Landcruiser 79 Series - 2.8 GD6 vs 4.5 V8 | Comparison | Pricing | Safety

Toyota has recently updated its Landcruiser 79 series with the introduction of the 4 cylinder 2.8 GD6 engine. In this video I give a detailed overview on the differences between the new 4 cylinder vs the much loved 4.5l v8.
Kindly do note that I do not own the last clip in this video.

I’ve been looking for this one ☝🏾

[@esronXungu]

Id definitely buy the 4.5 .. it being an emotional decision Ofcourse 😂
Auto and 6 speed ? Interesting …
There by safety , major major upgrade

[@maxlodewyk_na]

Bro, that V8 is a legend man. It’s almost impossible to overlook it. Yes, nice safety additions definitely.

[@sandilekhoza6144]

The single cab has 2 90l tanks which is equivalent to 180l....not 130l

[@maxlodewyk_na]

Thanks for the clarity Sandile.

[@Noyota2]

In Brazil, Toyota still build the FJ45, double cab, called Bandeirante. Toyota uses the OM314 engine, an engine that is known for endurance, from Mercedes-Benz. Know the old 508D truck, or older Unimog? Well, that would explain the reliability perhaps.

[@maxlodewyk_na]

I wasn’t aware of this, thank you for sharing. Very helpful to know that reliability comes with years of experience.

[@hurelllucieer6225]

Interesting. Here in Australia the single cab only has a single 130 litre fuel tank now.

[@maxlodewyk_na]

That’s interesting to know.

[@joelnzeka6272]

There’s no V8 at Indongo Toyota yet apparently.

[@shonangava8701]

I love this review but I’m gonna need you to do a review of that GR86 in the back 😂.

[@maxlodewyk_na]

😂😂😂
I’ll try and convince them to let me do one.

[@yctestdrive]

Torque is good on 2.8, am not a fan of auto transmission. I like the front indicators. 4.5 struggles with power to weight ratio

[@maxlodewyk_na]

Yes, the 4.5 cannot tow as comfortably as the 2.8. With the manual transmission you have more control off-road, I agree. Which would you go for between the two?

[@yctestdrive]

@@maxlodewyk_na I’ll definitely go for the V8, the engine just sounds good

[@maxlodewyk_na]

@yctestdrive I agree.

[@muratatay5461]

Muhteşem ötesi çok güzel 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@user-lk3tp2yz4h]

حلم حياتي ان أشترى مثل هذه السيارة ❤

[@maxlodewyk_na]

One day, remain hopeful.

[@samuelmbokazi2318]

I do not know towing power because the v8 I have saw it towing a truck with logs in mpumalanga province JTL transport in Amsterdam

[@lodewykjerusha]

I was today years old when I found out this car falls under Toyota and why so many people dream of owning one.😅

[@maxlodewyk_na]

I am definitely here to inform you. Did you know that this is Randy's dream car?

[@lodewykjerusha]

@maxlodewyk_na I did and never understood the hype until now. The 4.5 V8 is an upgrade from the 2.8, but shu, the 2.8GD6 remains such a beauty.

[@Paddleinc]

Wish we had these in Canada. We have all the new crappy Toyotas. Poor quality.

[@maxlodewyk_na]

The Landcruiser is definitely built to last.
