New 70 Series V8

[lshobie]

Hmm, used to be able to put a beer on the fender - will have to work around that I guess, maybe weld a bracket on the fender.
I like the pick up!

horrible front

Lets face it ,its an oversized Surf

Diff doesnt look any bigger either



I suspect that tow hoop is a "get home thing" rather than a recovery point like earlier models had
I want the old model back

yep hilux has gone soft/tacoma/american(dare i say it!!) also gona come out as a 5 door too so should steal some prado sales which are just an overated hilux surf/ fj cruiser down here

Oh no you didnt (but yes you should!!) yes our trucks (highlux) havent been the same (IE TUFF) since the last 85 solid axle, you lucky bastards down under have it good when it comes to your choice in Toyotas. I will always own an 83 style (in my avatar)

arent you aussies ever happy? sheesh

send it my way (USA) I will throw a tundra 10.5 diff under it then will you be happy?! (I am not sending it back after the mods though!!)

all in all nice rig, I am guessing it will grow on you like most of Toyotas new designs (when they start "americanizing" - no diesels or solid axles then you should bitch!!!)

horrible front

I agree. I'm a huge 70 series fan. The front end is disappointing but I guess it has to go somewhere in terms of an update. The lack of flat fenders like lshobie notes is disappointing too. Oh well...

Those numbers are very very impresive .. not HP are only 205 HP .. but 582 lb/p of torque make me smile !!!!!

317 ft lbs isn't bad... be a nice swap into the older, better looking models

I thought 430 NM are 582 lb/f I'm fine . ?

Agree with older better loking models .. !

 

[Waggoner5]

I like the older better also, but I would take one of these in a second. Turbo diesel and all.

ft-lb= nm / 1.35491

 

[Tapage]

ft-lb= nm / 1.35491

something is wrong thought .. coz 1HD-FTE come with 430 lb/p

Some more pics of the 76

 

[roscoFJ73]

Latest news is that aussie dealers will begin getting deliveries on the 23rd of March
I also heard the V8 petrol willbe available in the 79 and 76 series.

On a sad note ,the 105 series is reportedly no longer part of the landcruiser line up.
I think it would have been the ultimate cruiser,big V8 diesel wagon with solid front axle.RIP

 

[Tapage]

I'm little disapointed with those performace numbers .. I'm still awaiting the real numbers for V8 Toyota Twin turbo diesel intercooler !

Something like 300 HP and 600 lb/p ..

 

[hks3sgte]

New 76: Max Payload = 820kg
78/79: Max Payload = 1140kg
