A little while back The Citizen Motoring told you about this military-grade six-wheel gedoente called the Armormax TAC-6 Toyota Land Cruiser 79 we spent a weekend cruising around the suburbs in.
It is a lightly-armoured, heavily-armed, yet extremely agile and versatile military combat machine that can get you in and out of any almost combat situation. Well, my combat mission was to first go play in the dirt with the TAC-6. And then head off to Gerotek to do some data testing to see what the power upgrades have done for this Toyota Land Cruiser 79.
The standard 4.5-litre V8 turbodiesel produces 151kW and 430Nm and must lug around 2.3 tons of Land Cruiser. But once the Armormax boys are finished with the TAC-6, this Toyota Land Cruiser must lug around a full 3.1 tons of standard vehicle weight. That is even before you load it with a few rocket launchers and stuff.
Six-wheel Toyota Land Cruiser gets power bum b The standard power was never going to be enough. Armormax upgraded the software and a did a few other tweaks and now the TAC-6 pushes out a much-improved 192kW of power and a full 710Nm of torque.
