It all comes down to the auto and diff gear set, what has the v8 got as far as diff gears ,what are the ratios, put 4:11's in the v8 and it will then win for sure IMHO. ✌👌👍🦘

Same ! Lol
Don't forget the popcorn 🍿
I couldn’t help myself, I had to bloody comment, but I will have a couple of beers🤙
Had the v8 finished when you came back
I'll be doing the same 😎
I own a V8 and i’m not salty at all.. I didn’t buy the bloody thing to drag haha.. as long as the 2.8l carries on the 70 series durability legacy with pride i’m all for it! Thanks for the review
People often forget the 1st Gen Bundera was a 2.4L 4 cylinder diesel. People keep forgetting the past and focus on the present
They're both good. It's just that now the 4 pot is the pick if you're looking at buying a new one.
@mohammadkabli5258 i think it's worth it. Though if you want the 1GR there is an all new automatic option
That’s a sensible comment.

The absolute most thorough and professional toyota landcruiser review on the net. Well done guys very much appreciated.
I had a hi lux with the 2.8 had a constant 700 kg (upgraded suspension) and regular 3ton towing and it didn’t miss a beat
Sold it with 200km for the same money I payed 💪🤔
Still trying to work out why anyone would buy either at this point (for the price) 😳
Actually toyota didnt offer it to people. People bought it from toyota. Most of 70 series bought by government or mining company
Resale value, capability, reliability are why they are extremely popular.
@@aaronrowe6297don’t forget wank factor.
Better off buying a hilux, cheaper car and way more comfortable and refined.
That is a very good point.
Can we see an AU falcon ute with similar weight in the back versus the V8 cruiser
or my 2lt ranger would absolutely smoke it.
Hope we see this soon lol
An XF ute would out drag it.
long story short, Toyota knows what it is doing.
Yep they know how to rip you off. Imagine paying 100k for a landcruiser with a hilux sex change

if only a modular straight 6 version of the 2.8 existed in the 70series as a 240hp variant... then the legend of the 4.2 would continue to eternity. this is and will always be remake of a 90's Prado 70 series...
So many salty V8 owners. Cry is free and VDJunk is a boat anchor.
and a fuel hog. even ECO tuned to the point there more gutless than a 1HZ they eat far to much fuel. got a 105 with a stock 1HZ and it does 12 best ive seen a VDJ do is 15. IMO bring back the 1HD-FTE with modern improvements give us the option to buy it as a create engine and it will sell faster then hotcakes on a cold winter morning.
According to Toyota own words, the 2.8 “equals or exceeds the torque of the 4.5 V8 from 1400-3400rpm”.
That might be difficult for people to understand when they see that the 2.8 peak torque of 500nm is listed as 1600-2800rpm.
But note the word peak. So when it’s not at its peak (under the curve) 500nm at 1600-2800rpm. It may be at 430nm at say 1400rpm, thus equals the peak torque of the V8 and exceeding 1450rpm all the way to 2800rpm.
Also note Toyota state the 2.8 makes 150kW between 3000rpm to 3400rpm. The V8 is strictly at 3400rpm.
Correct.

I'm about to retire and I am retiring with a V8. The young uns can soldier on with the 4 cylinder and the electric version whenever it comes out 😄
Everybody should know by now that the V8 is a very much detuned version of the V8 in the 200 series. It was never meant to be fast but it was meant to be reliable in the mines,(thats one main reason the 70 series still exists) farms etc. in a time when fuel didnt cost $2 or more. Its a farm truck, who cares how fast it is or isnt as long as it gets the job done for a long time.
We'll see how the 4 cylinder goes over time?
It's a Toyota, it'll be fine.
Not that the 1VD was particularly reliable...
@@juliangraziani7299glad someone said it. When the 1vd came out they drank oil and everyone hated on them. Now they’re a classic. 🙄
"Lets see the 4cyl at 200,000kms"
Looks at all the higher km 2016+Hilux and prados on the road still 🤔
Reliable in the mines?!?!?!?? Is that why they're bring in N/A 4.2L Cruisers (yes 1HD's) from India and South Africa to use in the mines... the V8's are dog shit in the mines, trust me from experience...
Well nothing like doubling down on the Landcruiser content and the somewhat salty V8 owners are coming thick and fast to defend their beloved V8 that's more than 13 years old. Now to wait for the next episode of Bench Torque.
If you want a diesel V8 you go to Ford, GMC or Scania, Toyota obviously don't know what they're doing with theirs.
@@jrburger95 From what I understand Toyota will dump the V8 soon and most likely go to the twin turbo V6 that's in the Landcruiser wagon. Toyota isn't going to spend any coin on the V8 that's very clear.

not reliable enough @@bvward
Great job 👍
i think peoples biggest issue with the swap of engine is the reliability of a 4 cyl so highly strung as apposed to a v8 running at 50% duty cycle
Can't be any worse than the V8 killing the injectors, or the oil pan corroding through, or the valley mounted starter failing and spending a day changing it...
Enjoy the drive while the 4cyl runs to 200k, then worry about it after that. 👍

Most of them are white, but we have a few imported LHD 6cyl ones that are Taliban Tan.

