I never really liked Rangers but I would consider this model for work. It would mean I would be legal with an extra cab, tools, compressor and 24V battery kit and still have some towing capacity on a normal sized ute without the extra expense of gvm modifications or drive a bouncy(Isuzu NPS or Fuso 4x4).
This will be a LC79 killer. There is a rumours kicking around in some LC groups that Toyota is going to stoped taking orders and production of LC70 will stop or be significantly reduced in September for nine months. It is difficult to confirm and there is all sorts of speculation that there may be some major changes to LC70 but it is only unsubstantiated rumours at the moment. Maybe LC70 is coming to an end.
Well it is the old Defender of the Toyota range.
You just need to find mist eyed idiots that want to buy an outdated design, with flaws, at an inflated price. I mean, come on, who in their right mind would spend their hard earned money on something likeWell it is the old Defender of the Toyota range.
Maybe some misty rusty eyed old billionaire will try to buy the tooling?

Ford Ranger Super Duty
Takes some of the features of the F series out of the US it looks like. Took a few tricks from the Grenadier re customization. It is targeting the Toyota LC 79 series.
Toyota may actually have to make some real improvements to the 79 Series as this is a serious assault on the 79 by Ford - if Ford can address some of its reliability issues.
Not a Ronny video, but probably does not deserve its own thread. The new Ford Super Duty Ranger. I do like the manual DPF regeneration.

RANGER SUPER DUTY – FIRST LOOK
Pat gets up close and personal with the biggest 4X4 launch of the decade, the purpose built Ranger Super Duty, is it as special as they reckon?mr4x4.com.au
Also Smart hitch, 400W inverter, vinyl floors, bash plates, front recovery points, room for 2 aux batteries, 250A amp alternator, device mount on the dash, etc Ford is working with ARB, MITS Alloy and Safari Snorkels and others for aftermarket gear (and you keep your warranty). Ford is saying over 130 companies have the technical specs, so there maybe quite a few accessories when it goes live in 2026. Limited images of the interior of the car.
There are cab chassis and tub variants. So expect some fancy MITS Alloy canopies.

Early days the engine for the Euro market was a p.o.s but they seemed to improve it with major changes to the engine crank when it went into the US market for F150. The rods and crank where forged. For some reason the 2.7l version they used in the Ford Territory in Australia very rarely had the same crank issues as LR.
The L/R Discovery 3 is a heavier and harder working vehicle, that may the reason the 2.7 was O.K. in the Ford Territory, forged crank and rods will have to help the V6 in its current form, but the fact that Ford V6 was designed so that it could be transversely mounted, thus necessitating a squat design and consequently narrow crank bearings, and the lubrication problems that go with the narrow bearings.
