, Tank 300-400, U8 etc. many of them are hybrids with 600+ hp and range over 1000km, so would be interesting to hear perspectives from somebody that has lot of real life off-road experience!
Ronny, go easy on all the AI images mate. They've certainly got their place, but very overdone here, especially when you're inaccurately portraying all the vehicles.. It's coming across as a bit rushed, clickbaity content. Some of your older stuff seemed a bit more genuine and thoughtful. Things like introducing the six vehicles you want to talk about first would also be a good idea. I don't mean to be critical, but thought you might appreciate the feedback. Cheers for the content nonetheless!
Why didn’t add the next gen Ford Everest? I would have thought you add the cars that are already on the market not cars that haven’t even arrived to market.
Great info. Been out of the loop for a while and this has been great as I’m looking to buy a new 4wd soon. Prob go with the 300 series and upgrade the GVM.
We can't get those in the USA
Been driving an 88 hilux since 91.

Don't know much about the LC 300, but for a vehicle that size to get under 10l to the 100? Questionable. 🤷🏻♂️
The chuckle when you said .. soccer practice 😂😂
It would be great to compare off-road dual-cabs expensive to cheap, like GWM Cannon XSR, to Ram 1500 TRX, ford raptor, SILVERADO ZR2, Toyota HiLux Rogue, Nissan Navara SL Warrior. Which one is not only the best for off road but in terms of mods to be able to do extreme off roading.
I know you drive a 70 series, but I can't help but think safety should be rated in these as well. Especially for those with a family. I know Harry from Fire to Fork drives a Prado for a reason.
Also Prado GVM of 3150 minus kerb weight 2520 is 630kg
Literally none of them. Glad I bought my ZR2.
You're wrong about the ram. We took one for a week and did 812kms on 1 tank which is 95litres. They're actually quite good on fuel, tow 4.5 ton.
Kerb weight on the RAM is 2617kg. No idea where you're getting 2880kg from. Probably more made up bullshit.
Everyone needs to ratio this video. Utter bullshit.
70 Series still the best
We spent ages looking at potential replacement for our aging 105 Series 1hz.
We watched all your initial videos about the VDJ v 2.8L vehicles.
You know what sold us?
We live in a remote community in the NT. My wife is a teacher here. She drove the schools V8 Troopy once at the start of the year during the wet season. (We were flooded/muddied in town for almost 3 months)
We now have a 2018 V8 GXL Troopy that we’ve added a roof top conversion to. Just came back from the Oombulgurri track and the Troopy is a BEAST!
Love it.
Hi Roni
I recently changed my 3 year old Dual Cab 79 V8 for a Dual cab 79 2.8ltr.
I tow a 29ft 3500Kg 5th wheeler full time around Aust.
Maybe because of the goose neck tow ball connection point over the rear axles the thing tows like a DREAM even though the car is lighter than the van. can you do a segment on how much better 5th wheeler s are to tow etc.
If it can't bush bash without writing itsl3f off its not capble in my opinion
From a European view, we all love the 70 series, but struggle with supply, but it seems you need to chuck 10's of thousands at it to make it work, axle correction, seats, soundproofing, suspension. My Stock IG two seat van is the dogs, just swapped out the Bfgs for Cooper stt pros for UK mud. I work in forestry and fencing, and come from an oil exploration background. Best completely stock vehicle was the 2007 2.4 tdci defender. Sadly missed. Or older solid axle hilux. Are you doing any longer trips, I'd like to see you and Torbs do the Canning.
What is your opinion of the Dacia Duster diesel 1.5 liter?
I don’t know where the $230,000 tag comes from for the ram 1500. That truck is $50,000 all day long, maybe $80,000 after aud conversion and shipping, what are you even talking about. Plus your numbers on GVM or as we say GVW are way off from the manufacturers numbers. This is from a Canadian who knows metric.
not sure where you got 16.6 for the Patrol, when Nissan said that it would be 24% lighter on fuel, which makes the 14.4 of the current V8 a 10.6. I'm a little confused
Ronnie.... pleeeze never buy a Ram 1500. $230k for a Ram 1500 the dealer obviously smells your money! Otherwise where ever you plucked your figures from casts doubts on any information your spruiking.
Toyota bias😳😳..not much.😝🤪😜😛
What a lot of rubbish from this bloke - go do more research and get your facts right mate!
