How about 4WD 24-7 challenge any hybrid/EV 4x4 manufacturer to put one of their so called "capable" vehicles through the $1000 track or do the Tele track at the start of the season. That would be a true test of their product.
100% agree. Then we’ll see the truth.
Not gonna happen, maybe a test like they do with dual cab of the year but taking a stock vehicle through those tracks not happening
The $1000 track kicks even GQ's, GU's, and 80s from time to time so I don't think the dual cabs aren't gonna last through there😂
They took the new ranger though the telle track and it fell apart so it'll be even more finicky than the ordinary one
If they took those “allegedly capable” vehicles down to the $1000 track i reckon the first bog hole would probably put them out of action. They would need a lot of aftermarket accessories fitted to them to attempt that track that’s for sure.
no v8's means we've finally and sadly come to the end of an era, we've let the greenies win :(
I feel sorry for anyone that has not driven a V8 either a 70 series a 200series or a Y62 or any V8 that awesome feeling the noise no V6 turbo can replace it
Agree! I grew up in the 70's and currently own a 73 ford Bronco 5 ltr. There is nothing like stepping on the gas and hearing/feeling that engine roar!
facts. i had an 80 series and now drive a v8 4runner. i dont even care about the fuel issue lol
I think the big thing that people aren't recognizing is that it's no ordinary petrol v6 it's the same engine in the current GT-R. It sounds pretty damn nice, especially with a bit of custom pipe work
@@haterhater6409
Fair1 but what's the weight difference between a GTR and Patrol?.
Will the GTR be pulling 3.5t?
Increased stress doesn't help reliability.
V6 twin turbo would have better power and economy.. you don’t need to pollute the whole street with the noise of your slow 4x4 to enjoy driving it..
if you dont buy them they will stop making them
@@calvinmulford6110 Hybrid vehicles are outselling traditional vehicles already
May as well figure out which ones are worth buying
@@Ktmfan450 - I think he was talking about the V8s - fleets buyers run far away from the "poor environmental performers" ESG means more to them than "the real bottom line" - the human capital. - Also the higher consumption (most fleet vehicles never tow heavy loads, so no "need" for the big motors, if that is necessary they buy a truck, not a passenger vehicle.) costs idling in traffic and running "bobtail".
@@Ktmfan450 that is simply not true hybrids are not selling more then traditional combustion engine vehicles at this point in time. I wonder if people who make these stupid comments have the same google as me.
The government is forcing them to lol!!!
@@AIoverlordDaveI beg to differ! Toyota offers hybrid options in most of their vehicles and also sells way more hybrids.
Yeah look im not too worried about the hybrid, no one in these comments want one. Its for those city blokes who dont take their car off road.
What a bunch of absurd nonsense. The dream overland rig is a SERIES Hybrid with a Straight 6 Petrol engine (basically a Barra). There is no mechanical connections between the engine and the wheels it's just a generator. Entirely driven by dual electric motors one for each axel. But no Automaker has the cojones to sell that, as it would make their current products obsolete.
Electric and hybrid aren't the same thing.
This one is an Electric.
No doubt the VK56 is a great engine, very very durable. But it has variable valve timing, high pressure direct injection etc....10 years ago everyone was saying it was a soft roader and would not last, independent suspension all round...ten years on and they are up the Cape over the Simpson and all over, nuff said. Australia is not he only harsh environment in the world. The Patrol is a legend in the middle east and much like the Y62, the Y63 will have had extensive development time in these areas and conditions. The middle east is a massive market compared to Australia and they will not jeopardise that. And can you buy a Landcruiser a Turbo? Cannot see anyone whining about the twin turbos under a 200 or 300 series, why whine about this? It will be tough, but you wont see it for while, at least in OZ
This is why i got an ineos grenadier, no driver aids, and minimal ecus, solid axles. Built for purpose.
Patiently waiting for your guys to even acknowledge its existence little own test it offroad!
But B58 engine though, I wouldn't trust that in the middle of nowhere.
Its a piece of crap
@@GAME_CLIPS_2772 do you own one?
@Neojhun mine has the B57, and toyota use the B58 in the supra. Very reliable engine from all accounts.
@@Neojhunyou haven’t got a clue what you’re chatting about. The b58 is a superb motor and to be fair will run rings around most land cruiser engines.
