Yea can’t work out why Toyota never put an auto behind these, I reckon they lost a big market for these things due to manual only. They only changed them to auto now because a lot of company’s that buy them had to change to auto for OH&s reasons, same reason they had to add airbags and abs on previous model
Nice video. I love the new 70 Series look and am very interested in the 4cly. I think it will be a great vehicle in the long run. What I would like to see is a comparison like this but with the Norwell Bull. 4 banger auto against the v8 auto see compare drivability off-road. Great video all the same. I want one.
Great video guys but we still love our V8. We’re planning to get a RTT and Top End Trip for next year….. leaving the caravan behind and making the most out of our Norweld canopy 😊
What’s your thoughts on the GXL model against the 22 SR5 plus Hilux. Same running gear but much heavier and $15k more expensive Get a bit more payload but to spend that extra $$ on the Hilux would give you way more add ons and one awesome rig
You seemed to drive the V* harder especially when in that low range section., maybe you should use less throttle next time and let the power of the v8 walk you up?
I only buy 4 cyclone cars. I've had a few landcruisers over time including a JDM LJ78 why the 2.4L engine. It's was great. The engine was shit but I never had any issues, even off road. You don't need all the huge power. Autos work better off road as well. I wouldn't spend the money on a new or used overpriced 4WD anyway. Just not worth it.. I bought a used ssangyong Actyon for a very good price and it went very well on a trip to the snowy mountains and Victorian snow fields/high country..
not gonna lie thats not a landcruiser when some says they have a landcruiser I either think its a v6 or a v8 not a 4 cylinder not gonna lie dont like it at all...
I feel I speak for many when I say Toyota owes it to the purists to sell the V8 with the Auto.. FFS people have been wanting this forever. Come on Toyota!

Beauty fellas, lookin good 👍
Great video many thanks. I was always a V8 man but looking forward to picking up my auto 79 this week
Good choice! Enjoy!
Still wish the V8 was available from Toyota with automatic, or maybe the 300 series V6 with automatic

U can still use 200series auto on it
Also wish that it had the 6 speed manual now instead of 5 speeds
I think all of the 300 series are automatic

We have one of them videos dropping soon.
Sweet update on the trays. That looks pretty good 👌🏼
No checker plate on the sides looks the goods
V8 tuned with portals and large tyres 👌🏽
we got that already with an auto as well. Bull79 is the pinnacle. this is a great alternative and proven to be very capable almost stock.
Gday mate. Great vid.
Any chance you could tell me what rims and tyres you’ve got on the 2.8?
Thanks in advance
Good power and much more fuel efficient

well done great video - keep the content coming !!!
If the cameras didn’t show it but I noticed that it wheel lift as much. Great comparison!
Nothing will beat V8 Manual gear box and sound of v8 engine. V8 can drive without tauching accelerator.
Great comparison, thanks
Thanks for watching!
Mate next time, you try it out with some loads..
Does it hold top gear when driving on the Hwy with those 33s?
Workmate comes out with 33"s
Did you notice any difference in the performance of the air conditioning ?? I was watching a clip this morning and he thought the AC wasn’t as good
Aircon feels exactly the same!

Two completely different cars. Depends what you are planning on what you are planning on using the car for. Both are great platforms.
AWESOME VIDEO
Manual box and V8 everyday
Until you drive the 2.8 auto
Modern auto box craps all over a manual for 4wding.
Yeah that’s what the misses said to mate 😂😂😂
Ahh the new 72.8 series 😀
V8 all the way ❤
Do you scrub with these tyres? Cheers
You seemed to drive the V* harder especially when in that low range section., maybe you should use less throttle next time and let the power of the v8 walk you up?
@norweld, great comparison. Who did the gvm upgrade. Thanks
Just one question. Did I hear u say u have a 2” GVM upgrade?
Can u break that down a bit for me? 0:02
I'm assuming he means a 2 inch lift+ GVM upgrade
With the narrower rear axle they fish tail in sandy and boggy areas
Everyone will say that the 2.8 wont be as good the v8, more 2.8 models will be sold more then the v8, absolute unit
Pretty impressive for a 4cyl Auto. Will it have same GVM’s as the V8? Also, what Solar Panel is that in the Cromie?
It's a 120W Redarc unit on the rhino rack on the CROMIE truck
Cheers 🍻
Dont mind ya show , why the music carnt watch with that noise. cheers
What tires size and lift do have on the new LC? Thanks
We have a ARB gvm upgrade with BP51s and Roh assaults rocking a nitro ridge grappler 295/70/17
Is the rear axle conversion worth doing?
Toyota should bring them out with the same width axle as the front
nah mate. had 79s in my family all my life and have never noticed it
auto 4wds have been around for a long time and well known to be better. seems the 70 series mob have just caught up haha.

Looks good but I like my 2022 79 series 😎😎😎 better 👍
every sIngle other manufacturer that went that way had early failure and poor sales. Nissan zd30, ranger 2.2, etc etc etc.
It's fantastic to see that Toyota has copied the Mahindra so closely. Seems that the only difference is the badges. 😅
85k for this is Crazy. No real update in the interior. 👎
I feel I speak for many when I say Toyota owes it to the purists to sell the V8 with the Auto.. FFS people have been wanting this forever. Come on Toyota!
RIP LC70
Was junk before & still is rubbish
Keep saving mate, you’ll get one eventually.
v4 🤢 for the city grocery only
