WHY I DRIVE A TOYOTA 4WD | StoryTIME with Andrew St Pierre White

My relationship with Toyota spans 20 years, from 1994 when I wrote my second book, to 2014 when Toyota South Africa finally handed over the keys of the Land Cruiser Troop Carrier. That was in South Africa and the conclusion of that and many projects. Since that time I have had no connection or link with Toyota in any country. But I look back on it as one of the best experiences of my professional career. And it moved me from being solely interested in Land Rovers, to a life driving all kinds of 4WD. And, I have to admit, why I now drive a Toyota Land Cruiser. This is that story.

As a Toyota Prado Series 90 driver, I must say this is an utterly underrated vehicle. Definitely not as tough as a well maintained Series 80, but easier to drive and maintain. Definitely a badass too. Tougher than the later Series 120 and 150 for sure. In fact, the later versions had the D4d 163cv engine that combined good fuel economy and reliability; a class on her own for sure.

I can relate. I grew up in a die hard Ford family. On a wim I bought a 1980 Hilux, and it's steam rolled since then and I'm a die hard Toyota guy.

@farmerlister3863 6 лет назад

Andrew, '12 hilux owner myself, I wanna say I have watched all your vids twice +. I also own prado 120. And I used to have Pajero as a company car. I hope to get my hands on 70 series eventually but those come rare and tremendously expensive where I live. In any case, 5 + years with hilux, fully built and didn't have to change a "bulb".

@jeepbruno 6 лет назад

Andrew, I would like to share my experience with the 105 series. I have one with the 1FZ-FE engine (which is an excellent engine), but the fuel consumption is not that good as you said. My best average was 13.5L per 100km (7.4km per liter in Brazil's most used scale). That was before the front bumper with the winch, the snorkel and the roof rack. Now, I usually got between 18 and 16 in the city, and something about 15 and 16 at the road. Despite the fuel consumption the car is just spectacular. My next upgrade will be the diesel engine swap, most likely the MWM 6.07 Sprint (I belive that some Ford F250 in South Africa came with that engine). Here in Brazil the Land Cruiser - exept the Prado - are extremely rare vehicles, that's one of the reasons I will not sell my car and buy another one with the 1HZ. Thaks for sharing the video with your experience. Greetings from Brazil.

@roblogie1667 6 лет назад

The immobiliser failure is a well known issue on 1HZ 'cruisers in Australia as they age. The cheapest fix is to bypass the immobiliser when they fail... which I had done on my HZJ105 when it happened to me ... (The only people in Australia who drive Landrovers are ex Pat Poms or South Africans who do not know any better :) :) )

I don't care for many people whatsoever. I tend to be a tad difficult I suppose; which is why I'm glad Andrew isn't a cult leader or I'd be completely smitten. I could listen to this man for hours on end. I am a dedicated student. I can't wait to take his Masterclass. I've been blabbering on for 5 years about taking on a documentary type film. I have found both the inspiration and confidence to do that because of this man. Very few have the talent and skill to teach craft. Bravo, ASW!

@PhotoColin 6 лет назад

Your stories are always so fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to chat about your experiences with these various companies. If you were based in the US would you still opt for one of Toyota's models (Tacoma, 4Runner, Land Cruiser)? Or would you seek a different model from a different manufacture? Thanks!

@4xoverland 6 лет назад

Very good question. I am not loyal to Toyota more than I think that they make some very good cars and trucks, fit for my purposes. But in the US, I fancy some of the Dodge products. The Ford 150 Raptor looks brilliant. One thing is certain. I would not automatically head for the Toyota showroom as my first choice.

@xamesm 6 лет назад

For some reason they seem to be very slow offering diesel in mid-size trucks, and I think the 2019 Tacoma was just announced with petrol only? The zr2 looks interesting...

