NO TRACK CORRECTION HAS BEEN DONE! UH OH... 😮 i will run through this vehicle in detail as soon as i can, answer any questions you may have etc...
Ide love to grab a 2024 cab n fab to a 80 or 105 chassis for less than 1/2 the price and double the off road capability. I still drive my old 80 but would love a new 70 but the track on the diffs is what makes me not want to spend double the price of what these 4wds are worth.. They look nice but what I want is solid axle coil sprung triple locked manual windows no fancy shit vinyl floored landcruiser for about $40k aussie coins. guess im a dreamer but they would sell hundreds of thousands of them
I think it’s way better looking than the previous ones to be honest. I wasn’t originally feeling that way, but this retro look is actually more stylish to be honest
Mate %100, well said that's what I was trying to get at when I said it seems more modern, when you see it in person it just looks better, I miss the old bonnet it's nice. But It's absolutely fine without it, cheers
@@OutbackOffroadNT yeah I definitely like the old bonnet too, but I think this actually looks better. I sold my 2020 troopy just too big and heavy for my use, and planned on getting a 76 instead. I definitely will be now with this new look. Admittedly I’m going to probably only have the option for the 2.8, but I’m not towing so I don’t care. The latest 2.8 actually go alright in the hilux. Enjoy man. I’m jealous 😎
Yeah fair enough man, the 2.8 will be fine I reckon mate, and yes my current hilux goes great with that engine, I've got it in manual, goes good. 76 series are awesome 👌
Definitely looks better in person I must admit 👍🏻
Yep big time mate, I was pleasantly surprised!
Bring back the old turbo straight six update it for emission, boost the power to 175kw/600nm and u got a winner
Mate, that'd be fantastic 👌
Stars aligned
In Papua New Guinea they have been in country for a month now with the 1HZ version. Pretty basic was our version though. In my opinion its just exactly the same as the previous version, no wheel allighnment correction. The only downside, since I have owned one (the previous versions) and taken them off road constantly, is the front grill. This new version,the gaps are much wider and will be a problem in deep water crossings where floating debris will get through and do damage to the radiator.
Hi mate, the 1HZ is a good reliable engine, I miss it to be honest. That's interesting and a good point about the grille letting debris in, I'd say it will be good for cooling though, good airflow. Cheers 🍻
Gee, some of the comments on here are some very unhappy individuals that will never be happy. There’s never any need to be nasty. I love the look of this thing. My personal taste is this truck/Ute of yours and the wagon which would be great for me. Best looking out of all the LandCruisers in my opinion. Awesome content
Yeah I don't understand the nasty comments but hey that's the internet mate, yep my faveroute vehicle. cheers 🍻
Congratulations on the new rig mate. My wife and I have been waiting since June 2022 for a dual cab 79 and still nothing. Was told by Toyota it could be at least another year until we get it.
Thankyou mate, yeah I was expecting to be waiting another year to, i ordered when you did, I do know that some dealers get allocated more stock then others, here in Alice Springs we obviously have plenty of cruisers getting around. Sometimes you can get lucky if someone has cancelled their order. Cheers
@@OutbackOffroadNT Look forward to future videos on the new rig mate 🤙🏻
Bloody oath, im going to rip into it with this new rig, thanks for watching!
Shortages and picking up cancelled orders have happened before the current dramas. Got my single cab 79 in early 2009. Back then with the GFC cancelled orders I could get a white GXL no diff locks straight away or I could go on the waiting list and then Fukushima happened and deliveries stopped. Be flexible. Get what will do the job and make the most of it with no regrets. Just my 2 cents worth. Opinions vary. I did want dark blue and factory diff locks but am happy with how it turned out.
I havent seen one in person yet mate, but judging on what ive seen, i cant say i love the look.
Yeah fair enough mate, I love it, the black grille, flares and wheels just set it off so much better. Miss the scoop but not a deal breaker, I was on the fence a little, then I saw it up close and appreciated it.
@@OutbackOffroadNT yeah, gonna miss that scoop. 😅
So nice. I may have to move to Australia just so I can own one.
They are! Are they not available in your country?
Tragically, no, not in the US. I have to watch Aussie videos to see them, and nearly anything with a diesel engine other than a ute (pickup truck).
I suppose range is valued a bit more down under than here. Is that because the average distance between gas stations is greater there? I don’t know.
Oh okay that makes sense, distances are vast here, it can be 1000km between anywhere in some places, typically if your heading into the bush, very remote places you need to be extremely self sufficient.
