Well I am very happy with my LC 150 2.8 diesel. Plenty of pulling power, very comfortable and will go anywhere. On the motorway at 120kph its ticking over at a leisurely 1700rpm in 6th gear, which it will stay in even going up hill. You hear people complaining that the 2.8 isnt powerful enough.

Bring back an upgraded 7 bearing inline 6 cylinder 1HDFTE 24 valve turbo diesel modified to meet Euro 5 spec I say, most reliable diesel Toyota ever produced, stump pulling torque from 1400 rpm to 3200 rpm, easy to work on and easily capable of 700,000 klm, some have achieved a 1,000.000klm if well serviced. Even though this engine originally only had 1kw more power than the 2.8 litr (150kw)and 70nm less torque, at 430 nm, vs 500nm the spread of torque is spectacular. And a lot easier to service and replace a starter motor! Jus sayin'

Love your work Matt. Your reviews are going from strength to strength: informative, engaging and huge fun. My V8 Troopy with the stock 225 95 R16 tyres (33") keeps the revs down at highway speed where I average c. 11.5 l/100km and under 2000 rpm cruising at 100km/h. On the Canning Stock Route I averaged 12.3 l/100km. This said, I don't tow and no roofrack. From a longevity and purist point of view, V8 hands down as there's no replacement for cubic centimetres.

It needs a Straight Six engine, not a 4 cylinder.

Nice video! I have a 2021 Hilux 2.8. Bought it brand new and strangely enough, the oil consumption was not a issue at all, no need to top up the oil, just followed the service intervals. I have driven it just over 40000km. But the DPF-regen happens often, every 200-250km. All in all, no issues with the engine. And yes, the towing capacity is great too! 3500kg heavy trailer is no problem for the engine and driveline to pull. Such a shame that we cant buy this Land Cruiser new here in Norway though :(

Very well done comparison with great research!

Thanks for the video. After all the hustle and bustle, the V8 is the clear winner. It's nonsensical to prioritize getting from 0 to 100 km/h in an off-road truck. Why would I need an automatic gearbox in mud or sand? And how can I push start my car with an automatic gearbox? Bigger tires compensate for the lack of a 6th gear; you can legally fit 33-34" tires on this vehicle. Also, if I were looking for the luxury or comfortable style of driving, it's completely far from what the 70 series offers. But, if you're looking to build a true off-road and expedition truck for enjoying off-road and long-distance trips, a V8 is the only option for me.

Sort of unrelated question: Do you have any inside info on the new 2025 Hilux? Still with the 2.8L engine? Any chance of a V6? Thanks - David

How about a head to head with the 79 4 banger and a Hilux 4 banger? Is a 79 worth the extra? Can the Hilux do everything the 79 can?

Nice video.. although one thing that’s often missing from comparison videos is what it feels like to own and drive these vehicles. I’ve driven both and it’s true the 2.8 has great road performance in comparison to the V8 and works well off road too. BUT, the 2.8 lacks the character and feel of the VDJ, it feels like Toyota’s answer to a mass of employees with auto only licences, and if you want to drive a 4 cylinder auto Toyota buy a Prado or a Hilux.

Hi thx for the video but my question is as the new 2.8 basically has the Hilux engine how does or would the 2.8 Cruiser actually compare the the Hilux... and more to the point on fuel consumption can one put aHilux 2.4 TDi DC 4×4 2019 or 2.8 into say a 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser 76 Troopy. Why? Because I love the Troopy body but would prefer the fuel consumption of the 2.8 $$$ thx

I've got the new V8 troopy, only done 500ks and my fuel economy is at 10.4 per 100 and that's half highway and the rest short runs down the beach or onto the salt flats and around town. I'd like to see a side by side fuel consumption between the 4 and V8, according to my result the V8 is better on fuel?

I did 800,000 kms on my old hiace 2.4lt on LPG and that's carrying half to 1 ton loads 6 days a week for 11 years. Now I have a 2.7lt LPG hiace and is 14 years old with 320,000kms, still runs like new. I am proof that Toyota makes reliable engines. If I get those kms out of a petrol/lpg engine, diesel should be even better.