Super charger at Gunshot coming soon.
The same bs was said when fuel injection started to take over.
On the nissan, everyone cried about it going from the 4cyc diesel to petrol v8 only. And the tears over that. Tech moves faster then opinions.
Shaun and Graham are looking pretty young these days 😂😂
Every 4x4 after 2022 has too many settings and electrics
Every vehicle since 2000 more like it.
everything accept a 79 series lol
I'd say post 2000 is the yardline.
My mate's D22 Navs from 03-04 had 3 vp44 pumps have a electrickery brain fart meaning replacement.🤯🤬
Not to mention the Neutral Position Sensor issue.

this EV push needs to stop
WHAT YOU SAID ❤
Totally agree 👍
It won’t. The goal is for everyone to be electricity/grid dependent
@@Jake_Hamlin You must have a Hydrocarbon cracker in your backyard
@@Jake_HamlinHaving hybrid/EV makes you less dependent on a grid of petrol stations lol
Go and use an angle grinder or inverter welder in a rain storm and you soon learn a lesson about could happen with that ranger
The old timers were not wrong turbo failures are fairly common.
All the new vehicles, including lc70 series have turbos
@hi9580 yes and turbo failures are a common thing and require extra maintenance. Their bearings are a wear item. All the new vehicles having them has absolutely zero effect on that fact.
It’s really nice to drive these new cars. Very comfortable and very reliable day to day. But they won’t last out bush. Built with as much tech as possible for as cheap as possible and now built for every soccer mum takes away that toughness and longevity.
Australias actually turning into the original Mad Max! 😂😂😂
2 systems to power your vehicle. Why? Twice the maintenance and more to go wrong , doesn’t make sense to me, just over complicating things. It will get expensive when the 10-year battery life runs out , that will kill your resale.
Yep parallel hybrid are horrible. Just a more complicated vehicle that relies on burning petrol. It should be the other way around where it's primarily Electric Motor driven and just a petrol generator integrated. That's called a Series Hybrid.
Why are there series hybrid train and ship?
@@hi9580 Because it's the proven most reliable drive train. Ice Breaker Ships even use Series Hybrid drive train.
yall should resurrect holden and design your own 4wd vehicles in oz
GM probably still hold the rights to the name.
Holden never made 4x4s just sold rebadged Isuzus
@@Jacobtheunwise they stopped selling rebadged isuzus in 2012 the RC colorado was the last collie that was part of the isuzu partnership
No replacement for displacement. CC replaced by kWh.

The battery is sealed a waterproof
@@proximaone1350until it hits a rock😮
You’ve seen the teslas driving through flooded roads like it’s nothing?
@@stevesmith3556 Hit WHAT Rock? It's too far away from the battery.
Stop with the absurd nonsense. SUBMARINEs, SHIPs, WATERPUMPs, InSinkErator. There are soo many cases of electric motors being used with water. EVs have already proven SUPERIOR and crossing a RIVER. Heck many 4x4 BEVs have superior water fording height rating.
Electric as a drivetrain offers quite a bit that should be useful off road. Heaps of torque for example. The problems, however, make it unfavorable, at least with the current state of electric technologies. From the added weight of batteries to the hassles of fault tracing in the bush means that no one wants one.
Glad to hear there will be more Land Rover content. Defenders are awsome. Would also love to see jock in a RRC or any disco (except the the disco 5 😅).
I’m gonna speak for both the Y63 and the ranger hybrid here;
This unfortunately involves a lot of government legislation and even if you don’t buy it new legislations will come that will force every person to buy them, that be either continuing to up the cost of owning non hybrid/ thirsty engines, or at worst making them illegal. The fact that Nissan didn’t make it hybrid really shows they don’t want to go down that path and holding off on their 4wds as much as they can on the regulations and emissions side of it. This is where the people need to band together and really push the government back from making such attempts.
Now it may sound like I’m all negative here but personally a hybrid 4wd is still better than a Cybertruck any day of the week they have there place in our society and roads, just not in our hard 4wding society (both tracking and touring). What we must stand against is them making what we drive already more difficult or illegal to own and drive, heck start getting our beloved rigs onto club plates to make sure it can still be driven at all.
