That color my boy is called camouflage in US, genius.

Вещь!!!

Keep these vids coming. That was a classic. And lot's more gear to fit on the rig still.

V8's are awesome, but Toyota? Seriously? They are the shittest most ugly rubbish available, and the Toyota V8 was just a copy and a gutless one at that.

Toyota motor corporation should release its Manual Version for lovers of manual transmission with the 2.8 4-cylinder engine with 6-speed manual transmission like the Hilux and also improve a new engine like 6 cylinders in line like the 1HZ 4.2, do it with the same technology of the 2.8 1GD in 6 Cylinders in line Turbo Diesel with more horses and Torque🛻🦾🇯🇵 Greetings from Venezuela 🇻🇪🇦🇺

no feature inside???

So true

It wasn't Toyota that killed it it was the dumb ass Australian government that forced it out. Zero emissions by 2040 and all of that shit

toyota could put a whipper snipper motor in em and charge $200k and fanboy idiots would still buy em, the new 2.8 is worth at best 45 to 50k

😂😂😂 they are unbreakable

TOYOTA Going soon and that new Arabia (2024)year

looks great!

If I wanted a hi lux I would buy one

Thank god I got mine before Christmas 👌v8 rules 💯

Never selling mine.

Torquit will get some really nice exhaust speakers to make the 79 4 banger sound good.. I have a 79 if I was buying a new car it would be a 300 series don’t want an over priced Hilux

What is the option of converting a 4 cylinder into a V8 ? Is it possible as per regulations ?

Here in europe ,the landcruiser 70 has not been available since 2001. But thanks to grey imports you can spot a brandnew 4L PETROL , 4.2 OR 4.5 DIESEL and the new 2.8auto here on europian roads . But is a very rare occurrence here.

Looks like 1HZ reigns supreme in every slow lane around the world ❤

The Labor government has worked hard on this new law😉

Come on Toyota, why not V8 hybrid 😂

I had 8 years in a HJ61 (12H-T) followed later by 7 years in a HDJ79 (1HD-FTE) followed by 6 years in a VDJ200 and now 5 years to date in a VDJ78. All great iconic motors, but if I when it comes to getting a new replacement again, I'd go the 4 cyl Troopy - bit more room in the engine bay, easier to work on, same power as the V8 and parts will be plentiful. I'd probably take it with a manual which sounds like it will be the strong 5 speed H series box, and I prefer the manual and the better offroad fuel consumption that comes with it. And I prefer a Troopy to a Hilux or Prado because I like the Troopy lifestyle and it is a great remote travel vehicle with stronger rigid axles and 180L of fuel.

They’re running out of oil as predicted by hubbert. About 25 years of cheap oil left.

Its the new emissions tax the current government has brought in thats done it. No different to other trends around the world. Sad tho, let em know that the rest of the world can deep throat global trends and standards, we dont have to follow

Goodbye toyota V8s hellooooooo yank tanks

i had a PZJ75 troopy, HZJ78, GRJ76 and a VDJ76 now, the V8 is definitely not the best engine. Best sound, yes but thats all. The engine doesn't make the Landcruiser, its the whole thing. The 2.8 is great

The 2.8 is great! Have the 79 in it… rip v8

I just can't see people modifying the 2.8 to the same levels as the v8. I wouldn't think many guys would be doing a full jmax conversion or putting the huge money into them, might be wrong but you would be better off in a hilux or similar. We'll be keeping ours i know that

They want to compete with the Chinese, I bet they will go 4 cyl hybrid, the Rav 4 only comes in this configuration

It is so obvious that Toyota is trying to kill it all together in Australia.

I hear ya’s ruined my plans I’m still catching up in my 1 hz 😊

Hahaha yes, how good is the young bloke telling it like it is. Bring back the FTE!

Landcruisers have aways been big motors! Just saying. My fuel economy in my 2020 seems to be no worse than the 2.8 auto. So I don’t get it. Its a euro 5? Or 4. Not sure with a dpf. Dpf works perfectly. I think we are playing a silly game of bs. Yes its not fast but it feels solid as.

Now they are an appreciating collectors item..

I know one thing for sure, I WONT BE SELLING MINE ANYTIME SOON!!!!!!

V8❤

Pick up the V8 Troopy on Saturday , ordered it 2 years ago and Toyota rang me on on the weekend to tell me the bad news that we won't be getting the V8 we ordered , we got lucky as the second dealership that I looked at on-line had a Sandy Taupe just listed brand new for sale , deposit went down and paid the rest yesterday. Talk about fortunate. 😊 Happy travels see you on the dirt.

Had a v8 in my 2019 troopy. Wasn't impressed. Just ordered a new 79 and that little 2.8 is brilliant. Actually, it is probably the auto that makes it such a good combination. But it's damn good.

My Grenadier has a straight 6 turbo petrol (can get a diesel for the beard strokers, but DPF!), oh yeah what a motor. Toyo is in struggle territory.

It’s due to Toyota Japan ceasing the manufacturing of the VD engine in October 2021!

I ordered my one in Janunary, still haven't got the confirmation email from Toyota. Probably I won't be able to get it.

Pleased I got my V8 back in March, the 4cyl would not cut it for me

I still think that Toyota should work on the old 6-cylinder 1HZ engine, make some changes to have more horsepower, torque and economy, because to this day it is one of the best engines that this version has ever had or use the engine from the LC 300 wouldn't be bad at all but only time will tell what will happen from now on.

If everyone stops buying 4cyl, they will rethink and give us 6cyl at least) meet half way.

They could have at least put the 300 series motor in there.

Cheap kits now

Waaaaaaaa.....Buckets of SHt.

Ordered the 2.8 troopy last month. Will use it for weekenders and daily runner. Wanted the 4 cyl for better fuel efficiency, and all the reviews said it was a better engine anyway (not that I had a choice). The only thing missing was the manual option. Which is now a thing! so might change my order to get the manual instead. Sweet!

Ran out of time, change of plans then… I’ll keep my LC200 a virgin and garage it.. sell it in 10 years 😂. The 2.8 70s can still work with 35s and portals and some fine tuning… it will work 😊 Here’s the formula… Marks + JMACX + JA + BA = BAW You guys like that 😉

I ordered mine in January this year and was told there’s a 18 month wait and I might not get one. Well lucky for me I only had to wait a couple of months as someone cancelled their order 😊 it’s now in my garage and I couldn’t be happier with it