I here you mate, manual gear shift all the way 👍
Yep looks better outside the toyota advertising.
Waiting on my dual cab hopefully early next year.
For sure! Yes definitely looks better, congrats sounds like you went the v8 manual?
Great choice you cannot beat the v8 manual😊 They will eventually discontinue the v8 diesel Replace it with that City care 2.8 4 Cylinder Yours will skyrocket in price
Yeah definitely mate, it's a good setup, will be interesting with no more v8 soon! $$
I live in the uk I only wish we had the choice of the 4.5 V8 diesel manual in the uk Unfortunately our engines are getting smaller Every year Only Puftas Will buy 2.8
Got a Sandy Taupe on order - but 4cyl... Going to put the Graphite colour coded steel tray on it so it breaks the colour up a bit.
Oh, and yep, I'll go the Toyota bar for the same reason. My farm is Kangeroo city - despite the 223 working OT.
Beautiful mate, something different I like it, I was going to build my own tray and paint it black. Plans changed I still will build one down the line, yep there's always plenty of roos around.
Not a bad Xmas present enjoy
Thankyou mate, you have yourself a nice Xmas break, cheers 🍻
Hey just saying they did make the 40/60/70 series with a 4cylinder so it’s not all bad, remember the 3B 3.4 litre. My dad had one in a shorty 40 with a huge turbo, mega lag, lots of black smoke, was a demon off road.
Mate as I was recording the vid I was thinking about this haha, your dead right. I think it'll be tough for some to get used to though especially for the price, cheers
🙌💯
They look good I reckon!
Rear track correction?
@@barrykemp6153 read pinned comment mate, cheers
Manual transmission all the way
I agree 💯
Your exactly right with the V8 diesel solid axle vs 4cyl ifs people just don’t get it until you drive one that’s why they hate I think
Yeah I've had my fair share of ifs vehicles and I much prefer solid axle. Each to their own.
With the new bonnet has the turbo intercooler been relocated on the V8 to the front ?
Thinking the same here
Intercooler in same spot mate, its running a similar setup to the 200 series, air tunnels run under the bonnet onto intercooler, gets its air from the top of the grille
@@OutbackOffroadNT they are a great looking rig I see a four cylinder Troopcarrier in my retirement plan
@@kisbushcraftdownunderbeautiful mate 👌
I wish I could head down to my local Hawai’i Toyota dealer to buy one like yours. I might want a more basic one as long as it has A/C I miss the simplicity of my Dad’s 1995 Tacoma (US Hilux) 5-spd manual, hand crank windows and manual locks. It was an Xtra cab 4x4 V6 and he sold it to a friend of my sister when the engine lost compression on a cylinder in 2017 and got a Double Cab (crew cab) short bed (5’) SR 4-cylinder 4x2.
I really want to get an Access Cab 4x4 but the only ones available are TRD Off Road at $40,000+tax, the 2024 is losing the clamshell doors.
Our Hilux has always been a good solid vehicle. The older rigs were so good, the 75 series LandCruiser was awesome, and I used to have one. I honestly wish I owned one now as well. I do love these v8 70's they are a great 4x4. It's still very basic really, though the workmate version has vinyl flooring winding windows, etc...
@@OutbackOffroadNT after I watched an Andrew St Pierre’s video on his 4-cylinder order, I went and did a dream build on Toyota Australia. I did a Troopy and both single and dual cab Utes. I like the simplicity and less electronics to break with crank windows, but it was a pain to roll up/down he passenger window in the 1995, lucky it wasn’t too large. It was just not fun getting caught in a cloud burst and try to roll it up driving down the road.
It's fun to dream isn't it, but I feel bad for you not being able to have your dream rig. I've been there myself, I'm greatful for my LandCruiser. Ahh the joys of windy windows haha
It will take me a while to digest it.
Yeah fair enough mate, but seriously, in person they look good imo
My troopy arriving next month
Excellent mate congrats, did you get the 4 cyl auto? 👏
@@OutbackOffroadNTno I’m getting the v8. Booked in Sept 2021.
Awesome 👌
Wait, so is this is a manual V8? I didn't think we would see one of these for a while given the halt on production? Only way i could see one being in the wild this early is if someone opted to upgrade and then cancelled there order when it was already on the way to the dealer
Yes it's a manual v8, the v8's that are coming in are the orders people have been waiting on, I've been waiting over 18 months.
@@OutbackOffroadNT Yeah that makes sense now. Got told mine will be in town next week, so i'll give you an update on first thoughts with the Auto and couldn't agree more on your opinion around moving away from V8 after orders are fulfilled, i think the V6 will be the new top of the range.
