It's official - Toyota has just axed the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series V8 engine. We've known it was at risk for a while, but Toyota announced today that it is killing the V8 LandCruiser and it's no longer available to buy. Paul Maric sits down in this special episode to explain why and what the alternative is.

I was thinking the exact same thing, however I’m guessing the reasons would be the same on that front too. If it ain’t 3.0L or less it’s gonna be over the emissions regulations and therefore fined. The only way to get around that is exactly like how the American manufacturers do it, reclass the vehicle as a light truck. But I’m sure the Australian government will close that loophole as well in a form or another.

@Swoop142 13 күн бұрын

This information came out months ago at the time the current price for the 4 cylinder was listed at $120 thou, Toyota did say that the v8 will only remain in the single cab workmate Ute, as government and mining fleets still wanted this vehicle or has this suddenly changed, also no more information on the new land cruiser mini, using the same engine as the land cruiser 4 cylinder but a listing price of around $45 thou to compete with the jimny, as this is taking a bit chunk of the market Toyota finally don’t want to miss out on.

If it was truly about emissions, why not use the F33A engine (3.3 V6 TD) and remove one turbo? We had the 2.8 (with a camper on the back) for a weekend recently, got 4.3 km/l driving conservatively 🤡. Yes, on paper it has more power but bottom line is it’s a smaller engine working so much harder to do the same job. I certainly don’t expect to see many 1m km 70 series with this engine anymore…

Well the mine I work at the v8's are speed limited to 30km/h in 5th gear which is about 1250 rpm and 2500 rpm in 3rd. Doesn't work too well when the dpf clogs up once a shift so u have to knock it back to second and fang it up the decline at 3750 rpm for 5 to 10 min lol. Honestly I was looking forward to the 4 cyl because of the auto transmission tho.

A mob in Canada has the right idea. They are going to retro fit a diesel hybrid. Super efficient diesel genny for powering an all electric drive train and traction battery. Heaps of low down torque, plenty of high end power and easily pass Aussie emissions standards. Much better suited to huge Aussie distances with our piss poor EV charging infrastructure (or even electricity infrastructure tbh). These kinds are vehicles are bought by a lot of people who traverse the outback and sparsely serviced areas of this country so a beefy hybrid set up is a way to go.

many reasons why its happened, ADR rules in 2018 by the government, homologating the manufacturing to thailand soon (i think it'll happen since thailand is such a big market for trucks/utes as well), plus the biggest buyers are fleets for mining, ag and defence/military especially in the middle east/africa, so being able to offer the trucks with engines they are continuing to develop and can streamline and boost deliveries

I also believe it will see me out if I look after it . Just like the 60 series we have . 420000 on it and still goes, and will probably see us through our car driving time . We are in our 40s , never in my life did I think I’d have a Land Cruiser ? They really do make you happy 😃
