Toyota LandCruiser 79 Double Cab | 2017 4x4 of the Year Contender | 4X4 Australia

[@realaussiemale567]

Who cares if its 'Agricultural' it was designed & manufactured for commercial use initially, then Toyota saw the opportunity to expand its usability to suit serious off-road use. Good on them I say.

[@JT-fn4eu]

Best vehicle in the world .

[@bosse641]

So cool. ...back to basics. ...as all trucks should be. ..simple no nonsense. I sure want one. ...a single cab, thank you very much ;-)

[@adelarsen9776]

You can buy them in Norway and Australia. Take your pick which country you want to move to. :-)

[@22aj55]

Can we have this in the U.K. please. Expensive ? Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.

[@thisararanjith7696]

22aj55 yes you can import it Price 60000£

It’s a shame we don’t get the 79 series land cruiser in the UK as the land Rover defender is not available anymore

[@simon8089]

And the new one doesn’t seem to be cutting the mustard 😞

[@1thehandyvan]

Can someone please tell Toyota We are waiting for the 79 cruiser to be launched in the UK

[@realaussiemale567]

Great truck. Only 2 issues are, it needs a 6spd tranny with auto or manual choice. Secondly, the rear wheel track MUST match front track, it's VERY pricey to have that 1 issue fixed, around $8000.

[@BENGELBECKUM]

Toyota (AISIN) makes great automatic boxes, so why not put one into these vehicles - 5-speed manual is really outdated, customers should be given the choice between six-speed manual or automatic!

[@toyotanerd2269]

Then buy the soccer mom version. From the us all we get are pussy native here. Manuals are more durable

[@livenloud6697]

And know one mention the wheel track issue with diff narrow by 110 mil at the rear

[@toyotanerd2269]

The more gear's you add the more that can go wrong. Also more gear's mean long ER input and output shafts. The longer the shafts are the less strain they can handle

[@harveysmith100]

No reason they can't, I drive a 30 year old 70 Prado which has an Auto. Great vehicle. So all the bits are on the Toyota parts shelf.

[@deadeyenic6833]

This, hilux or ranger? Which is your pick (will use it for daily drive aswell)

[@GarminPro]

Any review on this vehicle that doesn’t mention the rear wheel base that is shorter than the front isn’t being honest. Period.

[@dikeledimogobe5849]

I need your advice I want to buy this vehicle but not sure which version Whether V8 or V6 or 4.2 I don’t know much about them please help me decide

[@amcf2000c]

Why is this not in the UK?

[@gs9194]

انشهد انه عز

[@lilrussianese]

Toyota needs to make it in a auto and have one model with all the flash and gizmo’s the Sahara has to offer but in this body shape . I would buy it straight away with no questions

[@franklowe3798]

I totally agree champion

[@79series]

The dual cab never had the 180l of fuel. The dual cab has a flat floor no room for a front tank like the troopy and pre dpf 79 single cab

[@harleyvisser]

Rugged and tough just what a not only a toyota should be but what a 4x4 should be

[@coopcooper3194]

So how is it worth so much ?

[@JakemanSnakeman302]

Because despite having no leather, an optional air con, no sat nav, etc. It has everything you need to have fun it has a tough engine, tough gearbox, amazing off-road ability and in some ways even good comfort.

[@TehTrixxable]

It is but just so fucking expensive.

[@FairladyS130]

Toyota failed to provide buyers with the safety rating of that vehicle by avoiding getting it tested at all, let's be honest here and not talk around the issue. By modern standards it's a death trap.

[@RCoon72]

As much as I love this vehicle it’s about time they made it automatic

[@toyotanerd2269]

Bring it to the U.S. without the diesel and it will outsell the current Land Cruiser 20 to 1.

Is there an automatic in these vehicles in South Africa?

In Australia, we’ll call them Duel Cab Ute’s.... It’s NOT a truck.

i thought diesels only go to 6k rpm not 8k rpm

Question , the 2017 model 79 cruiser at 100 klm what's the rpm thanks in advance

[@ianparsons849]

Around 2000

2200

[@jasonswift7098]

yeah nah sorry its not up to the standard of the others 2 airbags only abs only (dual cab spec) its only only there because its popular. extremely agricultural driving and very uncomfortable.

[@JakemanSnakeman302]

Mate you can get them converted to auto. If your worried about price well you have enough for one so it wont take long till you can get enough for a conversion

[@alexfrankl7861]

4x4 of the year !? you are taking the piss surely . Why dont you test the Iveco Daily 4x4 ? the cruiser is an 80k ute you still have to get out and adjust your mirrors , my 9 year old D Max has a button for that and they fold in too ! didnt mention anything about those useless clutches they use , 40k and finished .

[@toyotanerd2269]

Yeah and those electronics break. What do those gadget's have to do with 4 * 4 capabilities ?

[@hartzland7658]

The first branch that smacks your Dud max electronic mirror will have it hanging by the wires. All you pussy city boys don't get it do you!! Us country farmers don't want electric this & that!! We want to be able to stick our arm out & push our mirror back in place after that branch just wacked it!! We just want it as basic & strong as we can get & thats what we got in the 70 series. I certainly don't see any Dud maxs pulling out Landcruisers in the bush but i see plenty of Crusiers helping out all sorts of flash city utes!!

[@hartzland7658]

By the way on the clutch bullshit!! I have done 150,000 klm on the original clutch after pulling massive farm trailers loaded with bales through mud & its still going. It comes down to who's using the clutch for how long it lasts.

[@SteveBurns80]

OMG! Another useless uninformative video on this overrated vehicle. sigh. No mention of the rear wheel track or the lack of stability and articulation. 4x4 Australia is a joke and is far too bias towards companies giving out the most $$ to be of any note worthy information... Same can be said for all the other main stream media publications. But 4x4 of the year? Yeah I'd supposed I'd have to agree, sadly there's no other "new" 4wd currently on the market that is better than the 79. Maybe Iveco Daily but that isn't classed as a passenger 4wd, so no point comparing. If you're all satisfied with this new 79 series then it must be very bad times for modern 4wds in general, there's just nothing else out there in the same category as the 79 anymore. 😔 Reality is that the 79 provides a good platform for aftermarket companies to improve/ fix some of its shortcomings, but you need serious dollars just to fix what Toyota should've done in the first place. Because of this, the vehicle can be called overrated! No argument people! Most just accept the brain washing marketing campaigns that Toyota dish up... Unbreakable, tough, ect ect.. Don't be fooled people! I'm not anti Toyota, I do know Toyota vehicles are one of the most reliable out there, heck I've owned 3 different Toyotas over many years and can honestly say that they were all very reliable. However I can say the same for other vehicles that I've owned too. It's just a shame that there's no other competition for the 79.. Which is really weird when you think about how popular 4wding, touring/overlanding has recently become.

[@livenloud6697]

Sadly i fully agree with you. 4grand to fix the tracking. Sux to be sitting in the back. Nothing like a 200. No auto... 200 has and its a great box . No tray standard. Only ac from the dash only. No 2nd fuel tank any more . After burner. Cant wait for that. Ill be 10min kids. Its burning off again.. Should i stop there....? But ..... Its a 70.. 76_78_79.. Know one dose them better... 😀 If you want it all. Well there is the 200..💪

[@rayfadhilbassamfaisal3662]

I hate Toyota in my country, they make absolutely rubbish cars with no purpose, with a very little safety equipment, and really boring design... I really dont know what does Toyota offer back here in my country...