It's happening in the states too. Going with smaller engines then putting turbos on them which just increases failure points and maintenance costs go up. Ev and hybrids are actually going away here. Not selling. Ford just dropped it's ev trucks because the cost is higher than they can sell them for and aren't willing to keep losing money rightfully so.
On the V8 topic. Appart from towing, anything a V8 can do off road a 4 or 6 cylinder could do just as well. Power and torque is no match for good line choice and driver skill.
they will not last. I mean they will definetly have their place but as a 4wd no way. we already have hybrid car fires on the roads, you dont want that risk and complications out on the tracks especially in cape york.
If those batteries catch on fire you're going to need more than water to put them out.
Or the EV itself could just SELF Extinguish the fire. The latest batteries are designed with fire resistant foam or putty between the cells. Then also far Less PLASTIC is used now mainly changing to metal or ceramic sheets for packaging. You end up having a battery that will self extinguish in many cases of fire, leaving HALF burnt battery pack. Who'd a thunk you could design a battery with less fire risk.
Worst thing about the new Y63 going V6 is that the Y62's used price will only go up...
Thanks jock for letting us know why the next landy is. A 97 disco 2
Ranger Ev +Aussie bush = A Bush Fire .
Nah that would be a Jeep Pentastar. Luckily very few of those exist here.
cant wait to see how the cyber truck would go if it ever comes to australia.
It might just be me but Jesse looks like he is reading off script at gunpoint talking about EV’s and the future of them, he looks very uncomfortable…!
Nah he just has no clue what he is talking about. That took a lot of effort to invent.
Reading facts off google is somthing anyone can do
What should scare everyone is the fact that the only people pushing for EV’s are the government, regulators, and politicians…..not one off roader wants a big bank of expensive and heavy batteries in their 4x4!
What a bunch of absurd nonsense, this video is not about Proper BEVs. It's mostly Parallel Hybrids where the Petrol Engine still mechanically connected to the wheels. Thus highly reliant on Burning Petrol. Drivers love EVs because they are Resilient and POWERFUL thus they get the job done. It's not governments or regulators which are happy with 400 horsepower and beyond EVs some which can ford through 1 meter of brown water it's just what the customers Want. You are soo brainwashed your arguments are only political ideological. You have no clue about he real world mechanical facts. I want an Off roader SUV with 30kwh of battery capacity and a Straight 6 Petrol engine basically a Barra purely as a generator driven by two electric motors one on each axel. That is the superior off-roading rig no Automaker has the cojones to build.
Lmfao! The V8 isn't dead. They tried that shit here in North America... now all the big auto makers are looking at full lots with crap nobody wants to buy. And they're all scrapping their EV plans.
LOL What a bunch of absurd nonsense. V8s died when they went turbo and not supercharger or even better Electric Supercharger with a mild hybrid system. "they're all scrapping their EV plan" is just absurd nonsense, they are just no making new investment existing ones are still going. This is just temporary due to all the propaganda BS going on which will blow over soon as it's mostly absurd nonsense divorced from reality. Once demand pickups again there will be new plans and investments in roughly 2 years. MARK MY WORDs, RUclips comments do not forget.
Where do these EV's get their recharge? We all know solar and wind doesn't recharge these vehicles 😂..
More coal and hydro power necessary for sure.
GAS, still way cleaner than Petrol and especially Diesel.
I have a 2.0l Wildtrak kitted out and had the winch malfunction on the road. Long story short, I’ve seen what the guys mean by these things going haywire with low voltage. By the time we stopped, not even hazard lights were functional.
People that drive through mud and water will just own and maintain the vehicles that are currently on the roads.
Seeing what happened to that ranger up at cape York last week should be enough to deter anyone from driving a modern vehicle through deep water.
These new electric utes are clearly designed for driving on the highway, and dirt tracks at the most.
EV isn't the answer for everyone dusty dirt roads are my everyday travel could not see one lasting long here
I don't think they'll get a place on 4x4 tracks
Yet they work perfectly fine in MINEs and Timber Mills for the past several decades. Electric Drive is the one part of vehicle that is rock solid reliable in harsh environments. These PickUp (not even utes anymore) are not even Pure electric BEVs, just Hybrids which mostly rely on burning petrol. It's the petrol engine part which I worry about.
They have way less moving parts to go wrong
More Junk.
