God, I love these. Timeless design.
You and me both!
i like more the older design, my uncle has one aaand i love it... its torque is just a charm 4.5L 6 in line gasoline engine
me 4
Unfortunately you’ll never see it in the USA because this vehicle would rule the off road segments and put the Big 3 out of business.
its crazy how they control the markets and are able to withhold vehicles like this from you.. very sad
They are apparantly cancelling LC altogether in US now.
Land of freedom, ain’t free after all.
It’s because of the chicken tax, that’s why y’all don’t have the Hilux or the 70 series
That , and they won’t pass emissions and crash standards too
This is almost the best lc76 review for someone that is new to the field
cheers man.. i was new to this car so cheers
I so agree with you when you refer to "electrical garbage" in the car. Will be retiring in 5 years and I want to spend my retirement with one of these
a car that will definitely not let you down :)
@@RossReviewsau on point
This is my dream SUV. Strip down to basic. no fancy electronic, stick shift, diesel turbo.
its a BEAST!
Mine too❤
@@RossReviewsau you can say that again ...though it's been 2 yrs since you took the video to me it feels like yesterday 😅
Never seen anyone have so much fun in a 17 sec 0-60 before
HAHA! you are so right... i don't think i ever have had so much fun yet going so slow hahah *tho the S660 review comes to mind also :)
You can say that again mate ....I had to see the video again just to imagine the feeling😂
@@RossReviewsau you have inspired me to visit Ausie just to witness these machines...kindly pass me your email
I’ve seen a few land cruisers roll over to 1 million kms and still going. They are worth the money they cost
its a lot of money but they really do just keep going and going
It a diesel , diesel pick up in USA aren't cheap
Our pit patrol 76 series Landcruiser's on our mine site have over 1 million on the original engine , they run 24/7 365 covering 300 to 400 km per 12hr shift.
@@davidgriggs3967 Those are the V8s right? Awesome.
@@jetstream454 Yep the 4.5L V8 turbo
That Landcruiser looks awesome and they will last forever. The perfect car but damn they're expensive!! Great review as always!!
thanks brotha... yes so expensive but if ya want the best its gonna cost ya i guess..
Blame government and Union leaders its expensive , in Usa a Barebones heavy duty diesel truck $55000usd without taxes
I picked mine up second hand for $40.000 with 230,000 kilometres in early 2016, still holding it’s value, I wouldn’t lose a cent if I sold it now, it has the troopy engine, it won’t reach the half way mark until 500,000k. Excellent on fuel without the roof rack, as he said no frills, and I carry a good jump starter for when I have accidentally left the lights on.
They are worth to be expensive
It like buying a car in GTA online. Too overpriced, but guess what people love them
There are a few problems with the 70 series. The low hanging leaf spring hangers get caught up in mud bogs. The little suspension flex you get out of it means wheels will lift all the time. So without diff locks front and rear you're going to be spinning out. Also the alternator is low down so it gets flooded in water crossings. Other than that tho they are great.
Agreed, also the rear wheel track is 100mm narrower than the front wheel track. Pure laziness. Would prefer front mount intercooler over top mount but thats a personal preference. The snorkel should also be a single piece instead of the heap that it comes with. For the money it’s way overpriced but is currently the toughest solid axle 4wd you can buy. I like how basic it is but it should be cheaper and fix the major design flaws. People keep buying them so Toyota don’t care.
Do you guys ever had an experience with Prado 90 series? I just bought my first 4x4, and I Bought it on well modified mudder. Did you guys have any suggestion what improvement needed for my 90 series Prado. Thanks, greeting from Indonesia.
@@anugrahcahya5964 Sorry mate I don’t know too much about the Prado.