Awesome mate congrats! Definitely let me know I'd love to hear your thoughts, yes will be Interesting to see if they do offer the 300 v6 engine.
Do you know if the new dual cab utes have child restraint anchors behind the seat?
No they still don’t have any.
Is that the 1VD engine?? That sound is unique
Sure is mate!
Im not going to lie ive giving the 70 series abit of shit over the years more so for the price and how basic they are but we all have to admit toyotas just keep on going!! Enjoy the new rig mate 💪
Fair enough mate haha, yeah they are a solid rig, thanks hey 👌
What is the deal with that front bumper? Why is it so large and sticking out like a parcel shelf? Why is the hood (bonnet) has those bumps like it has supercharged LS3? I would have to modify both if I ever found one in Europe.
Somehow I dont think you'll be modifying anything
I just heard word that the V8 won't be available in NZ? Isn't the V8 the only one with a manual box? So we can't get a manual 70 in NZ anymore? Please tell me I watched Fox by mistake?
Mate I've heard the same but not confirmed, the 4 cyl is only available in auto though 🤔
@@OutbackOffroadNT that's what I'm saying. If we only get the 4 banger we can't get a manual 70 here anymore.
Yeah that's it, that would be a shame mate for sure!
@@OutbackOffroadNT RIP used V8 manual prices here then.
🤣 farout yeah well I honestly think the v8 is on its last legs here in Australia to, if and when they stop making it the already insane prices will sky rocket 🚀
You just can't beat the sound of the V8 in my opinion.
I agree mate, no doubt 👍
How Much is the 4 cylinder auto
SC gxl 86k on road
Prices start at $75,600
makes the old model look like a Prado. 😉
Hehe!
The steering wheel looks like it came out of my 2016 Tacoma..
It's out of the current Hilux mate 👍
I think they will replace the V8 dinosaur with the new V6
Like I said in the vid, I think they might
Nah, I prefer my 20 year-old Troopy. It's nice and simple. But each to their own.
Yeah fair enough mate, nothing wrong with an old troopy!
What do they look like, “man”?
Still got the v8 you got me worried there toyota🤣
Looks like my 93 GQ Patrol, with double the new price tag… 🤦🏼♂️
Haha 🤣
@@OutbackOffroadNT yep I agree , almost looks as good as the GQ - square and tuff
Yeah I rate it, I like that look in a 4wd, all these round lookin rigs getting around. Senses and beepers from asshole to breakfast time, no thanks.
No brainer. Don't need to upgrade wheels, headlights, steering wheel, radio and wheel flares are black! hello! No window quarter panel. Breathers at 900mm. You can have auto. 4 cyl economy, catch can and no need to tune but can go 200hp 600nm like the Hiluxes. It's all much betterness. ;)
Exactly mate I agree 💯 I forgot to mention in the vid that the black grille, wheels and flares look so much better, the sandy taupe colour looked way more at home with that combo, cheers
They are a strong durable vehicle,but they are not that nice to drive,not that powerful,and very uncomfortable
Definitely a strong vehicle, I love driving them, and find them comfortable enough, they are a good rig for the bush, cheers mate
Still got the Same old shitty 1970 s mirrors you wold think they would upgrade them bu now
Something different would be nice, but I don't mind them, nothing complicated for the bush
looks crap if you ask me
Yeah not everyone's cuppa tea hey haha
How ugly do they look, the previous model looks far superior
Fair enough, not everyone can like everything, each to their own mate 👍
@@OutbackOffroadNT I have three 70’s two troopies and a dual cab 79, I just think the new front end looks very ugly, no scoop on your v8…. I heard the V* fin your video which answer my question if they would be coming with a scoop or not as my dealer didn’t even know…….
That's cool, yeah the v8 is running a similar setup to the 200 series, air tunnels up under the bonnet, getting its air from the top of the grille for the intercooler, like I said in person they look awesome in my opinion, cheers
They look modern 😂😂😅
Enjoy your kidney buster mate 👍
Easy sport, I will enjoy it very much 👍
Shakes out the kidney stones before they get too big.
I'll be honest mate, my rig rides nice on the standard suspension, small jittery stuff is rough, but it's not to bad, high speed offroad, big corrugations and dips, wash outs it's really pretty good.
Do you know if the new dual cab utes have child restraint anchors behind the seat?
From my understanding only the 76 series (wagon) has them mate
Thanks that’s what I found from my re search thus far
No worries, if I find anymore info I'll let you know, cheers