Jocko be careful what you wish for! Land rover models after the old school 110 turned their owners into mechanics on a daily basis with constant issues being mainly electrical and suspension.
Interesting with EV or Hybrid powertrain, i wonder whats manufacturers reponse are? Or details in owners manual? Wonder more 4WD owners have older rig instead new 4WD? What happens if old rig or tractor on farm needs jump start can these electric powertrains jump start old rigs?
I need some of that u beaut raptor coating for my new project pleaseee fellas😉🤞. 2000 model Hilux, 1st of the 3.0l 5L engines with just 135,000 on the odo=$3600 spend..
Still prefer my manual 4wd on any given Sunday..apart from some bad operator error choices,it's reliable does the job,never let's me down...given 😊 some of the tracks 👣 it's been too.
No one wants an ev’s in America I can only imagine how useless they will be way out in Australia
NOT an EV, it's just a Hybrid. Still burns petrol.
From what I see of the new 4wds.... the world will become a "Cuba"...... where keeping the old 4wds will have a large share of the economy , I can live with that, keep making parts for the old 4wds because I will continue to buy parts to maintain mine
EVs won’t handle Australian off road conditions and hybrids will only be used in the city.
EVs can only go so far off road before they can’t get back.
@@liamgross7217 unlike cars with engines where clearly the fuel is "magic'd" out of thin air... Take some solar panels out into the bush, and you could stay their indefinately!
@@maxtorque2277 good luck. You might have to (Stay indefinitely)
Stop with the absurd nonsense, these are not even real EVs. Just parallel hybrids which mainly rely on burning petrol. Real BEVs or Series Hybrid are SUPERIOR at Off Roading and do way better job at mud and loose gravel than what ever you have driven. Even a Tesla Model 3 is freakishly good a climbing Sand Dunes. Your spam is just baseless assumptions.
@@Neojhun we were talking full EV. Leave the chat please.
Jocko nailed it with the rule number one in towing principles. Tow vehicle heavier than trailer!
Its just scary how engines nowadays are going to small displacement and big power, that's how engines go 💥!
Honestly designers nowadays should be taking notes from engines like the legendary 1HD-FTE, big displacement, capable of big power but detuned for longevity!
And that ties into the whole V8 thing, the old Cruisers (like the 80 and 100/105) and Patrols (GQ/GU with the TD42) with Inline 6's are awesome so I don't see how going to a V6 is a disadvantage, least they didn't do a 70 and go to a 4 cylinder tbh
While not everyone goes bush, it still shows how these cars act when things go wrong, and even without going bush, things go wrong.
Battery replacement in about 10 years at a cost similar to an engine replacement means they are not a cost effective option long term, and unless your charging from green energy it's just bs.
Nah it's only a tiny 11.8kwh battery, soo about the same as the LABOR Cost for engine replacement by a dealer mech. Still not cheap.
Batteries will be much cheaper, lighter and higher capacity in ten years
@@hi9580 except they're made of finite resources that will inevitably cost more as their are less
I’d be interested in seeing this channel take a Cyber Truck out for a review.
Chassis would snap
@@GAME_CLIPS_2772 Not even Whistlin Diesel could snap the chassis He just broke off the tow hitch sub frame.
Yeah no, its as usefull as a wet paper bag 😂😂
Love the cape trip boys! You two are really taking over the hardcore 4wheeling segment of the channel! Keep Shauno on the fishing episodes, love those!
Boys! What happened to the fails?!? Was keen to see if I was gonna be on there with a broken CV! 🤣🍻
Been watching you guys for years now and learnt so much from the show.
Got me through some late nights Carring for my new born son.
Me and my partner watch every new episode that comes out. Huge fans!
The question regarding splicing tickled my interest as someone that has spliced this type of rope for over 15years In my career. Hot tip from me is never tie a knot in this type of rope it actually weakens it dramatically. It must be hitched or spliced 😊 the technique Jessie uses, I don’t wanna say wrong but it’s not the correct way. And funny thing is most winch ropes come that way.
U need a bremil lock and a tapered berry. Doesn’t take much longer but the strength of the splice is considerably stronger this way.
Hope this helps big love guys!