Was there anywhere in my original comment where I stated 'I'?
Doesn't change what I posted.
The facts are that nearly every other 1t ute sold in Australia makes the same power, and more torque than the 4.5 V8 with half the fuel usage.
Most of them are also reliable. Toyota has done a good thing to finally move with the times and fit the more sensible engine option.
We don't have any trouble with Hiluxes and Prados in the fleet.
Gonna get some rage on this one, but I'm glad you put it out haha...
And I'd still have the manual V8 even tho it's slower and wastes fuel. Just because.
And there it is, I'd take the 4 pot, but it's a bonus to even have a choice!
We lived in the 79 V8’s in NW WA. Wouldn’t buy the V8 but I’d look at this auto 4cyl.
If people watch this video they might accidentally buy the better vehicle
I am always in awe of what AIC does with those brand new vehicles!
This was a brilliant test and bodes well for the 1GD motor, which after nearly 10 years of production, is proving to be a solid unit that can take power upgrades really well. I reckon it will eventually replace the 1KD as the 4 cylinder GOAT.
the 4cyl GOAT is. and will Always be the isuzu 4jj1 3.0td
@@Tedkelvin I was only talking about Toyotas.
But yes, the J series Isuzus would be probably be the global leader in commercial light truck 4 cylinder diesels.
Did anyone honestly think toyota was naive enough to bring the already contested 70 with the 4cyl to market and not make sure it outperforms the v8. They are doing it because they have to with emissions as we all know, but at the same time they want you to like it so they can continue to sell it to you, hence why the two engines are overlapping so people in order to make the consumer make the decision to go with 4cyl so it can be spun as though that is what the ppl wanted. But regardless im all for it!
Who gets saltier? RX8 owners or LC70 owners? 🤣🤣

