[@jamesmcgrath1669]

If you have ever seen one of these toyota V8 diesels out of the ute for such a small displacement a baby V8 really they are externally bigger than they need to be and quite heavy. I feel if the hp & torque are the same for both engines just losing that overweight underperforming slug of a V8 would see the 4cyl turbo diesel at a significant advantage in the power to weight ratio. The V8 lovers should call for another test with the trays loaded equally and tow weights equal then throw that boat anchor of a V8 on top of the 4cyl diesel as well, should make for a more interesting test but even then the 4cyl diesel would still win.

In the United States 35 inch tires are considered small and everyone changes the gears in the axles. No one goes on a two week expedition like the way it is considered normal in Australia. It’s just so interesting to see how different it can be in another country.

[@Arda86ca]

Because in the US the trucks are the size of a small city so anything would look really small. I own a 76 they are like the size of a JK Wrangler

[@HDvids101]

The US can do anything and still be legal it seems. In Au the tyres have to be within the fenders.

In WA 35 inch tyres and a 2” lift is illegal on most 4WD Max is 2” total Not sure how warranties and insurance deal with this

[@pepifrog1969]

The majority of USA people wold not know how to drive/or need to drive in 35 inch tyres - seems to be more penis than driving skill as required. Yes - I said it - most people in USA do not tackle the terrain they build their trucks up for. Penis.

[@jdexplores01]

Thats true. But how many of these huge trucks with 37s+ are going places where you need them? I guess a lot of them got big tires to compensate for something not so big and it's not their ego

It's one of your best videos, mate. The editing was excellent. Love the ghosting effect, and it was clever marketing using your new patches as a marker and Trav using your armrest. Great results, too, for the 76. I will never sell my V8 Troopy mate, nor should you. Say bye to your 79 though. Cheers, John from Darwin

What was the fuel usage comparison? Compared with v8 and also with the standard tyres?

He's done this elsewhere I think, the fuel use with 35's is much worse. But it's irrelevant, most guys with 35:s have social media show vehicles they make money from.

Did you compare the fuel economy? Apart from that, I think the conclusion is clear, sell the V8 whilst value is still there! There's going to be a crazy waitlist on the auto 76! The remaining test is of course, longevity/duration and on that point only time will tell! Thanks, Ronny, another very informative video.

Upgrade to dba disc rotors and extreme pads, no fade and braking is super smooth on steep downhills. Then add 165kw Toyota tune from Rogue/South African models and it’s a weapon. Don’t forget aftermarket transmission cooler.

Certainly interesting. That said I want to see how the towing does with the 35's. One thing I still want to note(even though I was a little surprised) is a Automatic will always do better at transferring Torque allowing for a smoother operation. That doesn't necessarily mean that it will do the best job overall as that will depends on the vehicle with engine. Some will do better than others

[@Wilbargosh]

Its interesting. As we get older we like comfort and convenience ie auto over manual. As an employer, I would have a duty of care to provide a rock to staff driving the manual to mitigate handbrake failure. Boys old school needs aside, the auto will be a better choice for modern comfort work in a 79.

[@curtisjones1904]

Me, I'm still running around in my LN106 and I can't see that changing any time soon. I'll probably be buried with that thing. But the advances in auto transmission over the decades have well and truly caught up and anyone looking at a new 4WD would be nuts to go for a manual. Auto now makes far more sense and gives far greater capability. If I were looking for a new machine it'd be an auto, hands down.

Hi guys, just want to share my stats regarding LC76 plus 19.6 Jayco over 12 months . SETUP = ,2008 LC76 (315.75.16 tyres) towing 19.6 Off road Jayco. Stock motor ,no tune ,airbags in rear for leveling when fully loaded. Consumption over 12 months = May 23 to Feb 24 Towing speed highway = 90 km perhour is my cruizing speed Distance driven = 16494 km Fuel economy (avg) 17.9 l/ km this is for total km driven Fuel economy (min) 13.29 l/ km this is town driving or slow , easy pace Fuel economy (max) 23.57 l/km this is wind / mountain and heavy sand Total fuel used 2982.1 lt Ave price from Perth to Melbourne , then up to Brisbane ,longreach ,mt Isa , Townsville Frazer Island to Brisbane. So a mixed terrain. Cost 35.9 cent per km. So my experience with an old LC 76 v8, 439,000km on the clock, is the deeper you push the peddle (i.e. increase the wind pressure on the front of the vehicle , the consumption goes up exponetially.) At 85 to 90 km , the old girl and caravan does 18 to 19 lt/km, push it any harder and it cost you a box of beers :)