@@anugrahcahya5964 the 90 is an absolutely wonderfull vehicle. I dont know of you have the kzj 90 or the vzj90 but both are great. If you have the kzj take care of that electronic diesel pump and change it out for a mechanical one if it ever gets faulty. Also put an intercooler on if there isnt one and improve the exhaust piping and make it less restrictive. If its a petrol you dont need to do anything maybe just have a look at the fuel pumps pressire should be around 55 psi. Do look at the ball joints as they are prone to failure. Put a snorkel on then if they dont have one. If big animals are not an issue then dont put a bullbar as it does increase the weight of the front end. All prados have rear lsd but sonetimes they get swapped out for open diffs, do check if yours has the lsd as those diffs do make a huge difference in handling especially over curvy mountain roads at speed. Greating from the other home of the land cruiser, Pakistan.
The greatest vehicle ever made the Toyota LandCruiser Troop Carrier / or 76 series of course . 😁👌
its a beast thats for sure :)
I have to disagree, the 80 series 4.2td is the pinnacle. I have a 79series parked on my driveway. But the king will always be king.
Awesome video Ross ...Thanks for the review..I just stumbled on it..and I'm glad I did
Cheers mate
Love the 76 review
so far this is my favorite Ross reviews video Landcruisers have been my favorite car for a very long time
yes! good on ya man glad i could review it for ya! beast of a rig these Cruisers
Thanks,it was really helpful, that's my favorite 🖤
You're welcome 😊
Good review👍. Your editing & blending in of the different pictures was excellent. The exhaust sound's surprisingly good for a diesel.
Thanks! 👍 yeh the turbo V8 sounds mint
@@RossReviewsau HI Ross, Was that a factory exhaust or had it been modified?
@@angusbooker3295 i belive factory tho don't quote me most of the 76ers that dealer gets are worked on a bit to help their sales
@@RossReviewsau cheers, thanks for getting back to me...
Great video Ross! You've inspired me to sell my little lancer and upgrade to the big boys club of the 76ers :D ! Keep bringing out this awesome content. Peace from Rockingham WA!
thanks mate! glad to hear your getting one! they are simply some of the best 4x4s available.. you'll love it m8
Great video thanks for your efforts. Always look forward to new reviews .
Glad you like them! cheers for watching
Keep up the awesome content bro been loving it lately
Glad you enjoy it! appreciate all the support bro
AU TS50 was my fav.. another great review mate 🔥🔥👌 looks so tuff
Thanks 👍 that car was so clean eh.. love a T series
Fall in love with this beast, great review!
Thanks a ton!
Love that engine sound. They call these thong slappa's for a reason!
100! lol its one tough rig thats for sure
Shared and Liked.. Great review..Those dirt roads looked peaceful. What a RIG.. Favourtie video the Supercharged VF Clubsport with the E-WING Kit.. made me buy the whole Kit.. still need to install it...
Entered! yes that VF was MENTAL!.. i loved that E-WING kit so cool
My favourite videos have been all the GTR videos and the ones with you Ute and now the F6 🤙🏻
thanks brotha! wait till the E85 GTR! you will wanna come on the channel n try n break the fastest car record now i think lol
Favourite Ross review was the black f6 such a nice car and your reactions were gold👍
that was a BEAST! one of my favs too haha
Nice review mate.
cheers mate
favourite ross reviews ep definetly driving the xr8 through perth cbd :P cant beat the sound of a boss
nothing better than a V8 on full song through the tunnel :)
Good honest review right here. Not breaking any land speed records soon but awsome looking 4wd 🤙
Thanks 👍 im not much of a 4X4 guy.. but man i had fun reviewing this beast
Bro loving your reviews from day dot the first review I watched instant sub haha. Big fan loved the mum video in the 260boss that was golden 😂😁. What a beast of a Toyota but my favourite video would have to be 💯% the bagged vx clubsport. You being a ford fan but your grin when you were driving it and the signature gargol of the Holden v8's definitely brought a smile to my face. It probably would be one of the cars I want in my garage eventually coz I'm a topical Holden loving Aussie and really enjoyed that review 💚💛🇦🇺. Keep up the solid vidz bro much love. 🔥👊😎
thank you brotha! appreciate all the support! that VX clubby was one of my fav reviews also.. the drive was mental.. more reviews & vids to come
no worries at all bruva. loved the vid and I really enjoy watching your videos hey. Stay safe and hope your content reaches more people coz it's the goods 👊😎
Double clutch it and hear the sound..it's a beast
I have the 2010 76 series, had it 5 years now, awesome to drive, wouldn’t swap it for anything else.
