Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series 2024 review: New 2.8L auto Workmate cab chassis tested in off-road test

The 2024 Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series has had a change of heart – literally. While the 4.5-litre turbo-diesel V8 (and its five-speed manual gearbox) is still being built, such is its popularity that new orders cannot be placed as the Japanese brand works through its backlog. Which leads us to the new but familiar 2.8-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder (and its six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission) that has just burst onto the scene. Despite being half of the size of its popular sibling, the new engine actually offers substantially more maximum torque (+70Nm) alongside similar peak power. Point being, it offers significantly better bang for your buck, even if it can't measure up to the sentimental value of the bent eight. So, in this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Marcus Craft puts the new LandCruiser 70 Series' Workmate cab chassis through its paces in an off-road test. #Toyota #LandCruiser #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:35 Pricing and features 01:27 Design 02:18 Practicality 02:57 Under the bonnet 03:52 Driving 09:29 Efficiency 10:10 Safety 10:38 Ownership 10:52 Verdict -- Read Marcus' full review: https://bit.ly/4a2QPpp Check out our LandCruiser 70 Series hub: https://bit.ly/3uNyVbo Find more Utes: https://bit.ly/3jUamEO Visit our Adventure Guide: https://bit.ly/3n6sBrP -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel:    / carsguide   Like our Facebook page:   / carsguide.australia   Follow our Instagram profile:   / carsguideaus   Follow our TikTok profile:   / carsguide.com.au   Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our LinkedIn page:   / carsguide-com-au
