We don't need a diesel cathedral lol. I want Kei cars in America. I LOVE tiny efficient cars.

@SissypheanCatboy There's definitely a segment of the population that doesn't want to feel like their car is a compromise between regulators and auto manufacturers. And the way CAFE standards are set up those people are given an out, which is to simply buy a larger vehicle. It's poorly designed legislation. But how much responsibility it has in shifting the tastes of American consumers towards larger vehicles is impossible to tell, but it certainly helped cement the paradigm that bigger = better, and made the upsale job of the salesman a whole lot easier. Hopefully as EVs grow market share in the coming decades there will be a wide range of mid sized trucks and crossovers that can compete, match and even outperform the full size trucks on power.

Diesel has more energy per liter, runs a leaner air fuel mixture and diesel engines generally have a higher volumetric and thermal efficiency. There appears to be a lot of fuel going into that engine that isn't being turned into power. Maybe the auto trans isn't locking up or the bands are starting to slip. All things being equal, that should get much better fuel economy than the donkey van.

diesels should get more miles per gallon than an equivalent petrol but the massive drag factor of 4WD, off road tyres and the aerodynamics of a small office building offset that.

@@AlexLR Nah, a weight-based sliding scale tax with offsets would do. Live in the country? You get a tax offset! Rural fire-fighter? You get a tax offset! Own a business that requires you to travel out to whoop-whoop? Tax offset! This way, people who still need these vehicles aren't penalised, but those who just want them for clout have to pay up.

It's still extremely satisfying to see you use "POV" correctly, especially the fact that you cut the music and everything else out so it's legit POV

I have an '04 Chevy Suburban in the family that we use as our heavy duty vehicle. Big ol' V8 and the hugest cabin; I've pulled off several college dorm moves with it. And it gets about the same combined MPG as that Prado (it was sitting at 13.5 US MPG for as long as we've had it) Great vid as always, we love the big vehicles being used for big vehicle things

Ngl at first I was thinking what Dankman was thinking. "naw mate this suv is just big wide for the sake of big wide" especially with how in my neck of the woods Prados are for the Executive types, but then yeah he told the story of his bro taking this EVERYWHERE. What an actually badass SUV, for a badass dude!

I love that you called it a troop carrier since I just to drive an up armored variant of a newer model year Prado and we used those big back doors to create a hallway between two of them in case of emergency evacuations.

One of my favorite GT videos to date. I drive an '07 4Runner with the 4.7L V8 that absolutely is the same kind of vibe. Lifted, chunky tires, 100% made to go up, over, and through whatever you come across. Incidentally pretty close to the 500K as well, just about to tick over 260,000 miles.

Having ridden many hours in a lower-end model of the same vehicle; I can confirm that diesel low end torque is BRUTAL. You dump the clutch on this thing and you stand a good chance of hurling a bit of road behind you.

This channel never fails to make me smile. Thank you good sir, smiling is a luxury I rarely get to indulge in. I Doubt you'll see this though. Also can I have some UTE's? I used to have an El-Camino and I really loved that thing. Bruce, IMO is a drop dead gorgeous UTE I would gladly pay a dealer mark-up on for him! Also I'm am sorry for the loss of Holden Motors, they made some really cool stuff.