They are wicked eh!
Just purchased basically the same one . Hanging out to get home and drive it ! Great review Bloke . Cheers
Hope you enjoy it! they are a killer rig for sure m8!
Picked up a new one a fortnight ago. Enjoy mate!! Shame the dpf will never sound like this
@@charlieaydin1377 congrats m8!
Love the f6 review
It’s not retro styled, mate... it just never changed it’s style, because there was no need. The 70-Series is the beefiest and most capable 4x4 in the world, and it didn’t come to the US because our laws and people wouldn’t allow it. Glad you reviewed it, but you should do a whole video on how and why the US doesn’t have this truck... the reasons are insulting and horrifying.
Too bad
the idle of that engine is the best in my opinion of any diesel enegine, it sounds so good, i always liked the toyota diesel engine sounds
its a serious engine isnt it :)
@@RossReviewsau hell yeah mate.
@@RossReviewsau very serious 😂
Love the GT-R black edition review
we have these like everywhere out here in Tanzania, and i must say, it really is a reliable car
perfect car for there eh
In Tanzania too but you gotta admit we are not doing justice to them as they do in Ausie ....Tje guys they know what it means to own the LC ...thats why you'll seldomly hear that engine roar back here in Tanzania
my favorite video was the one where you took your lil guy for a cruise in the ute his expressions are priceless haha. but na all your vids are top notch keep it up
:) thank m8.. the little guy loved that day
My favourite video mate has been the fpv f6 video What a ride
ya that was a really good video was so happy how it came out..
My favorite video is where you took your brother for a spin in the xr8 and his face is just blank. Closer followed by the vx clubsport
haha yes that was funny! he tried so hard not to laugh🤣
My favourite video on your channel was when you showed Perth on KZhead as a Perth man myself I really enjoyed it
Glad to hear it! that was a surprise on how well it did with views haha Perth's alright eh
Ross Reviews wouldn’t be anywhere else
I like this landcrusier video being a toyota man and a toyota mechanic. How ever you did forget to mention these come in two different models gxl an work mate. Gxl being top of the model an having factory difflockers. However everything else was bang on good on you mate keep up the awesome reviews.
thanks m8! damn yes i should have covered that as its a pretty big deal.. my bad
You must be a poor Toyota worker because they come in 3 models lmao
@@brocksinclair66 only the single cab ute has 3 specs
Hi Nathan...I'm a Toyota fan...do they still sell these in Ausie ?
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the xr5 t review
Glad you liked it
My fav vid is the honda liberty walk s660 the reactions are priceless.
yes! glad someone actually watched that review lol very cool car
Lots more mods then wheels and tyres mate Exhaust, bullbar, and by the sound of that turbo, she’s spooling a lot more then 7-9 psi!
This and the old style defender 😍 if I was crossing Oz it’d be this for peace of mind though😝
agreed! both epic 4wds
That sound💪🏾
so good eh. love these things
Awesome sound
Gotta love the 76💪
there a beast eh
My favorite vid was the EL GT review, cheers.
eh? haha
I like your reviews, 👍
Thank you man! Appreciate the support
2:35 , sound amazing, very aggressive tone to it 😍
sounds so good!
Picking a favorite video is not easy. So many of them have such good content in them ..But if i had to pick the one would be the kia stinger as im thinking of getting one
thanks m8! yes.. the kia was a great video.. i was really proud of that one.. surprised me how good it was! great car
There are 70 series Landcruiser's out there pushing 400 whp and 1100nm , but no one can make a clutch durable enough at the moment to be reliable. Seen low 13's on the quarter mile , 12's would be possible with bullet proof clutch or auto trans.
that is sooooo awesomeeee
Gotta love em
Dream 4x4 right there
beast eh!
