I’d take the 79 because 79 is more than 76 and that’s just maths mate

76 all decked out and a top of the range camper trailer for touring you still got change deck out a 79 And van nearly twice the price

The 76 has been a dream car of mine for years, so it's gotta be my choice here! Love em both though!

76 series is the absolute dream mate! Can't wait to get my hands on one down the track. Mint as 🤙

Great comparison! Totally understand the extra $$ for the 79..... that’s why we’ve gone for the 76 personally. Think they’re also a little better suited to daily duties.

You have to be careful going through some McDonald's drive thrus when getting a coffee in the 79. Can't turn around some of those sharper ones 😂

Honest and transparent opinions, thankyou for making this video!

The 76 has been my dream truck ever since I met Matt down at the Adelaide 4wd show! Fell in love with the rig!

Two very nice examples and a very hard choice. I’d have to go the 79, can’t beat a truck and canopy combo. Keen to see the new one tear around Aus this year! Keep shredding mate, loving the content! 🤙🏼🇦🇺

Hay Matt, well after seeing you and your Rig yesterday, I would definitely go the 79, great looking truck mate, well done on the build,

Love the new 79, the way you have kitted the rig out is amazing and practical. Love the Epps mate and can’t wait for the Australia trip to begin. Just orderd some new merch and can’t wait to receive the new drink bottles. Keep doing what you are doing mate!

76 is the dream rig 👌🏽 Love ya work mate

go the 78 troopy

The 79, saw it pull into my street in Burleigh today, I was working on the dmax, looks and sounds amazing!

I've been looking at a lot of reviews lately as I'm looking for a new truck I've driven both a 79 and a 76 and I've gotta say I'd rather get a Oka at this stage solves all the gvm fuel and space issues from factory and actually works out to be the same amount of money if not cheaper depending on what you kit out

Even though I love wagons and the look of the 76, to future proof it like yourself, I’d have to go the 79. More versatile and can be kitted out to suit anyone’s needs.

Damn gonna miss this rig! So many great videos I’ve watched over the years and I’m sure unforgettable moments for yourself! 🤘🏼

Absolutely love your 76 mate and that would be the rig for me!! Short wheelbase compact rig that throws a massive punch, I’ve loved ever epp of this thing and to be fair I’m keen to see some trips in the new 79 mate, best of wishes and safe travels for 2021

Tried both ended deciding on a Suzuki Jimny so glad I did fun everytime I jump in even on a drive to the shops.

The new 79 looks unreal mate, you’ve put lots of thought into it.

Love the 76. Prefer wagon over ute so I wouldn’t have to spend the extra money covering the back up again haha but let’s be honest... wouldn’t kick either one out of the garage 👌

Don’t think you can beat the 79 set up, loved all the videos over the years with the 76 but can’t wait to see the 79 take on Australia !! Love your work legend

Just love the engine platform as well as the largest array of accessories you can have with them. Probs would go with the 79 as i like the idea of a tray.

79 for sure. Love the modular canopy. Such a versatile option for whatever you need!

your the first person to say a 76 is nimble 😂😂😂, but ill stick with my 76 👍👍

Both are epic and would love to have either! 79 probably takes the cake though. Hopefully one day when the lotto win comes in I'll grab one and kit it out with all the toys

At the end, I’ll pick the 78 Troopy... it’s long enough to carry lots of stuff and also you can use the back as a living space if you install the Alu Cab Hercules rooftop conversion.

Love both the 79 & 76 but I'd have to take the 79 it's my dream car for yrs, and I just love everything you can do to them. P.s glad there was a new vid tonight, binge watched all the episodes from start to finish over the weekend, gotta love weekends & re-watching all the eps 🤙

The 79 with all the modifications and capacities of the 12v, fuel and water, towing / touring capacity and what a great set up for the lap of the map and its got the room to carry your mates beers

I’ll take your 79 any day! Love what you have done and thanks for sharing the process with us!