Thanks again Mr White. It was watching you and Mr Dahl for the last few years that helped me decide on my vehicle. I have a 20 year old Prado that I purchased for an awesome price, and in the couple of years I've had it, it has never let me down. Have been to north Wales several times fartarsing about, and a long trip in the Pyrenees which was fantastic. It's just passed its MOT today with a couple of advisories, a great truck :-) Thank you again for all of your videos, I love them. Just a shame I'm stuck in Blighty with all its restrictions. Best of luck to you, keep them coming. Cheers

thank you Andrew, I agree Toyota has a lot of great people, The US arm has the same issues the true enthusiast's are not there in the corporate structure any more. Just wish they would sell the 70 series in the US, but our crazy government won't allow it.

@d1sturb3d119 6 лет назад

Its all regulation issues. I'd love to have a D4d. Loved the one I had back home. Have a V8 GX470 now. Gas guzzler but the DNA is still alive. The enthusiasts are around but they're being stifled by the bean counters. TRD's on top of that hold their value so even in the used market, the trucks are extremely expensive. Worth it but expensive.

@MichaelRCarlson 6 лет назад

See how many enthusiasts are left once we have self driving cars. I'm truly dreading the day.

@d1sturb3d119 6 лет назад

Why? Self driving cars have their place to get rid of shitty drivers. My understanding is that in order to improve transport you will have sections of freeway where only self driving vehicle are allowed so there can be an increase in speed and no variances in driving. Enthusiasts can still drive. Just not in certain areas. We'll all be better for the fact that it'll be safer

@mattmattmatt131313 6 лет назад

You'll see the day when they come for your keys too. First the freeway lanes, then some lanes in the city(like with buses), then they'll close the city centers off,... All enthusiast vehicles will become very specialized, very niche and therefore too expensive for most ordinary people. No more +200hp $25k hothatchbacks based on your moms grocery-getter car made in their millions,... In the end they'll just ban human driven vehicles out of existence from public roads...Better start building your own race track today.

@d1sturb3d119 6 лет назад

You're certainly not wrong. There are quite a few cities that want to do that. Sadly they do not have the infrastructure or vision to cope and would rather ban than solve. That is going to be truly sad. For the most part though Self driving cars still can't cope with inclement weather. There's still some hope but who knows. Personally I don't think all driving will go away but there will definitely be non human areas for sure

@matthewshambler2644 5 лет назад

Fantastic story, thank you for sharing. As far as your fuel consumption to George and back, my 2 cents worth having had a similar situation with a modified Volkswagen- cruising at 140km/h and above, you are in a rev range where the engine can make use of the flowed head, modified camshaft profile etc. and actually “breathe”. The increased power and subsequent improved efficiency require less throttle to do the same amount of “work”.

@nickgood8166 6 лет назад

I remember as co-founded the Land Cruiser club back in SA, Andrew having a minor forum spat with me when I pointed out that Land Rovers were excessively 'interesting, this was around 2003-2004'. His later run in with Mitsubishi over his unbridled honesty, was perhaps karma. Glad to see he's come around to the Toyota for overland travel. Anyway, Andrew's doing good work in the Antipodes and I rarely disagree with his advice and perspective. BF Goodrich appears to be a reasonable sponsor and are - arguably with Coopers - THE go to 4x4 tyre.

@dimitristsagdis7340 6 лет назад

What do you think about 4x4 overland-type camper vans; e.g. a Merc Spinter, VW Crafter or their smaller cousins like the Toyota proACE, VW transporter. They seem to be pretty capable (obviously not as your Toyota) but for a family of four they appear more convenient for conservative off roading. After all you are carrying your family and your house :-) There are some impressive conversions out there. Maybe you can pass some comment. Carry on the good work.

@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen 6 лет назад

Another great story. I love my Plastic Fantastic (90 series), it is pretty, comfortable and has good off-road performance but it can't fill the hole in my heart left by my old HJ60. There are some 4x4s that just scream 'off road vehicle' The old Land Rovers are one and the Tojo 60 series is another.

Left a lasting impression on me.