@@fullboost😂
Now that I think about it, there’s a lot of parallels here between the Land Cruiser, and the Falcon, and Commodore (and more collectively; Holden).
Sales of Falcon and Commodore were in an ongoing sales slide for a decade or more. When both were finally canned, the common discourse was people raging about how these companies had turned their back on the consumers and brand loyalists, but the more common piece of dialogue was words to the effect of “I’ve still got dad’s 197# Falcon/Torana”, or “I’m still driving my first Falcon/Commodore that I bought in 199#”.
And that was the problem; people weren’t buying the new vehicles, which lead to the ultimate demise of the nameplates.
Toyota slapped the 1VD in the Land Cruiser, and whilst all the LC fanbois talk about how reliable they are because they just keep going, the 1VD club just wax lyrical about the longevity it will have due to the low-stress nature of the motor.
That’s a problem. Reliable vehicles don’t make companies money. They want you to buy a new vehicle every few years. They don’t get anything out of you by selling you a vehicle that will last 20, 30, 40 years.
The V8 could conceivably be kept alive, but if the 1GD does the job, and they last half as long, so you have to buy the vehicle more often, Toyota will make more money out of you.
Reliability doesn’t improve boardroom balance sheets.
As Aus moves towards Euro 6 regs OE's aren't interested in investing in old engines to keep them alive. 👍
V8 Vs L4 Vs an AU ute
Intech would lap Sandown before the Cruisers were out of second gear
Sadly toyota didnt put an auto in the V8 - then it would be something to finally sing about. It is evident the V8 is not long for this world and all those owners waiting for the order books to reopen - if even 50% change their minds and grab a 2.8L, the writting is clearly on the wall for V8. Auto options aftermarket is an option, with Aisin 6 speed and ZF 8 speed - but no change out of $25k.
I would like to see you guys now do a test at GVM and full tow capacity. I’m interested to see is the 4 banga can still hold up. If so I might even buy one haha
Look at the guy on you tube doing it
Last run they added 1100kg to the 4cyl over the stock weight v8 and the 4cyl still won. Lol
I think this video is the last word on the 2.8 tow capability - this guy would know - ruclips.net/video/9h1L9i8ikI0/видео.htmlsi=I72oD1XOZfxi-zCp
This is good to watch being a proud GU 42 Patrol owner ( before anyone takes the piss out of me I’ll admit it’s not real fast and makes a lot of noise but I like it)… anyway , my company Ute is a 2.8 td hilux twin cab with 450k on the clock which I load up and cane the bejesus out of everyday and it just eats it up. In saying that I’ve never owned a 79.
It's great to have choices, imagine if there were no competition!
@@billybunter3753I looked at buying a new 79 in 2009 and the dealer( Southside Brisbane) told me mortgage your house and wait for 8-10 months because the mines and big civil companies are first and I said…see ya champ!
*grabs popcorn* here come the haters!
they both need to work as modified stretched safari vans in East Africa against the stalwart 1HZ Safari Vans... then we make notes
4.3 diff gears and 6 speed. Massive advantage.
The Victorian Naplandcruiser results are in! And almost as useful!!
I find this hilarious, reminds me of the Evo days when you tell a Commodore driver that Evo's will absolutely run rings around there shitty HSV...😅🤣
Had a Evo 10 and it was Shit!
In the 90s V6 Camry's run rings around the hsvs lol.
The 2.8 was an outdated engine in the hilux but now that it is in the 70-series its okay
Happy new year guys, 2504hp RB30 at Summernats today 👍 Maad.
Something to be said for the Modern Diesel Injection System.
25% aprox capacity disadvantage and it still holds up well. Would have been informative to know the boost levels on each, but honestly for abuse level durability and fuel quality considerations the the tell is the fuel system. Complexity is the natural enemy of long term serviceability. Regardless these sell like all vehicles to New vehicle buyers and as long as they get a good run out of them after they are sold on it doesn't really matter. If I was hunting down a new 70 series the 4 would be the one for me. If it was 2040 and I was looking for a a 70?
Nice one Guys.
If only they had something on par with the 1fz in manual! As they leave these for dead even with 650k on the clock!
Cool Ep
Not a V8 owner and I prefer my 1GR-FE. Does anyone know if the internals have been improved on the 1GD In the 70? Conrods, different materials etc. Have they beefed up the components or have they just mapped and regeared a 1GD from a Prado/Hilux and popped it in the 70 ?
Been having a chat to a mate who builds LCs and he is worried about the reliabilty of the 70 with the 4 pot. As the one dude said Toyota EngiNerds know what they're doing so we can only wait and see.
There have been changes to the 1gd motor, mainly with the cooling and oil systems for increased reliability.
The auto tranny has also been beefed up with a bigger oil pan and a few other things
If you slap a 15k supercharger, 3k exhaust and a 2k tune on the mighty boat anchor, it might stand half a chance 😂😂😂
That seems to be the common theme. 😉👍
I think after watching this, anyone with a V8 70 series needs to trade it in for a new 4 cyl, or even better a Mahindra and use the left over cash to take Shazza on a defacto relationship honeymoon to Bali 😊
They all have voided warranty by boosting them up from 3 psi to around 50
Hahaha
@josephkelly4893
Let's see if the 4 pot can reliably get over million km on the stock unopened engine like the V8 can .
We have 90% of the 70 series our mine bought back 2009 still going strong 24/7/ 365.
Quite interesting
Will there be a Fullboost build on one of these?
But but something about boost and final drive ratio.
Seethe more.
I'd be interested in seeing how the F33A + 10 speed auto would go in the 70 series.
It’s not about how fast it is or any other figures for that matter….both vehicles will do what they’re meant to, it’s the sound of the V8 engine that people love…I’ve had 3 of them and love the sound wether stock or with work done they just sound tuff, might be ridiculous but it’s a fact and it’s why the V8 is king and always will be….you simply can not get the right sound out of a 4 cylinder, if you add an aftermarket exhaust that just makes a 4 cylinder sound even worse.
😂😂
Can you order a 2.8 LC with the V8 sound via the stereo from the factory ?? 😂 I'm happy to pay the extra for the stereo because it probably doesn't come standard in the 70 series. 😁
Fullboost, you will never make a 4 cyl cooler than a V8.
I'm wondering if the v8 landcruiser is underpowered because trying to get a diesel v8 to pass the strict emissions regulations is basically impossible if you want it to make a decent amount of power, so has to be heavily restricted. Or, if it just isn't really that good of engine.
I'm guessing it's the first one. But i could be wrong 🤷♂️
I've had this thought and you're probably right. Either way though it's old tech and inefficient, I know what I'd prefer
Nope, that's not it at all. Cylinder count has no impact on emissions.
Well Toyota is allegedly lining up deliveries of V8’s to be done before the end of 2025. The new Euro 6d laws take effect from December 2025.
Kinda sounds like Toyota is aligning the end of the V8 with emissions regulation changes…
Here sir, take some salt for that there wound!
does the 4 cylinder come in hybrid?
So a ranger 3L V6 puts out 600nm and the 2.8 4cyl puts out 500nm. The ranger V6 is making 100nm more with just 200cc, now that’s highly strung.
There are numerous examples of the 2.8 ticking over 500k as these engines have been around for like 13 years now.
The 2.8 came out in 2015. So not quite 13 years ago yet, but going on 10 and if take out the timing chain rattles ( most common fault ) they are a decent motor. Im still yet to see one smash a hole in the piston / crack a piston ( 1kd things ) or any sort of manjor mechanical failure. Only time iv seen it happen is negligence. And even then its a rare sight
By far the worst sounding drag race of all time I was stuck in the boss’s 2016 lc79 on Thursday while the 5cyl bt50 I normally drive was getting serviced haven’t driven one in 6+ years they are even worse driving and sounding then I remember chewed through 60L of fuel to do 360kms on the highway my foot was sore from basically being stuck in the firewall the entire time was very happy to be back in the 5cyl bt50 for the last day of work on Friday I hope it’s another 6+ years before my ass hits a landcruiser seat absolute shit heap
Also have to complain about a 2016 car not having cruise control $90k no cruise control what a joke
The 4 cylinder is filling a gap in the market traditionally the 70s has 2 engine options and it does in Africa but due to emissions requirements we don't get the 6 cylinder in Australia.
Life expectancy of the 4 cylinder is obviously alot lower than the v8 which is completely subjective due to the meat behind the wheel.
Now the v8 boys get to really learn what engine configuration is about haha. Noise.
Wow
I'm no mechanic, but would it be possible, or perhaps the question is - how hard would it be to take the auto gearbox from the 2.8 and stick that into the V8.
After sonmay years in the auction industry (37) i finally dont have a landcruiser as a daily (still have worlds best fj45 tho). Insold my 2020 79 and bought a hilux. Why? To see if I can live with the 2.8 and the auto. Ive had 40,60,80.100,200,300(hatedit) and a variety of 70s. This is my first hilux. I love it and im not sure i need to spend $35,000 difference for a live axle front, higher gvm etc… i guess its all about “fit for purpose”. Time will tell