New prado will fit 33s stock, they can fit 35s with a mild lift and some guard trimming, obviously will need engineering to be legal. From being here for the past few years, most Perthians just want to run around on big rubber and don't really do much serious touring, so I'm expecting to see a shitton of big rubber prados in a year or two, travel range be damned. Might hopefully force the other manufacturers to fit big rubber from stock, I'd love to see a vehicle with stock 35s on the market. Can really get some capable rigs built with that as a starting point!
If im correct.the ram should have a higher GVM. But because of licensing laws the GVM is reduced? Am i right?
Still can't get my head around your GVM rules as a kiwi, just looks like a bunch of BS tbh
And like you say about the 70, yeah its a good vehicle but $90k just for a stock one is BS.
Interestingly the LC70 in the middle east comes with the 4.0L engine.
After extensive research for a grey nomad multiple big laps use case, the best solution was an LC300 GXL with a pre rego Lovells 3800 gvm upgrade, which also increased the CGM as a bonus.
i personally think jimny is the best for me
2 year waiting list for the Prado Altitude so had to buy GX 550. Toyota need to get their act together when servicing the Australian market
A Toyota fortuner would be a budget option with a few small mods, they can tick all the box’s.
But a great insight vid, in how to look at purchasing the next rig for exploring.
Keep up the great work
First comment and view!
From experience, using a manufacturer's kerb weight is fraught with risk. Toyota is known for publishing tare weight much less than actual, which leaves the difference to GVM stupidly small. Similarly a manufacturer's fuel consumption can be way off the mark in practical use, and even more so when a vehicle is modified and roof-top equipment added. Aerodynamic drag is dependent on both shape and cross-section, so a small increase in cross-section on a much larger vehicle won't affect its drag/fuel consumption as much as a large increase in cross-section on a smaller vehicle. For the life of me, I can't understand why the OEMs don't offer factory GVM upgrades.
At the end just buy what 4wd that makes you happy
If you want to buy 4WD don't ask someone. Just go with the most trusted brand, Toyota, Nissan or Mitsubishi. If you chose other brand, your Stu#*D.
Towing capacity vehicle weight vs trailer: the other day I was cruise control at speed limit heading Sth through Mandurah when a RAM overtook me pulling a caravan. The caravan looked as new as the truck, but what struck me most, apart from a caravan being towed above the speed limit, was that even the RAM wasn't level at the rear. That's a 2.5T vehicle, imagine what they've got stowed away in their c'van.
Also Rhonny, I seriously would love for you to take the Ineos Grenadier down to the Tank Museum for fun a do a comparison of it against a Tank in the Funniest Way POSSIBLE!!!! 🤣 PLEASE!!!!
Too much tech. I just want a solid reliable fourby. Not an overpriced luxury suv /car wannabe. Made for people who dont even go offroad or tow anywhere.
Mention payload and towing. Didn't mention ball weight which is included in payload. 80kg up to 250kg + on big vans. Also a GVM upgrade, if car is then loaded to that GVM, cuts down your tow weight unless you get a GCM upgrade which is very difficult post rego. Two big factors in a tow vehicle you "forgot" to mention.
I really like Ineos but price!I mean price of any car nowadays!😢
Prado 250, 2.8 Diesel 110l fuel capacity South Africa.
When such an “open ended” question gets asked , something exactly like this: the response , situation depending , should be and is usually the most unlikely one that a person would least expect.
In this case , my answer would lean towards the Very Licensed and Very Legal Name .. with very Real make and model numbers if name doesn’t work.
Toyota Hilux - Rugged . The collab with an Australian 4x4 riders company, offering customisation to 12 or 24v system, crawl modes , harness options if that’s a route you’d want to go. All factory warranted etc. couldn’t go wrong for price point , definitely shop around coz they do vary from shop to shop. But ultimately Ultra affordable.
What’s the GVM of the 70?
in the U.S. most wagons /s.u.v. are more of a 3 row luxury family school bus ,than utilitarian wagon to camp out of, sample = sequoia trd pro cargo space fold down 3rd row takes up all the cargo space , we cant have LC 300 or 70 series wagon and troopy van here , as for payload defender 110 , chevy tahoe almost 2000 lbs if one buys low spec basic model with out power fold tilt this and that luxury car bits = more payload and towing
man u not mentioning any of the others that are so much better ....
Oh that settles it. I am going to buy a Y63. Where can I buy one? What it’s not due to be released until the end of 2026! Then why is it in this comparison?
I just seen a new Dodge ram bighorn $115,000 drive away
Why did they remove the sub tank from the new 250? That was such a huge selling point!
So Ronny, you do know the Y63 won't be available in Australia for at least 2 or more years right ?