Miss my 90 series prado very underated 4wdrives my first car was a 92 2.4lt petrol 4runner that thing could not be killed and trust me the tourcher i put it through it went to hell and back then i bought the 96 prado 3.4lt v6 for the family that thing took us on many adventures over the last 6 years during that time i sold the 4runner and bought a 2012 3lt td hilux that was pretty much my dream car ive never had any issues with it what so ever ive now upgraded the 90's prado to the 120 series 3lt td prado and that thing blows me away on and off road im looking forward to the adventures that will take me and my family on ive only owned toyotas and i put my 100% trust in them to take me and my family where we want to go

@plonkster 6 лет назад

The 1KZTE engine was a good engine, but comparatively speaking it had a few more issues, mostly head issues, broken valve guides, that sort of thing. It was a somewhat old design too, indirect injection. But Toyota tends to do things like that... keep older designs around for a long time and "properly" develop it :-) Somerset West huh... That's my home town.

@TheM275 6 лет назад

plonkster people hate in petrols, however would rather have the 1GRFE V6 anyday. Not much more fuel than the 1KZ and a shitload more power.

@Mp57navy 5 лет назад

The fuel consumption of the 105 makes perfect sense. My '97 Cruiser (1KZ-T engine with an Intercooler added in front of the radiator and a chiptune) drinks 18 liters on 100km below 95 km/h, and 11-13 above it. I have to be in Overdrive and keep the revs below 2000 to achieve that.

@BubblesTheCat1 3 года назад

I'm also a diesel mechanic. There was no need to jack up and turn the wheel. .. After removing the glow plugs, you could just swing the motor over with the starter, and all water would have been ejected much quicker. The motor wouldn't start of course, as without glow plugs, there's no compression. Mind you, you were lucky you could get them out, as they can get pretty stuck, and break off. Then you're also stuck, as their hollow. Again no compression.

@kourtsmyth3266 6 лет назад

Ha Andrew why didn't you tell the world about that 105 fuel hack??? It took me a year to find out that if i kept it over 2200 revs i got good fuel consumption. Also you know how you had footage of you working on the 105 in this vblog - which video of yours is that from? The 105 club here in Aus would love to see it. Many thanks and great work.

@scumpert 6 лет назад

@chadalcock7275 6 лет назад

Listening to Andrew makes me wish I could get back to Australia for a visit, and wish we could get those rigs in the states. A friend has a Hilux that he got from Belgium while stationed in Germany.

Andrew, I have a 2013 FJ Cruiser with 150000km on it. The V6 petrol is wonderful, I have it serviced by the book. The 2014 new Prado interests me but I think sanity will prevail and I will keep on towing the caravan with it. It’s a toyota it will give a lot more km’s.

@andreslite2213 3 года назад

I've only had Daihatsu 4x4's for 30 years. Toyota had 1/3 of the company's shares until 1999...from then on it became a subsidiary of Toyota. Main Daihatsu real offroaders were the early F-20's Taft petrol with Toyota 12R 1600cc engine and, F-50/55 diesel with Daihatsu 2.5l and 2.8 l engines. Around 1983 came the Rocky/Fourtrack/Rugger with Toyota 3Y and 4y petrol engines, Daihatsu 2.8l Diesel engines including turbodiesels and in swb and lwb and other versions. A special and beautiful Rocky F-300 was developed mainly for US market and an Italian designer renamed the Rocky Bertone Freeclimber installing 3 types of BMW engines for the luxury European market. The other classic is the sporty Feroza with a Daihatsu 1.6 l 16 valve engines. All of them tough and reliable, which is what is needed when overlanding or heading to the wilderness. The Terios models are more of a soft offroader sold in some countries as Toyota Rush. Cheers and hope you check out this amazing and underrated japanese quality brand.

@bongojago 3 года назад

My first toyota my first car, was a SA import Hilux 1.8 petrol with column shift. I loved it. My next was a Hilux Surf 3l diesel ... loved it. My next was a lamdcruiser Colorado 3 l diesel. Great car. Next I got an Landcruiser 100 GX 4.2 l diesel. Adored it. Got a Hilux king cab 3l diesel and loved that also. Then I got a 2016 Landcruiser Prado 2.8 l ... I hated it. Exchanged her for a brand new 2019 Hilux 2.4l diesel. My last toyota. Now I drive a 2016 Defender 2.5 l diesel 110. Uncomfortable and quirky. But the inner child emerged in me and I am delighted with it. I went with my heart instead of my head this time.