Hi there - didn’t catch your name but good intro review - from several years experience of owning wagons I would suggest that the 79 is a no-brainer for the following reasons - I had several Subarus for daily driving and touring but always frustrated with lack of space and having to move several items to get setup for stops or camping - also had limited options for jerry cans and water storage - turning circle was impressive and fuel economy was good until I went for Turbo Foresters - so now after much research I’ve jumped to the 4WD world with a pre-DPF 2010 Diesel Toyota Hilux Auto and just installed an Aluminium tray/canopy - turning circle not good but for touring it will be awesome with everything out of the vehicle to the rear where it belongs and you’re the first person to ever mention the fantastic sun/rain protection for those roadside breaks - John in SA

Great video, some dollars spent wisely enables longer touring, enjoy the next lap, looking forward to the next series

76 still for me! Just something about the wagon I love!

I'd have to go with the 76 series. It has that old school type feel to it, but still keeps up with all the newer cars around. They look bloody nice as well just to top it off 👌

Cant go past the 79🤙drove past you a couple of weeks ago out near Karalee in my stock mall crawler😂 It's a nice rig👌

79 looks mint! Good point about the turning circle...

Look forward to the 12v system review 👌 gotta be one of the hardest decision iv come across

I would definitely pick the 76. Have always loved them and not every one has one. Also love them for the enclosed space like you said

79 for sure! Way nicer setup and a lot more can be done with a canopy. A lot more space to work with as well!

I would normally pick the 76 as I have always been a wagon guy, but I’m kind of enjoying the different canopy builds and I wouldn’t mind actually designing one myself, so I’m going to pick the 79!

Mate, I've been waiting for this exact video for ages of the 76 and the 79. I'm stoked for you mate I would love to do up a 79 like your one .. yeah the boys :))

Coming to you from the state WA pnw. 76 for the win! Currently building my Taco for the upcoming summer! Thanks for the awesome content!

Just not enough room in the 76.. still a mad rig but I ended up with the 79 with a slide on camper.. that way I've still got a ute when I need it

79 for sure... love the look of the MSA mirrors on it..

Both are epic rigs but, it has to be the 79 for me. Great work mate, keep it coming 🤙

76 for me at the moment, but can see myself moving on too the 79 later when I wanna do the longer and more comfortable trips

My pick would be the 79! The versatility of having a jack off canopy to use the tray if need be or leave your base station setup at camp is a winner for me

love ur work man. 79 blew my mine. well done guys.

Mate its gotta he the 79 for me! Such a weapon, great build

Not usually a fan of wagons, but the 76 is the pick here, mainly for length. having a smaller 4wd for where I live is just easier. also easier to fit it in the garage.

Can't go past the 79! more space and well thought out canopy will definitely make touring a dream!

This is the type of content I really like. My 2006 Hilux has a great turning circle but I complain bitterly about the turning circle in my two Ranger work utes so I know how you feel.

The 79 is sick its an awesome rig and ill enjoy watching the new content with the 79. But i have a soft spot for the 76 and have to say i still prefer the 76 both are awesome tho. Awesome vids makes me wanna get out so much more

Defiantly rate the 76 as a daily. Very easy to pack up and head off for a weekend but I love my single 79 and will eventually have to spend the coin to put a canopy on it.

I’ve got to say the 79, Because mine rocks up in April and I can’t bloody wait! Keep up the awesome video’s legend keen to see the big lap 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Seen you in the 79 at wacol a few weeks ago, looks great. I was passing in the Sandy 76 🤙

I'd have to go the 76 series! That look never gets old

It would have to be the 79. Being a tradie and having a small family the dual cab canopy setup is the way to go for sure.

Love the 79 it was a good choose has the canopy with all the gear in It that you need and it also tows some more weight than the 76. 76 was still a good rig but the 79 is a little better

Good video. Now its been nearly a year down the track. I'd love to know what you think of the 76 off road, compared to the 79? And would there be any comments in this video that you'd change now you have lived out of it.

Loved the 76 more it’s got a bit of charm about it - every man and his dog has a 79 these days, but I suppose they are the best touring rig after all.

79 all the way, fully decked out with the tray and canopy gives you the ability to work out if during the week and then go camping on the weekend. Work smarter not harder I say ✌🏻

Go the ‘79’ love it! can’t wait to see her in action getting around OZ

Wagons are great to get into the the 4x4 game but you gotta love having a canopy hey!

Great video! Learned heaps.

76 series for the towing ability, great rig and will be good to see put to use!

