Upgraded axles with more oil capacity, heavier springs, stronger drive shafts, larger fuel tanks, custom HD transmission, reinforced frame, bead lock wheels and 6x6 with lockers, etc. They put in a ton of cool stuff in these packages that make the legendary 70 series even better. They are way overbuilt compared to the already insanely tough 70 series Land Cruisers. It would be awesome to build one into an overlander.
And the gun on top, you for got that. Hope it's controlled from the passenger seat, otherwise the gunner's going to get eaten by T-Rex or swooped up by a Pterosaur.
the mercedes Unimog is also heavily engineered so that the frame could flex in particular situations, you dont want to be so stiff because things would break.
Well done. You've invented a Somalian Technical with an extra axle and aftermarket parts. Bravo chaps, be sure to charge the MOD at least $500,000 per.
A diff on each side at the rear means you cannot high side yourself in challenging terrain. The Aussie Perentie 6x6 Land rover did that, and would get stuck where a 4x4 would not. Portals would be the way to go.
Everyday the Ukraine ground operations are proving this very fact the TAC-6 is a true environment fit what is being found in the new battlefield/war standards. 052924.
wow , spring under axle technology. nobody ever thought of adressing the ground clearance issue? may as well have leafs under the front axle too. this looked good at the start of the video , but ...................
They probably have an option for portals. Nothing wrong with Leaf when set up correctly, especially for heavy loads. Coils are better for ride comfort, and Torsion Bars are best for handling.
True. But google the Hilux / Landcruiser war. Rebels and smaller militia's in the middle east and Africa have required a whole rethink in military tactics after beating a number of tank divisions in nothing but Landcruisers like this (the 4x4 version) and Hilux's, with dudes sitting on the back armed with .50cal machine guns and RPG's. The smaller, maneuverable vehicles could outflank and outrun the tanks and inflict heavy casualties. Many militaries have been looking at replicating this role so you can see that's what these guys are aiming for
Choices like the Bushmaster are probably out of the budgets of customers looking at these, and a lot of defense corporations have to ignore enquiries from some countries due to their own countries laws on who they can sell defense hardware to. Mining companies in need of secure transport platforms will be looking at this vehicle closely, as will anti-poaching agencies through Africa, where the commonality of OEM service parts mean that operating these fits better in to their ongoing operational budget limitations.
Could be useful in Ukraine for sure they should try to reach out for a contract if they are able to produce enough units every year its just an opinion !
What's kinda funny is we have better rigs on the Rubicon all day long. Some even have Deuce and a Half axles. But they all cost less than $20K. Almost wish I had the gall to sell something like that to the taxpayers.
and it wouldnt take long for them to fail in combat, and WHEN they would... I take it you have not been, by your opinion? Then having to fuck with custom, and unobtanium parts(in any random shithole in the world), more than likely under threat of or actually under fire. Those modified rigs for the Rubicon are better rigs to take on the Rubicon, designed to do that task. I'm not saying this thing is the perfect specimen, but it is PURPOSE built for a set of tasks, and pretty well thought out SYSTEM as a whole. Choosing a LC is smart, wide covereage worldwide, among many other positives.
@@tosgem I'm making fun of the sales pitch not criticizing the design choice. Yeah leaf springs and shocks are standard for heavy duty trucks because they are simple, pretty effective and cheap but that's the point its totally standard.
@@SavageShooter93 I agree to a point, they could have at least got a leaf-over kit and put the leaf springs over the axels rather than beneath. But for this vehicles intended purpose I believe leafs are the best choice
@@tosgem I agree its supposed to be a tough light military vehicle. Anything more advanced/complicated would sort of defeat the purpose. Again I was laughing at the marketing not the design.

Its the opposite of small, light, easily transportable though. 29K lbs... empty weight. 62k lbs (30,000 kg) fully loaded + can tow heavy trailer...
This is the 70 series. This body style is still produced new. It's just not marketed in the US. They still sell them new in Australia and the middle east.(Probably plenty of other places as well). Toyota has only offered factory lockers in the US for a few years. They have been offering full lockers in other countries for decades. Same deal with diesel engine options.
35" tires are not "impressive" lol, its pretty much a minimum for offroad vehicles. this seems like a lot of hype about a medium modified Toyota 6x6, marketed to people who don't know anything about offroad vehicles and are easily impressed. none of this is stuff that hasn't been done by many people before without the inflated cost. still has leaf springs with non bypass shocks (are they just oem?) and your calling it an advanced military vehicle? common. bypass shocks, choil springs, portal axles or reinforced dana 60hd / dana 80, 38" tires, tube chassis, ctis, more lights, manual atlas or other transfer case to avoid complexity, then we can talk.
Is it just me or is this marketing to the needs of guerrilla and terrorist entities? Obviously every military around the world develop their own vehicles and certainly do not subscribe to or purchase equipment via advertisements. Just sayin.
Yeah. The military NEVER, EVER buys COTS. That's Commercial, Off The Shelf, to you. The military (particularly SF) never just buy commercially developed equipment. That's why the British Army don't use thousands of Landrovers. Because they were developed as a commercial vehicle specifically for farmers...
7 years of research and u just copied something built in Australia or south Africa in someones back yard and then you went for spring under axle that has a lower ground clearance than spring over axle set up you not only wasted money by researching for over 7 years and still failed when you copied from the backyard mechanic by the way a backyard mechanic is actually smart enough to use portal axles
@@dustyfarmer height does not make u a better target not knowing tactics make you a better target an abrams tank is 8ft tall and can be hidden easilly a t 80 is 7ft tall and still gets hit height has ABSOLUTELY nothing with if your an easy target or nothing its all about how you use the vehicle and some of the smallest vehicles with the lowest site picture have the most lethalality on the battle field ( the german wiesel tank) so either you just talking crap or i was not paying attention in field tactics part of basic training
Off road camper version would be awesome 🤩
Definitely... would love to see that.
They make an 924 gallon water reservoir for it also...
American available off-road camper version.
That hydraulic stabilizer system looks perfect for leveling a camper.
...well now I want that, dangit...
Cool. So it's a toyota pickup with a dual rear axle and a flat bed. Got it.