[@Yog3r]

Really nice comparison. Those steep long descents may be a bit tricky. Any chance you could test how well toyota breaks coolong works? One more thing I was wondering about are the dunes. I usually had the biggest power issues when climbing sandy hills. This could really manifest after upgrading to 35" MT.

Ya'll harp on downhill rolling speed like proper application of the brakes isn't the same thing. It's just resistance to rolling it, all equals the same thing at the contact patch of the tire. A good driver might have one foot on each pedal and even use both simultaneously.

[@HartyBiker]

This guy loves brake fade

[@rikialwaysright]

Great video, thanks

[@gullf1sk]

We run 37s and even 40s with hiluxes and prados in norway and iceland no problem

[@HartyBiker]

I don't think anyone is doubting that the engine can handle it, the difference in my opinion will be long term reliability. Norway and Iceland are both tiny compared to Australia, and the conditions are completely different. It's very common to have a car on 35s that will also do a 5000km camping trip, or even longer. I'm really curious to see what the long term reliability is with these 2.8s, because in my experience, getting more hp out of a smaller engine usually just means that it doesn't last as long. I'd be very impressed to see a 2.8 with a million kms on it.

[@fantasticfox411]

I'm not buying a land cruiser for performance as much as I'm buying it for reliability and build quality. What will the higher psi in the 2.8L do to longevity?

[@liaminrio5463]

It will reduce it.

[@ALEXANDERGILMOUR-xt3in]

I would love to see the auto 76 series vs a 76 or 79 series with the automatic conversion done on the V8 and see what they are both like. I know the automatic conversion is a $30k extra but does it make the v8 worth it to do or should you just buy the 2.8L

[@Rexy888]

Another game changing 76 build😂😂

[@Tacoexplorer]

Don't you need to regear the front and rear axle to keep the downhill speed in check in 4lo?? That's pretty critical to regear for crawl speed.

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

Its great you can run 35s but for remote travel I will stay with stock sized tyres and steel rims that are available in the remote parts of Australia, it would be a interesting comparison to see if the wheel bearings are effected by the larger and heavier wheels.

[@alexk.8715]

A comparison of the fuel consumption and the effect of the 35's would have been interesting.

Nice review you did a could job 👍but personally I’d rather have a manual any day of the week coupled to a 1Hd

[@English_Speaking_Fox]

I find all this angst and agony over the introduction of the 2.8 pretty hilarious. But also the never-ending need to modify these vehicles as if the factory spec is critically insufficient! If you’ve used these vehicles for heavy duty work application in the very remote outback (in my case 20+ yrs geological exploration drilling) then you will know that in stock form they are totally capable of dealing with very heavy loads in incredibly rough Outback conditions day in day out, without the need to resort to much in the way of modification. As long as the vehicle is being properly serviced (i.e. not by a Toyota dealership) then the incidence of breakdown will be very low. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how many kilometres our Land Cruisers (and KUN & GUN Hilux) did in the Outback over the years. I suppose I could work it out (its a few million). We bought the vehicles new and traded at 3 years, typical mileage around 200,000km, all outback from the depot to wherever. Delivered in cab chassis format they got a very staunch steel tray, additional fuel filtering (with water trap), auxiliary battery, inverter, UHF & VHF, cellphone antenna, toolkit, medkits. Some got long range tanks and the tool / rod carriers got a pre-registration GVM upgrade. Later all vehicles were fitted with GPS tracking and an EPIRB. But engines, drivetrain, rims, untouched. Same tyre size, just upgraded to 10 ply rated LT / AT. The 1GD-FTV is a very capable motor and proven now in multiple applications across the Toyota world from lighter duty & heavy utes to SUVS, vans, passenger buses / small coaches and Hino trucks. No need to worry!