We do have these in the middle east and lemme tell you what these cars are literally part of the culture. Two things define an Arab, LC70 and an LX570
australia and the middle east share a lot of cars only sold in are markets.. we must have similar tastes in cars haha
@@RossReviewsau actually we both want reliability because of the tough terrain The only cars that last are toyotas But we more leaning towards of a 71 to 75 series they all the same though
In Tanzania if you have these out their in the field you are considered a serious player...they command respect
very well done! you just feel it how much fun this car will make!
thank you.. yes this 76 is WAY to much fun off road
It’s ain’t Broken do not fix that was famous phrase for long time I love them u almost bet life for it.
great vehicles
My favourite video is when you reviewed the red Nissan skyline gtst, personally one of my favourite cars👍
Good choice! i loved that car.. that was prob my first vid i was proud of haha
Ross Reviews soo good
In the Middle East you can buy these with the 4.0 6 cylinder that is also found in the 4runner and fj cruiser, and prado etc.. these can get up and go decently quick too
yes i did hear that australia is only V8 tho i believe.. amazing vehicles
Yes and in South Africa they have V8 but the work I have seen you guys put into these cars is awesome
Aussie knows that boxy is how they want for their vehicle 👌
they love em..
Is very nice to see your review and having so much fun but I have to tell you and your audience. In Japan this model (2014/2015 only) is the 30th anniversary of the 70 series and it does not have the diesel V8 engine. It does come with a V6 4000cc that only runs on premium gasoline and unfortunately gives you about 4-5km per liter so it does sucks for fuel consumption but when it comes to speed I can’t actually exactly tell you about the specific timing to 100km/h but I’m positive that it won’t take more than 10 secs. I’ll double check on that and I’ll will edit my comment later ;) any ways they do last for ever and yes indeed there is a very strong reason about why this LC70’s are the most sold vehicles in the countries with the most rough off road scenarios. Best regards and thank you for your video
ah really that's a shame they didn't give you in japan at least a Diesel 6... the turbo diesel 8 this had was brilliant tho i have been told that the 6 is better in terms of reliability.. im sure each have there positives and negatives.. thanks for you comment :)
Im here for the hat mate 😁😁😁
chris smith got the hat haha.. will have to do another giveaway soon was fun
Best looking vehicle IMO
love the 76
favourite video has to be that black manual f6😍
that was such a good one eh
Ross Reviews oh yeah, can’t beat a dirty f6 in my opinion
Favorite review would have to be the black f6 you did recently
was a beast eh
Благодарю за видео обзор замечательного легендарного автомобиля!!!
I feel sorry for the countries that do not have this beauty
100% we are so lucky to have them on offer
They miss out tons of fun😂😅
To me the only vehicle that can match the land cruiser in car life is a range 4over defender , they can both go over a 1 million km and still keep pushing
That’s a fair call
Favourite video is when you reviewed the gt 335
My favourite Ross review would be the vx clubby and the E3 GTS
love that VX eh!
Its entry price is quite high considering the built-in technology and overall platform are 40+ years old but if you see it from the point of view that you will only have to buy one in a lifetime then is not expensive at all. By the way, I think they haven’t come to the USA and Canada for many reasons on their own design and overall old school tech than a market manipulation per say
I would choose this over a Raptor or TRX. Not kidding.
It will out last them 100%
Best option is to get service companies in the US (Mining, heavy duty, Agriculture) to special order fleets of these. The only reason we get these great vehicles in Aus is due to industry demand. If the US had these trucks it would definitely make a dent in the truck market. But it's no luxury vehicle.
oh its not luxurious at all lol yes the mining and farming sectors LOVE the landcruiser eh.. every vehicle almost would be a 70 series when i worked underground
This is my dream SUV! If only Toyota can bring them to the US brand new!
lot of people in the US want these
I have one, easiest 4x4 to modify. Beast
best 4X4 i reckon... n your right so many mods to choose from
The straight 6 turbo versions were better imho. Driven both. Gimme the six anyday.
true.. i believe these are the only ones offered in aus now.. would be cool to experience a 6 tho
They were replaced by the v8 in 2007, very good engines
Wau i love this
Epic rig
SriLanka has so many of these and they are fricking expensive. We got all the classics.
they are freaking expensive here too lol
My favorite episode is when your Mum & Grandmum (Nana) took the Ute for a spin!
that was a funny one lol #noscript
@@RossReviewsau Two Very Cool Ladies!