Love the 76, always wanted one with all the fruit!! What's the one space saving mod for the interior you've taken with ya to the 79?

Love the vid mate and good info still love the 79 but I do have one but I do need to get gvm upgrade on my 79

Have to be the 79 mate just look at it it’s a beast and set up to go anywhere anytime 🤙🏻🤙🏻👍

Understand money doesnt grow on trees but, would be great if you could keep the 76 and do a 2.0 build. Seeing as you have had it for years, to rebuild build a awesome 76 tourer from that experience would be awesome to see (engine upgrades, coils in the rear, updated electrical and updated rear set up). Plus would be cool to see a 70 series Explore 4x4 fleet, each build for specific style trip 👌

79 for sure! Dream dual cab and that canopy is 👌🏼👌🏼

76 - coil rear - portals - 35s ATs (BFG for life) - set up with drawers and a fridge - PVS wheel and dash - EmuWing Rear access - Li Set up - Northcoast RV Trailer - a heap more but I’ll be here all day. I haven’t thought about this at all.... I haven’t thought about it much....

Love them both mate. Always have a soft spot for a 76 however. Keep the vids coming 🤙🤙🤙🤙🚚

In the middle of my 76 build, wouldn’t change it for anything! 🤙🏼

Tray back with a lift off canopy is by far way more practical than a wagon in my opinion. Maybe a standard wheel base coil converted 79 with a smaller/lighter set up might be the go for the tougher stuff. 🤙

Yew the 79 🤙 currently about halfway through decking ours out. Still trying to convince the other half i 100% need a coffee machine 🤣👌

79 series for sure mate 👌 btw glad I found your channel. One of the best Aussie KZfaqrs going 👍👍

Love the 76, but like you said with the ease of access in the canopy of the 79 makes life easier. So would go the 79

I’d pick the 79 so that I could remove the canopy whenever I want to , that way I could load all sorts of stuff on the back for different occasions, whereas the 76 you can’t really have anything stinky or that’s gonna leave a mess because you’ll know about it in an enclosed car

The 76 for me, just love the little wagon! 🚙

79 for sure!!! All that room at the back and with the best canopy you can access everything so easily!!

79 with the van mate. Perfect match 👌🏻

We have a 76 and love it. But a 79 with a good canopy setup is hard to beat.

Hmmm tough choice, but I reckon I would go the 76. The smaller more nimble rig would come in handy

Did you consider a Troopy? I had a single cab 79 and ended up trading it for a 76. Now setting up an older troopy for long haul driving. Cant beat being able to just crawl in the back for a nap

With my baby boy due any mintue now... would love to upgrade to either to be honest. I was leaning to a 76, but now after this maybe a 79 is more suited... keep it up man hope to see you out and about... yyeeww🤙🤙🤙

Defo the 76 the videos and adventures you guys have done with it woulda been great memories

Horses for causes mate. But the horse for my cause would be the 79👌. Love the content and the enthusiasm.

i would take both for long trips with the missus

Great Vid off the cuff - nice work. Liked and subscribed.

79 hands down Looking at doing something very similar in the future

Ill take the 79. Would be my first choice specilly with the ability of the gvm upgrade and the extra fuel and also the ablitiy to tow a heavy caravan. Do u reckon u would join up with Trip In A Van next yr (this yr)?? Would be a interesting ep. 200 vs the 79 whilst towing a caravan

Hey Matt, I know it's been a while since you've had the 76 but hoping you can shed some light. How did the car feel with the bush co RTT & Awning? Planning a similar setup and wanted to know how much of an impact the weight had on the handling characteristics of the vehicle, both on and off road. Cheers mate

79 is my pick. Proper set up vehicle to do everything, plus it can tow the big toys 😎

Love both but haft to go the 79

Both absolute weapons How would you choose 😅 If anything i guess the 79...purely for how its kitted out. But wowee they are both great rigs Another great vid guys well done

Gotta be the 79 it looks sick! It's going to be a mad ride around aus 🤙

I have a 76 as it is within my budget, i would have a 79, but need double what i could afford and then some

Excellent video finally a no bullshit review can’t wait for the off road review. Fast becoming my favorite channel can’t wait to see your adventures around Australia 🇦🇺 good luck.

79 series, waiting to pick mine up