Year ok I've seen a few videos on the new 4 cylinder 70 series , but what I'm concerned about the V8 and pissie 4 cylinder is long jeperty of the car and motor-running gear it's new and no one can say what it's going to be like in the future .
That’s exactly what owners of 1HZ and 1HD powered Landcruisers said when the V8 was released in 2007. Remember that a new Landcruiser is never as good as the old one.
You mean pissy little V8, since it lost... more like the mighty 4 banger?
It won't take long before the TDI4 outsells the TDV8. the 4cyl seems to outclass the 8cyl in every area other than exhaust note.
Fantastic video. Straight to the point and informative. I also cant say i’m surprised at the results - the V8 jumping off the line is a direct result of the sheer off-idle torque that thing makes. But once rolling, it seems the 4 cylinder takes the take easily.
No, it was a direct result of dropping the clutch and wrecking it! I wouldn't want to buy that thing now!
lol fucking hell
@@billybunter3753 i’d argue that the torque of the V8 off-idle (as stated) is a whole lot higher than the 4 cylinder can muster just due to displacement. Give the 2.8 a manual and it’d be interesting to see how it launches the first 2 metres or so compared. Happy to be proven wrong of course.
@@ubernoob103 Let's be honest here, they didn't launch that thing off idle.

Hahahahah
No one from redneck wonder land will believe this
(Great content!)
So many hurt v8 cruiser feelings.
Having the V8s previously and now the 4cyl. Tunned the V8 had couple more 100nm torque than my 4cyl has with a tune. The 4cyl way better vehicle to own i feel.
Like is said on insta, not to discredit the 2.8 which seems like a welcome improvement however - the V8 is detuned so the ‘farm truck’ doesn’t have similar power to the top of the line 200 series otherwise nobody would buy it. Hence the massive gains from a minor dyno tune It’s like Porsche making the cayman deliberately worse to not hurt 911 sales or skodas being poorly equipped to not compete with VWs etc. Not sure why the v8 wasn't buffed slightly with the facelift though as they could then charge even more for that option, probably dont want to hurt the 300s v6 🤣
and lose your warranty on the motor.
All engines are detuned from the factory so Nana can drive it to the shops then to bowls
If you spent $20000 on both setups in the power plants I’d still put my money on the

