Boa noite, o que seria orc ?

I’m 20k and 7 months into a 2023 v8 76. You have captured the essence of the 76 perfectly. It’s the most overpriced, rudimentary, poorly specced vehicle I have ever owned. It’s also the most endearing, fun and engaging car I’ve ever owned. It’s never leaving me…..

It's not overpriced if you'll keep it forever, a 30000 Korean shitbox that's junk in 5 years is overpriced

This kind of car, you hold on to it like an old watch. Then in 30 years sell it for $15k.😂

Fantastic review Sam. I’ve always liked these lifestyle/camping videos, please keep them coming. As for the 76, as you’ve said the very thing that makes it average is also what makes it so special. If this is the most fun vehicle to go camping with, it’s got my vote. I’d still go for the V8!

I’ve got a 2021 Sandy Taupe 76. Medium mods. Just the vehicle for some outback ventures.

Great review Sam, very informative and well presented.

Thank you!

Personally I don't think Toyota made these for extreme 4 wheel driving like that. But as you say for towabillity it can't be beaten. That's why I've just order one. To tow our 3.5t van in out back tracks, without having to do all that gvm upgrade. I was looking very hard at the patrol, but decided weight and diesel is better. Great review...thanks.

I gather that the V6 3.3 unit from the LC 300 isn't far off being whacked into this ??. It'll be A single turbo variant . Sold alongside the 2.8. We have 5 current model LC 70's with the 2.8 donk . Had them about 6 months or so , no problems towing etc . Yep they are rudimentary, but they are tough. Ours constantly cope with 45c + days in summer, dust, mud, , sandy or rocky terrain . No problems at all. All are fully kitted out with suspension mods, Sat Communications gear UHF's full Bull bars , steps, under side protective gear, LR tanks etc that adds another $12k or so to the purchase price . Not cheap, but they are pretty dependable & totally reliable

One of the reasons this new model is arriving in Australia with the 2.8Lt Four cylinder was that Toyota was approached by the Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings Ltd (TGS) to provide a simpler Landcruiser 4x4 with an Automatic transmission as they are the Official distributer and supplier to the United Nations, and Non-Government Organisations around the World that have Female Drivers who had requested the Automatic Transmissions as well for ease of maintenance for their staff and as these new Toyota Landcruiser's have a large existing market for Toyota 4x4 Enthusiasts in Australia and Southern Africa and the Middle East

If you want 5 seats, longer wheelbase, huge storage, longer leaf springs, 180L fuel, and more headroom than any other vehicle, then buy the Troopcarrier. And all Troopys come with the tall 33" skinny tyres which I find better than the fat 33".

Where abouts is that hill located where you did the 4x4 climb and decent ?

There are top tether anchor point for kids seats - they are above the barn doors. Just no isofix points.

great in depth video, joke about tech in the back seat lmao

That looks at lot like the entry to pinnacle trail from Turon river. It’s a good test for a stock vehicle.👌

Im buying one in a week cant wait, the only car worth buying on the market. ( I know a few builders who can make better but noone can afford em)

Eu diria ao meu ver , um dos melhores veículos ja construídos, do século 21 resistência, força e muita durabilidade , feito sem muito luxo mas que duram longos anos!! Marcelino Baumgartner brasil 16/06/2024

Wish it had the honeycomb grill like the XB Falcon😅.

To make it steer better on the street, use a heaver swaybar. TRD? Yes it will suck more rock crawling. Use quick disconnect swaybar links. I would suggest these rock crawling even with the stock swaybar. Drop some tire air pressure. Can't believe the snorkel doesn't seal. It's a bit girly if the interior can't be hosed out.

Glad I saw this vid. Its a no for the LC for me...just from seeing the body roll and narrow rear track compared to the front. Yes, it looks fun though.

Still i will choose the 76series without a second thought, i know it will last and get me anywhere and resell value it will be Great

I wanted a future proof vehicle but as a new father the fact that it doesn't even have cup holders in the back is a deal breaker.

Great review. However, it's the v8 that is wanted. So many better options if you want 4 cylinder .

Yeah, we stuffed that one up sorry. Price is $79,800 +ORCs.

Well done for including the Tank 300 'comparison'. Imagine if you could remove the badges and ask non car people which one they thought was made in China. They would fall about laughing and point out that it is obviously the old tech agricultural dinosaur that was awful on-road and just okay off-road but not a match for modern Japanese engineering of the Toyota Tank. 😉

First comment, go me. I am seriously thinking of getting one. I am solo so thinking of removing back seats, just need enough room for dog. Can you tell me if it would be possible to sleep in back 185cm person if needed with rear seats removed. I also have a small flat bottom aluminum boat I would like to carry on top, do you think it's possible. I don't do any crazy technical 4wd work.

you probably will find it too small. If you move the front seats forward and get an extension you just might. i'm 181 cm and i've decided to sleep on the roof. in the back only in case of really bad weather.

Gees, the Pinnacle Fire Trail is a bit erroded since I was there last, need to go take a first hand look at it now. Funny how Tank 300 shows Toyota 76 up immediately. I'm very familiar with the hideous squirmy stomach you were suffering with the 76's instability, they are appalling on off chamber sections. Owed one, glad we opted out of it. Got into one of the very last series of GU Patrol it's far far better, on & off road, superior in fact. Sam, regarding the Tank, you forgot to mention or try pothole mode, (poor translation), it's meant to have an impressive affect on off road traction control apparently, superior to rock mode from what I've heard. Please try it when out again.

If your going to review a car mate make sure you actually check your facts, the 76 Series is the only vehicle in the LC70 line up that has tether points for car seats, they are above the rear barn doors.

I think the price is wrong. It's 84,978 online

The 70’s are great cars, but they are just the biggest rip off they’re $30k+ over priced, paying the new car with all the latest tech for a 30 year old car with a hilux engine in it, not putting shit on the car, just the price tag.

The 70's series and the new LC250 Prado needs the LC300 enjin and 48V, they allready save costs on the old interior in the 70 series with old tech, this is just a Hilux and Toyota is milking you.

Why did the Card show Drive Away $50990 when you said it was $79k?? The LC 70 series is just a total Sh!tbix and nobody would buy it - and yet they do. Can’t understand why as it’s pure rubbish. The V8 sounded nasty anyway.
