    The title of this video is "IVECO DAILY 4X4 REVIEW Versus Toyota Land Cruiser 79 DC "
    How will the Iveco Daily 4x4, or similarly-sized 4WD trucks, work as overland platforms when compared with say, a Toyota Land Cruiser double-cab? I find out.

    They're a great truck - as long as you mod the circlip in the transfer case to stop if falling out( voiding your warranty), extend and replace the breather to stop it blowing seals, and re-engineer the transfer case mounts to stop it flopping around, and if the diff locker computer actually engages the diff locks... read unsealed 4x4 issue 57 for a honest review after 5 years of ownership.

    • @JonDingle
      @JonDingle 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Even the trysty Unimog isn't exempt from the odd issue. I have driven a U500 regularly and more recently a U1400 and they had both experienced issues. However, Unimogs are the ultimate workhosrse I agree. The Daily is for a different market sector and given the choice of a new Defender (Soon to be known as a Defuncter when those 85 ECU's start playing up) or a Daily then the Daily gets the order. Old Defender's would also win before buying a new one subject to the job needs.

    • @philhealey449
      @philhealey449 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@JonDingle Agreed, but the only issues I have had in the extreme wilds with my 22 year old Unimog have been a fractured oil breather banjo bolt (fixed with a homemade wooden plug) and need for looking out for fretting of wires and pneumatic pipes. Apart from that, the thing is more reliable than your heartbeat especially when tackling deep river crossings or ludicrous blizzards . I've had no hub gear overheating or oil migration issues even on 900 km motorway thrash . Now building my second Unimog camper after 5 happy years of the first. I don't think new Iveco residual values will equate either with nil depreciating old Unimogs or ever appreciating proper Defenders.

    @aussiedrifter 5 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    G'day Andrew, All I can say is you do get used to it after about a week, no matter the number of times you get in & out, you adapt to the
    beast. We did with our HINO 4X4 which has a working payload of 5000 Kg & a larger beast to the Iveco, the only addition I made was the addition of a third step similar to a Mercedes that folds up in rough terrain mate, I don't think you would be disappointed with the Iveco considering your work & long term needs.
    The Landcruiser sized vehicles are all fun & easy to drive & you can camp for a week or two alright but for full time living or really extended living & working from (as in your case) you do need the real thing, not a weekly warrior.
    Safe Travels Mate, Steve.

      @@zenmachine50 Yes you are correct on that point, However, you missed the point of the test as Andrew is considering upsizing his next rig he will build so he has the room to sit & edit his work as he goes & also a more comfortable
      setup for when his wife Gwen accompanies him. Speaking from my own experiance with the HINO you fold back
      the air ride seats armrest, step through into the pod you have your dinette, fully equiped kitchen then on to the
      seperate bedroom & finally to the full ensuite bathroom. Sorry, I left out the fully airconditioned & the seperate
      washer & dryer combo. You can also park in most places a Landcruiser goes & we only setup our outside amenities
      when we are stopping for more than 2 days to a month, but for just the night there is no setup no foldups no popups
      & no slide outs, were just at Home.

      If you permit, just take a look at my last video's from the Pyrenees. I have a shortened Oberaigner Sprinter with permanent 4x4, good reduction and 3 diff locks. Before that I had a Discovery 4 and therefor a Discovery 2. My Sprinter does better than the Disco2, but just a bit less good than the Disco 4. The Disco 4 had a superb traction control, the short Sprinter lacks that. The Sprinter is multifunctional, good & fast on roads, has a very short turning radius and is good for overlanding. It is not for technical trials and it feels more scary when tilting sideways.

      This one purpose vehicle, a toy if you wish. Obviously I don’t mean it as the vehicle itself is a toy, far from it.

      I don’t want to divert, but when was the last time any country won a war...?? Last war I know that there was an actual winner was the ‘67 war of Israel, before that was WWII, then go back to the Boer War and then 1776 independence war which was followed by the Spanish war, everything up today after ‘67 was settled or abandoned with no clear winner, and as all wars there’s never a winner due to the human cost not including the financial detriment.
      But that’s enough of the war thing, but back to your Italians buying Italian, Britain bought landrovers, Germany France Austria Switzerland Holland Belgium Australia use Mercedes G wagons and the SAS & SBS services of the UK. The US used Humvees, Japan made there own version of the Humvee (Toyota) very similar just better, so meaning all countries will usually purchase their own country made vehicles due the the reasons you stated, besides the Iveco is a good vehicle due to the decent engineering of the transfer cases, axels and gearboxes, the engine is a generic PSA block used by various manufacturers, reliability is pretty good considering although I would’ve used a VM Motor, which is Italian so patriotic is still there but the robustness and reliability is outstanding with excellent power.
      Land Rover made the UK military defender which actually shared none of the specifications of the civilian sibling, chassis, axels, electrics, but it was still unreliable like it’s civilian sibling...

    Having also driven one offroad, with a camper body as I was debating whether I'd want one as my future global overlander, I have to agree that they're extremely capable vehicles. Not particularly in tight spots with trees, but that's the nature of the vehicle, however it definitely turns better than a 70 series, Patrol etc. so you definitely have a level of confidence with it.
    The only issue I can see is the actual licence required to drive it overseas as you're generally issued up to 3500kg GVM when you get your international licence, despite being allowed a much higher weight on an Aussie licence. Luckily I'm an older(ish) fart with a UK licence allowing me to drive a larger vehicle which would appear on the international licence, however it could be an issue at some borders when getting insurance (pretty sure the earth cruiser guys found this out years ago). Still not buying one though, as I imagine the stress levels of driving a vehicle this big, with the steering wheel on the wrong side through any major global city would not be pleasant. Perfect for Oz though.

    About 3 months back you were looking into the 6x6 landcruiser option to which I thought was an interesting proposition. I made the suggestion to have a good look at an Iveco daily as they(in my opinion) are superior in comparison for an over land vehicle, all things considered. I'm very pleased you've had a drive and clearly 'you know you want one' that smile was constant behind the wheel, can't say the same with the 79 series. It's almost like toyota gave you half the vehicle but charged full price to which you then 'altered, improved, completed, added' your wants and needs to. The Iveco should be your next trade, you'll be a happy and a slightly fitter individual if you do. Great video as always, love your work.