It would seem your Toyota dealership that ruined your relationship with the brand have taught SEAT dealerships in the UK. They’re all polite, kind and want to kiss your arse when buying a vehicle but come to the service or warranty work and oh my god, they are shit. Uncooperative, unprofessional, unkind and unwilling. When my lease runs out I’m shot of them. Bloody hopeless. Fantastic video as always Andrew. Kind regards to Gwynn. Stay safe and well. Greetings from Cumbria in the UK.

One of which is a 120 Prado with 923 000 km's on the clock! I just know what you're talking about. I know! They truly are special. Indestructible, amazingly well put together, rugged, utterly capable and unstoppable machines. Nothing else comes near the level of a Land Cruiser. Nothing!

Another great video about interesting subjects; off roading, camping and trucks. Thanks Andrew. You're a very good story teller. Powerwagon 2018

Ive owned a lot of landcruisers , but i prefer my landrover by a country mile ,the landy just has something the toyotas dont ...

@philipbutoyi4151 6 лет назад

Man I love your stories, in Northern Kenya landcruisers are the final word in longevity and ruggedness. They rarely break down and they go just about anywhere you can point them.

Toyota don't need you to help them sell a commercial vehicle that the masses don't have an interest in... however, imagine if they gave you a 200 series or the new 300 series.

Australian say if you want to go in the bush get a land rover but if you want to come back home get a TOYOTA land cruiser

@pietskiet8763 5 лет назад

Traitor ! hahaaa We all grew up with Landies , loved them , but when it comes to everyday abusive usage , in areas where your vehicle is the link between life and death , and getting someone to a airstrip or hospital on time , use a Toyota!

@tonyt3428 3 года назад

So the question is was it the OEM alarm/ immobilizer or aftermarket? Toyotas are reliable end of story.

You've missed the 80 series... I'd love to see what you do with one of those. Although they are getting old now.

I’ve owned a 1995 HZJ80 series GX for the last 13 years, it’s my daily drive and I just love it, on asphalt and regular weekend off-roading in the mountains, Cruiser grin every day. And BTW, the troopy you sold in the UK came to visit me in România this August, along with 4 other 80s from the UK. I was mightily impressed with the troopy camper conversion, excellent work and the truck is in good hands and still going strong. A little plug please for the landcruiserclub.net forum, the friendliest forum on the inter-web... :)

New isuzu Mux coming to SA soon (outsells fortuner in Australia). I am unashamedly an isuzu fan boy, and I think that new mux is going to be a fantastic offroader. Will hope to see what you think when it eventually lands ;)

My diesel engine doesn't have glow plugs. Bugger! Better get that snorkel.

It’s a shame we don’t get the 79 series land cruiser in the UK as the land Rover defender is not available anymore

I'm new to your channel, I have never owned a 4x4 but I do want one. I have a great live for Toyota after having owned a Celica GT gen 6 and a GT-Four, both were awesome. I have researched LR Defender 2's but put off by their issues, I only considered one because they are cheap. I would love a Tundra but they're US only, Hilux's cost the earth and Landcruisers do nothing to the gallon, so what's a guy to do? I could listen to your stories for days on end, you tell them so well! Maybe in should move to wherever you live so I can hear more in person over a long cool drink with you, that'd be very nice in deed.

@4wdadventureoz 6 лет назад

Thanks for the insight in your relationship with Toyota, and your Troopy builds are THE best.

@watahead91 2 года назад

worse idea to do river crossings without a snorkel mate pretty rookie mistake , the suv doesnt even have a lift kit as well.

@stendecstretcher4983 6 лет назад

I have no doubt that the mods you have done are legal and safe. In contrast Police in QLD are now prosecuting dodgy mods to 4x4s. Unwary owners have been caught out and heavily fined.

A little bit 'long winded', but I still enjoyed it😉 lol... Seriously though, I do enjoy your channel and your stories...they seem so real and mostly unbiased, which is fantastic!...cheers mate and keep it coming!