Have they up graded the hand brake or is that still a future thing 🤔

I still love the sound of straight 6 😍🥰

I wish these were available in the U.S., thanks for the info.

On the V8 you need to upgrade the clutch even on Stage-1 tune. That is more money down drain.

Hello, this is a strange question, but I'm trying to find the headlights for this car. I tried contacting Toyota, but they require the model's vin number in order to provide new headlights.

It would have been nice if you were able to compare two vehicles with the same body style for the purpose of aerodynamics and how they would affect the fuel economy. Also the truck will be lighter than the wagon.

The 4.5L V8 actually made about 286HP and 650Nm in the Land Cruiser 200. I'm guessing Toyota toned it down because of the lower quality fuel in AUS, or, the manual transmission which surelly can't take the 650Nm of torque...

I'm surprised they didn't put the 3litre D4d engine rather than the 2.8

The turbo device is not suitable for hot countries. People love simple, uncomplicated engines. Whenever the engine becomes more complicated, it becomes a prisoner of the workshops.

I am having sr5 hilux 2023, everybit is satisfying, though i made mistake of upgrading tyre to 265 65 r18 bfg (31.6) from stock 265 60 r 18 (30.5), though their is almost no power loss i observed, but on stock tyre i am easily getting b 7l/100km not its taking aroun 8.5l/100km. (P.s. most of Indian roads have speed limit under 100kmph only).

I think realistically, using the land cruiser like most of its customers which is banging around on a farm and gravel roads, then the 2.8 just makes so much more sense. Take tuning out of the equation, because most farmers don't consider it, just as most of them won't watch this.

Maximum power and torque are factors auto journalists always want to talk about most. A Land Cruiser is more than that. This legendary status was not aquired for it's power or torque but for it reliability, low cost and ease of maintenance. From 2007, Toyota Land Cruiser has moved properly into the era of electronic, only time will tell if this bread of Land Cruiser will match the durability and duration of the legend. Land Cruise inline six cylinder diesel engines are part and parcel of this legend. The reason the four cylinder engine has limited tuning upgrades is it is stressed to the max from the factory, where as the V8 is built for longevity. If you use all the four cylinder has to offer the service life will fall short of expectation. A good rule of thumb for anything machinical use only 70% of it capacity and it will serve you well. Of forty-eight years of Land Cruiser ownership it would be a hard sell to down grade into this generation. Cheers

Manual window winders, very average seating for 2 and lack of space in cab of utility, maybe 3 at a pinch if the middle passenger straddles the gearbox hump and gear lever, very uncomfortable, ask me how I know.

Why they change from the 1HZ straight 6 i will never understand, it beats these 2 in reliability and longevity

The heavier motor has a greater utility factor. When max loaded with trailer, driving down hill on an off chamber track. Or top heavy loads in the same scenario. Each model. More bling less utility.

It is Toyota, and u can never go wrong

IMO I can’t see it selling all that well.. having said that though i didn’t think the new ranger raptor would do that well either with no diesel option. But you see plenty of them around so I could be wrong 🤷

Why the Four cylinder is not manual. I think you must compare manual to manual.

14 seconds for a 1/4 mile. It's almost unbelievably slow. Would it beat a Morris Minor?

Where I live, which is not under a rock, that 2.8 has proven itself many times over in Hilux and Prado. Only the engine bay is different here, engine is the same. Why should it not last in a different engine bay?

You say to buy a V8, you cannot order a V8 in any model so we are all stuck with the 4 cylinder at this stage.

I would be soooo happy if I could afford myself any of these😢 The smallest and weekest engine and stick manual transmission, 2/3 door.... literally any equipment, just as it is a new Toyota LC 70. We have those things about 40yo driving around here in Croatia, if not wrecked they got anually tech and registration checked :) If I could today buy it as a new one ...? I guarantee I'll never have to buy another car ever again. I am making so about most 10.000km a year. For a Toyota thats 40 years happy life 😂 If I see to live 40 more 😂😂😂😂

I don’t like balancing shaft in the 4 cilinders
