Toyota Landcruiser V8 Utes, What Revs are they doing at 110kms hr ?

.
Axle, that is just the wind noise as they approach Mach speed. lol

The Landcruiser V8 diesel utes were doing 2600 RPM at 110kmh, up until the MY2017 release, when Toyota revised the gearing in 5th gear (overdrive) to reduce the engine RPM to 2200 RPM at 110kmh.

Landcruiser utes have never been noted for quietness, and most of the owners of them, seem to like them making a lot of noise - particularly the V8 burble!

The reduced engine noise level has only accentuated the wind noise caused by the boxy cabin shape, the 1960's-shaped exterior mirrors, and the snorkel.

The Landcruiser ute has suffered from a lot of design deficiencies since the introduction of the V8 diesel - and it's all to do with Toyota's incredible stupidity of "don't change any more in the design, than we absolutely have to".

There's a rumour the new 2019 model has been sighted with a widened rear axle - at long last! - plus a 6 speed transmission.

Now all Toyota have to do, is shift the position of the V8 starter motor (so it doesn't go rusty in a pool of water in the V of the block - and shift it so it doesn't entail removing the fuel injection plumbing to get it out!) - and shift the position of the alternator, so it doesn't fill with water after traversing deep puddles!

Depending which gearbox they have, probably around 2300rpm. The newer ones run about 200rpm lower than those produced pre 2016 ish. The ones with the DPF tend to make a tinnier noise I reckon which might be mistaken for higher revs when mixed with wind and road noise etc. My 76 sits on exactly 2000rpm at 100kph in 5th. I have the new gearbox now. The old one was 2200rpm under the same conditions.

A new 70 will sit at around 2180 RPM at 110kmph.

How may RPM would the Defender theoretically be doing if it could get to 110?

Axle,
All v8 engines at same revs have twice as many power pulses, firings, exhaust blurts as a 4 cyl does at same revs. Of course they sound busy, there is twice as much happening in the same time.

I have a 2014 79 series work ute,
at 110km rpm is 2680 at 130km 3150rpm according to my scanguage II.