That New Hybrid Ranger will be Fantastic. 100kg battery, 30 kg Genny and 10kg of fuel to run the genny You will be left with a payload of a suzuki Jimny. 2 people and 1/2 a tank of fuel you'll go for miles. LMAO NOT !!
Ranger battery is 11.8kwh that is less than 100kg, 90kg including protective ARMOR. It will have very little effect on payload. Not much difference to the Pure Petrol version.
@@Neojhun 🥇 just a little acknowledgment for the bloke who posts the most replies to comments (albeit in a socially dysfunctional manner). Good on ya mate 👍🇦🇺🍻
We wont be able to drive anywhere before long so being electric wont even matter..
Not many 240V plugs in the bush. Problem I see with the new cars. Only the top models have the more powerful engines. So all the plush interior is not needed for a car taken in to the bush regularly.
You'll be able to start your fire off your car burning to the ground after a salt water crossing! Still good though, you are saving the world apparently!
Evs are junk for what we would use them for but thats not the direction that we are heading unfortunately
Electric vehicles are the future and what we are seeing these days in the current offerings isn’t the answer. But this same evolution happened the same way when we went from the horse and cart to the petrol vehicle. Cars weren’t just instantly the better option. They were a novelty at first and as the technology got better and cars slowly over took the cart and became the norm. The power capable of electric motors is insane compared to what a combustion engine. If and when we came establish a better storage source of more efficient way to create electricity then you’ll see Ev take over.
People are afraid of change, get with it! This is the future and 10 years from now we will be saying how awesome the ev and hybrid vehicles are for offroad, BUT, like anything new it will take some time to refine it, i wouldnt buy the first in the series, but other than that, bring it all on, i cant wait to get my rivian when it finally comes to aus!!
Lmao.... my TD5 gets me to the same places as a V8.... I just go further on a single tank.
They sound awesome, too 💪
I think the future is going to be paddocks of EV type vehicles with rooted expensive batteries nobody wants to buy.
You definitely need a Y6300 Episode ! Be good to see space and clearance inside and out, as well as fuel consumption towing and not, etc. They are the yin and yang to 4WD community in AU. Curious how the petrol vs diesel goes with power availability through the rev range and how this equates on the tracks and with some weight behind it. Thanks for the ep gents !
i am between y62 and y63. 4wd Y62 brand new is US$ 46000 and Y63, price is not announced. i find the quality of toyota is going down. lot of 200's have gasket issues on cylinders 5 and 7.
Jock-o is in a league of his own in this video haha Feisty! I am glad he aligns with the majority of the 4x4 scene on the hybrid trucks.
Only time will tell.
Also, Jessie is a great new addition to the team! I've always loved seeing him on screen. Even before he was an official part of the team.
With Jessy now driving a BMW powered Patrol, has he also thought to adopt proper BMW driving habits?
As for EV/hybrids, even just in general, not specifically 4wd, I'm quite on the fence about them. If I would be forced to go for fomething like that, I would go with a Hybrid that charges off the on-board petrol engine. Partly because just like with a normal ICE vehicle 5-10 minutes at the pump when it's low on go-go juice, and you've got full range again.
And partly because of the (perceived?) reasurance that if either motor goes cactus, if something still works, you could potentially still limp it to a mechanic.
And if it's just for on road use, I think a vehicle that alternates between the electric and petrol motors depending on battery charge/power needed/... can be acceptable.
Dad's got a Toyota C-HR hybrid like that since two years, Says if not treated too harsh, he can get 4-liters per 100 out of it on the highway. And that's not holding back on speed. Just consistent driving.
And as the time is coming closer when he'll be able to retire, he's thinking about getting rid of one of our vehicles when it's time. And he already said if he has to pick between the Yota and mom's Peugeot 2008 with just ICE, most likely the Yota is staying.
Only thing that's been wrong with it so far was a rattle in the driver's door, that even the mechanic couldn't find what it was, or why it eventually went away, despite driving the car extensively for a day.
Hybrids are only good for tradies to and from work, not designed for off road or touring. At least not for many years..
Regarding Electric cars the only way to prove their capabilities is to test drive it on the Tele track
The only way to prove their ability to drive the Tele track is to drive the Tele track. But driving the Tele track does not prove tow ability, fuel economy, practicality as a trade vehicle, taking the kids to school.........
People who use their stock standard 4x4 to drive the Tele track are statistically a minority.
