    The 3500kg GVM across the 70 series range sounds like the 76 series wagon will have a load carrying capacity of over 1 tonne.

    Yep. It makes a nice change for the usual Toyota appliances very low legal factory load carrying ability. I see some of the new rangers are 1000kg or so and over load capacity (whether I would touch a ranger with a barge pole...well that might be a different question). A Triton is 900kg for most models with a full tank of fuel before the load capacity is calculated (some makes say quater tank). Cheers

    I wonder if there are flow on changes to rate the 76 to 3500, such as bigger brakes, in addition to autonomous braking.

    The several after market brake upgrade options indicate an upgrade is wanted.

    In my experience, the brakes are very undesirable, they really need an upgrade. If you try to stop in a hurry, you won't.

    Toyota Landcruiser 79 Series

    If they do an rotor upgrade the 17” wheels might be needed. But nothing in the article about that so prob not.

    Being Toyota they will do the bare minimum but sales will no doubt out strip supply,apparently it’s a two year wait for a 79.

    No mention of fixing the track difference either,no surprise.

    If it was that much of an advantage other vehicles would be the same.

    I will be surprised if the 76 has the GVM increase,but it will need to,or be ADR85 compliant.

    So in actual fact the vehicles won’t be any safer,they will just be modified to get around the new safety rules,it seems.

    Ozscott, why wouldn't you touch a Ranger with a barge pole?

    I stepped out of 8 yrs of nightmare Land Rover ownership and into 8yrs (in July) of Ford Ranger ownership ....almost a Defender 130 without the nvh, physical discomforts and reliability problems which undeniably, whether you like it or not , keep appearing on this forum.

    The Ranger has not had one maintenance issue yet.

    My brother in law is a highly experienced multi dealership service manager and will not have a Land Rover product in his dealership , based on previous experience and Land Rover support.

    Don't want to sound like a bitch , but this is cold hard facts.....you started.

    We bought a work Ranger recently with, at extra cost,Heavy Duty suspension.
    The HD spring models were the only ones available,unless we wanted to wait six months.
    Mine spec they said,which I don’t believe,just salesman’s hype.

    Once loaded it didn’t appear to be HD.Took it to the spring guy and he laughed.He has seen heaps of them the same.Same number of leaves,same thickness as standard springs.

    We then queried Ford on the issue and they were very quick to give us a credit,or have HD springs fitted by a local spring shop.

    So seems they are still up to their tricks,I wouldn’t trust them with anything.

    Anyway,the vehicle isn’t too bad,time will tell if it is as good as the Tojo’s we have had for years that have been rediculously reliable.
