    The G's makes sense. - The torque from the turbo diesel. - The drive-train putting that power onto all-fours. - The sheer weight of the _Pahrahdoe_ increasing traction. - The transmission is likely great for low gears, even without using the low range Canyonero™ Bush Bashing settings.

It kinda upsets me when people get talked into buying huge SUVs or pickup trucks (I will blame marketing and salesmen more on this than the actual customers) and then proceed to use it to drive to their office job and to the nearest supermarket, and nothing else. Makes the roads less safe for everyone else. So shoutout to your volunteer firefighter brother using that Landcruiser to drive across the desert and save lives with it. That's awesome.

    It's that, "arms race" bit too. Safety is a consideration many people make, and when you have rednecks rolling coal in a jacked up 5 ton behemoth, a Ford Focus is little more than a speed bump... I'm sure more people would drive small cars but there's also the mentality of, "what if I SUDDENLY need to move a fridge" so many people bring up. 99% of my vehicle usage is commuting alone. 99% of my wife's usage is groceries or driving to visit family. We don't need a diesel cathedral lol. I want Kei cars in America. I LOVE tiny efficient cars. It saddens me the US has basically abandoned that market so we get trash like the Fiesta and Mirage with aluminum foil CVTs in them... I basically want a motorcycle with air conditioning.🤣

    ​@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.

    278k miles? That’s just barely broken in for a Toyota! Here in the US, a guy had a similar vintage Tundra (full size pickup that’s bigger than a Hilux) and he put ONE MILLION miles (1.6 million Kilometers!!) on it! Toyota of North America found out about it, gave the owner a BRAND NEW Tundra, shipped his old truck back to the San Antonio, TX factory, and then proceeded to take it apart to its component parts to see how they did; they were surprised to find out that the million mile engine made MORE power than the same engine that had zero miles on it!

    EDIT: I was wrong, oops, diesels should be _more_ efficient (distance per volume) than gasoline! But yes, apples to oranges. Actually a little concerning, because it means it’s even _more_ inefficient lmao Diesel is just different from gasoline, we’re comparing apples to oranges here by putting them on the same litreboard. Love seeing these things being used properly, sadly a lot of bigger cars are bought as a status symbol and just end up going to and from work and then to a landfill. And bigger cars have changed to suit those customers better. This is more like it

    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. My diesel van will happily get 40mpg highway because it is aerodynamic and has relatively small tyres, not to mention an engine half the size of the Land Cruiser. A 6 speed manual gearbox helps too because I get to decide when to kick down

Dependable as a tank - even towed my car (1,6 tonne IS300) from the ditch no sweat. And it's surprisingly agile for a true 4x4. Thanks to two batteries on board starts up at the touch of the key, even at -25C.

    Aah yeah I used to have the exact same prado pretty similar mods/ condition too. Mine had 440K km. When the injectors were stuffed she was chewin a solid 22l/100 km on the highway I've deleted the memory of what it used in the city. The combined 180L tanks would legit last me about 850Km. Once they were replaced (and $2,500 later) it was much better like 13L/100km on the highway. I'm glad I sold it in 2021 before diesel got to $2/L. She was bullet proof and took me all over NSW and QLD. From pushing through 20cm snow drifts in the mountains to 43 degrees in the bush, she never let me down. I do miss it but my modern 4 cyl nugg just sips along at 6L/100 and is much easier on the wallet.