Jesse is full commitment to function over fashion! I do the same with my build!
I look forward to you guys doing rigorous and unbiased testing of all the new hybrid utes coming on the market especially the BYD Shark. I was hoping you guys would have had a Aussie media invite to the BYD Shark testing like a couple other RUclips channels.
I mean yeah a PHEV Ute won't be as capable as an old Patrol or Landcruiser. But imagine a Hybrid Ranger and being able to use all that electricity for touring, powering your 12V Setup, without the need to buy additional Lithium Batteries. I mean it could be kinda useful for a normal tourer.
You can always hate on new technology but we have to accept change and make the best of it.
I have a 400+hp Hemi V8 in my truck, so I’m a fan of big trucks with big engines. But boy are the new Toyota 4 cylinder engines getting a ton of good press from their former V8 folks. Better tunes helping people to not miss the extra size I guess.
I think one of the biggest issues with EV's is resale value or new battery. I'm not touching this for years, and lithium is not the answer.
I honestly don’t think you guys should be talking about this stuff. There has been 3.5T towing on 2L engines for years, this thing has a 2.4L and your saying your not sure how they are going to do it? The thing has more power then is boosted by an electric motor again, power isn’t the issue
Here I am over in the U.S. buying up 80s Ford V8s. The last one was a 1984 f250 with a 460. What a gas drinking beast. There's nothing like a factory non catalyst truck.
V8 engines have only really been in the mainstream 4x4 for the last 15 or so years. They arent really that great with 6 cylinder petrol and diesels being perfectly good for the 50 years before hand. Twin turbo V6 will be great.
The first thing you say here is the alternator is an issue. How many episodes have I watched where a Land Cruiser has had it alternator changed? Why do you bash This car so hard? It happens every episode these days. Top selling car in Australia but you guys hate them
I’m no detective but I think Kingchrome is paying JESSE and XXXX dometic castrol and raptor is paying JOCKO
Hybrid Ranger will tow better. It will be heavier than a standard vehicle and the combined torque of a hybrid is superb. Instant torque. Durability is an unknown though. But its called progress people.
I think there's going to be a bit of a boom, then the batteries goes out in 3-5 years and then the old school fuel vehicles will go up in demand because its too expensive to keep the hybrids going.
The government is closing down so many four wheel drive tracks to stop the sale of true 4wd's in Australia.I mean who wants to buy a 4wd if you cant use it. This should be our main concern.
You should hit up Ford to "test" a new Ranger Hybrid with a run to the cape! Remember which vehicle had not problems on your last run to the Cape. It rhymes with Land Rover. KISS
My biggest fears with the hybrids/electric offroading is the fire risk. Its something that could lead you to being just F'ed or even worse starting a large scale Forrest fire. I would have to have a full installed fire suppression system.
The ranger did an alternator, maybe you need to have a spare just like the Landcruisers old and new that do an alternator every time they hit water. You guys have proven that with the Landcruiser.
About time the extra power and torque of the electric motor is a welcomed upgrade, so sick of these under powered slow combustion engines.
The small print- using this hybrid vehicle off-road will void warranty. 😂
Also goes for the standard utes as well, that's just the manufacturers having tight purses as usual
No! The electric motor seats inside the gearbox and replaces both alternator and starter it's much simpler and beefier system! The Prius has been doing that for decades.
Stop with that insane nonsense, that is blatantly false.
4wders aren’t the market or the future for these cars. It’s all for city folk and pure black top use. Absolute shit feeling but sadly we’re a dying breed
EV is not the way! Lithium is horrible, its worse on environment just to manufacture one battery than a diesel in its whole life. Not to mention charging and all that bull.
Reliability will be the major issue with hybrid/electric 4x4. Also capabilities. Will they perform just as good as the 4by's we are so use to 🤔
Is the Ranger an actual off-road bakkie? Maybe the previous gen but the current I think it is not strong enough
Toyota has axed there v8 too so what the hell is the issue? Not bagging Toyota about killing the v8 in the 76 / 79 series.
yeah plugs are a new thing to 4x4ing - really you guys searching for a problem that's already been solved with regular cars
Its 4WD 24-7 no Nissan and Toyota show. So great to see some other motors driving on the show . Absolutely love it.