It would be interesting to see what figures the 4 cylinder does with a manual or the v8 does with an auto (I know it’s not available).
No excuses for the v8, it’s definitely underwhelming, but I think the auto it probably making most of the difference.
If you put an auto in a v8 it’ll loose more power
@@anthonywhelan8373 modern autos are very efficient. And the very slow gear change in the V8 would be killing so much ET.
In a drag race, a good auto is almost always an advantage.
I don't think it makes as much difference as you think. Look at the in-gear acceleration. Autos are less efficient and on cars that are slow, like this, their advantage isn't really that strong. The 2.8 just pulls harder, whether people like it or not.
@@Hezath they are neck and neck up to the gear change. I genuinely believe the acceleration of the V8 would be improved with the auto.
The 2.8 is definitely a more powerful engine though.
@@vintagetractorsaustralia
Hate to say but I’m definitely right in loosing power

Full manual shift transbrake etc etc
And lost 45hp
Yes the car went faster down the strip but your talking a factory auto slow slush shifts no stall converter
And designed to be as comfortable as possible not smash tyres in the shift and take of as hard as on the transbrake at 3500-4000rpm
The 4cyl is the way to go convincing people is another
All i know is the the hiace van with the 2.8D is awesome, with the ugly brick choc to the brim
Obviously the V8 motor is heavily de-tuned so it can last a long time, this V8 motor was not intended to be a big drag race machine, the LandCruiser is basically a work vehicle not something you track or drag race, this is just meant to be a fun test, also the 4 cylinder is newer so better technology and efficiency, that V8 is nearly two decades old.
151kW/430Nm from the V8 compared to the 2.8L 4cyl 150kW/500Nm
Obviously the 4cyl is highly boosted while the V8 is, as I said heavily de-tuned. 151kW from a 4.5L V8 is ridiculously low but obviously if you want to get more out of it from factory you easily can, and also there is way less stress on the V8 motor compared to the 4, the 4 banger has to work twice as hard to get the power out.
It’s funny when people argue about some slow ass vehicles. 😅
Well I think that went exactly as expected, v8 for me thanks.
Yes the 2.8 is better than the baby 253 v8 or 4.5 not even a 5l remember 😂
I like land Cruiser ❤🎉
So i think the final question is tunability. We all know that in standard form the v8 is very understressed. Time to get them both on a dyno and see what can be done in the way of tune. Not many people who modify them are going to leave the stick tune in a vdj
Yep there is an obvious reason why so many are tuned. 😉
For an understressed motor, they seem to blow up around the 250,000 k mark a bit too often.
Hahaha my 2015 Defender is a snail - but against these it’s actually comparable 🤣🤣🤣
Here come the comments 🧂🧂🧂
Do it all Automatic gearbox
Shows you how shit the v8 is.
Why does it matter buy what make you happy.
The fact that the new 70 series has a 6 speed auto and diff ratio to suit that alone is why the 2.8L 4 would out perform the 4.5L 8 all day long.
asking the big question that every petrol head is wondering
Drag racing farm trucks on bitumen ... what a brilliant idea ... what you will come up next.?
Would be interesting to see how the 4 cylc is after 500ks on the clock and has done halk of it either in 4wd and or towed 3 tonnes on the back. Diesiel engines were made to work and keep ticking over not set labd speed records. The 70 series was built to work and work and guess what work anx that isnt dropping tolhe kids off at private school with a cello in the back. And the only time its put in 4wd is when the mother needs to get over the kerb. And that is when you will see the power of the V8 also the less eletronics and driving aids the better even keep the manual side mirrors.
I guess you had better get used to it as the old V8 is dead with Euro6 emissions around the corner here.
@@fullboost wouldn't be too certain of that. As the V8 Tundra in North America is in high demand and no inclination of that getting dropped. And globally the 70 V8 series has a reputation. If Toyota feel that their reputation is dropping and companies that are the big buyers of the landcrusier start going else where then Toyota will quickly back track which they have been known to do before. So maybe the 2.8 might win the sprint but loose the marathon. I will just keep going with my old girl
It's not the same engine.
They should have put the v6 out of the new landcruiser, not the 2.8.
A Toyota friendly promo.
Dragging with a slow Toyota manual gearbox against an auto is ridiculous.
But V8 big , 4cyl smol, how no v8 beat da smol 4 , v8 more bigger, when camping in broke back mountain boys choose v8 land cruise because v8 means big ding dong v8 get more boys at da bush doof
