AutoExec Summary
The updated Toyota 70-Series, renowned for its rugged reliability since its inception in 1955, now features a 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine alongside the soon-to-be-discontinued V8. This new model, priced at nearly $85k, offers an automatic transmission option and lightweight benefits, enhancing its off-road capabilities and payload capacity. However, it retains its outdated cabin design, uncomfortable seating, and lack of modern amenities, such as a reverse camera. Fuel consumption is comparable between the new four-cylinder and the V8. Despite these shortcomings, the 70-Series remains a top choice for off-road enthusiasts and fleet operators. Competitors include the Jeep Gladiator and Ram 1500.