Yes but... for way way waaaaay more then you would expect to pay for a Toyota with duel axles and flatbed.

@@PiDsPagePrototypes remote weapon station 😉
@@PiDsPagePrototypesthey show the controls at @3:51
7000 lb carry capacity means a really sweet slide in camper could be accommodated.
Yes definitely 💯
This is my exact opinion also. I was looking at the Range Rover perentie as a dual cab ute with easy to work on components for the exact same job.
0:12 That frame flex though lol
lmao
Is it the frame, or the cab and bed floating on the frame?
you realize this is a known advantage of body on frame construction for off roading right?
the mercedes Unimog is also heavily engineered so that the frame could flex in particular situations, you dont want to be so stiff because things would break.
I saw that right away too
Take that to King of the Hammers competition to see how it holds up to extreme offroad abuse.
It's not really meant for that, it's an overlander with a mounted turret that can carry 5 tonnes and has a 2000km (1200 mile) range
@@tosgemYes, it's ideal for maintenance crews at Jurassic Park.
ship to america please, we want this to be our next family truck
Yeah Buddy! The guys on the paintball course are screwed when my order arrives!
I could use one of those to get to work, of course I want the gun mount too.
Well done. You've invented a Somalian Technical with an extra axle and aftermarket parts. Bravo chaps, be sure to charge the MOD at least $500,000 per.
Ironic how little credit they are giving to Toyota. Most of concepts mentioned were just 3D animations or footages from other places.
So modern day Rat Patrol is what I hear. Also the 6x6 is the most cool thing ever
I want one in left hand drive and a manual transmission.
How good would this be with Portal Axles and 37's.
and offset axle drives or through axle drives instead of 2 driveshafts.
Someone, somewhere will build one in to a RV. 😂
What engine is used? Diesel or gas?
Diesel 4.5 L V8
Look how smooth the suspension is!
this is like if the 4WD 24/7 crew decided they needed a military
A diff on each side at the rear means you cannot high side yourself in challenging terrain. The Aussie Perentie 6x6 Land rover did that, and would get stuck where a 4x4 would not. Portals would be the way to go.
@12:02 he really just sat there while they fired live rounds into the windshield
Its a very common thing when watching advertisement for combat gear out of South Africa...
Ready made technical truck.
Dont think gary at my local toyota dealer is rated to service the turret tbh.
Yes with a bit of training 😁
Everyday the Ukraine ground operations are proving this very fact the TAC-6 is a true environment fit what is being found in the new battlefield/war standards. 052924.
If I buy 100 of them at once do I get a discount?
Yes most definitely
Add an extra axel to 79 LC, markup the price 1000%
Include portals, 37's and floor matts and I'll take one.

0:24 I don't think the only choices between too light and too heavy are this truck and a tank

Can do this with a Gen 3 Taco?
With a power train swap it can be done.
i want one
Could be useful in Ukraine for sure they should try to reach out for a contract if they are able to produce enough units every year its just an opinion !
Definitely...it's reliable,agile and rather easy to maintain.
Can it be done with an old school Defender 300 tdi.
10:05 never thought about 6x6 having that advantage 🤔
It does. But its the rear axle and the overall wheelbase that gives it the stability, longer wheel base vehicles handle better than short wheelbase.
@@big_ute I don’t think it’s just longer wheelbase, the fact that you have two pivot points at the rear should affect yaw
Did i miss the engine type and specs???
It's a 4.5L V8 Diesel
How are you going to get that through customs?
so if I throw an extra axil on my Tacoma, can I sell it as I high-tech tactical vehicle?
Dunno. First you'll have to tell us what an 'axil' is. 😂
For sure! get to work. you can try to SELL whatever you want, but people BUYING is the important part.
Dump truck variant for tactical concrete sidewalk and small driveway repair. Can it tow a mini excavator? Diesel option in the USA?!?

Why using AI for the script ? That's pathetic...
I’m pretty sure the French special forces use this
seems to use the stock toyota front axle.....thats probably why they use 5 bolt rims, unusual for a supposedly heavy duty vehicle.
Got 3 axles so your going to get charged more on the turnpike
Uh. Couldn't you just mildly up armor a bunch of regular Hi Lux and sell more of them for a lot less?
actually they do the UN and other groups use them all over the world

It looks like an older Toyota truck with an extra rear axle to me. I think a Humvee is still superior in a tactical environment...
The chassis and the suspension have been modified
