    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…..

    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!

    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".

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