Man i want this rig for me and my family someday
It’s a beast
@RossReviewsau I'm sure you feel more connected to it when driving it rather than the electronics doing almost all the work for you🔥
My favourite video was the hsv vf clubsport
oooooffffffff that was a beast!
Honestly favorite video would of been the bagged VX clubby review. Nothing sexier than a bagged VX. Also the cruiser review was extremely interesting even though i'm not that into cruisers.
thanks man! yes i really loved that VX! the cruiser was good too.. felt like a nice change in pace
My fav was your r33 gtr lm review
that was one of mine too :)
I wish I could get one of these in the USA.
Love the looks and car but as a city dweller with Bush once in a blue moon can't justify one of these.
yup i agree to be honest.. i reckon you would have to be going out bush every weekend to justify the price and sacrifices.. really is an amazing rig tho and so much fun off the road
Basic interior it may have but not many beasts come with twin diff lockers as stock and 430NM in low range this thing would pull like a tractor. For offroad im a Patrol man myself but always respect a well built Toyota the new owner will be thrilled. Good luck to the lucky fella or shella that wins a skits hat.
Also me favorite video was your 10k subs burnout of course that was bloody skits
still scratching my head why people didnt watch that haha
its so basic but its so tough aswell.. truly the ultimate off roader.. i better get in a patrol next then eh
@@RossReviewsau that's not like us aussies to pass up a skid vid?! Hmmmm hope it's one of them vids that go big months after it's uploaded, then gives ya excuse to do heaps more. Bloody looking forward to the next video fella
@@mikenolan3060 lets hope eh! was proud of that vid hahah was a ripper!
My favourite video was the vx clubby
yes! that car was such a beast..
This truck is available in Canada but only for underground mining. . They’re fitted with a third brake system, locked in low range transfer case , front hubs permanently locked and only 1st and 2nd gear in the transmission. We can’t buy them from the company I work for. INCO ( now Vale ). Just as well because after having had the shit beaten out of them, there’s no much left of it.
we have them here in Australia used heavily in underground mining.. i used to work as a driller underground before youtube haha.. seems crazy they dont sell them tho in Canada would be a great vehicle, only thing i can think of is that they have very thin doors and basic interior might make it cold in winter.
The last true 4x4 !
totally agree..
Well we in georgia the country also can buy the 76 series also full land crusers and prados toyotas are mainly very popular here too bad i only can afford toyota aqua tho
cool thanks for sharing m8..
AWESOME
Definateky fine
What a beaut of a Toyota, you should get one mate and Barra swapone. BarraCruiser
would love to have a 76 series.. one day maybe
What's the earliest year these had 4.5l diesel?
ОБАЛДЕННО И БЕСПОДОБНООО...very very good...
the best
That’s one nice car
its epic eh
Ross Reviews yeh
my fave vid was the toyota alphard one
I do love the exhaust note from the 76 series v8 turbo diesel
sounds great eh
cheers! yes the alphard is something different :)
@Ross Reviews Can you please find out the lift size as well as the wheel/tyre size? Thanks mate and brilliant review!
unfortunately the car has since sold so unsure on the wheel specs sorry m8 glad you enjoyed the review tho
Where did you film the bush scenes can I ask please? Around Jarrahdale Dwellingup or down Collie way? Am I nuts for considering buying a 2020 model with 1400kms for $80k?
Your not nuts mate they hold there value like no tmr.. I was near canning dam road
