Re: Had a new Y62 Patrol for a night
My biggest grip is still the motor. Stick a 20foot caravan on it and watch you fuel tanks be sucked dry like Elvis as attached...
Petrols will never be any good for towing or torque heavy applications... Thus why we need a diesel...
But it does ozze sophistication..

I beg to differ, petrols are great for towing...... theyre just very thirsty that all!!!!! IMO anyone who can afford to by one isn't going to have a problem with affording to keep it fed

Rented one for two weeks when I was in Qatar for work - very very nice, but dont give you the 'tough as a box of nails' feeling the older ones do.
Course it didnt drive like a box of nails either, but you got that 'middle aged spread' thought like the 200 series LC
Isnt the GU still going to be available alongside it?

Had a look at one at Grand Nissan, Morphett Vale. Service guy I talked to had the same opinion regarding petrol consumption. I got the feeling they were not looking to sell a lot of these.

It's a great pic with them side by side ... Can see the height like you've mentioned, but also compare the ground clearance. Look at where the side step is on each of them.
Thanks, Cameron
No Patrol now - Just good memories!

IMO they are just starting to make them like the American caddilac escalades etc, unless you have $$$ to throw away who will buy one and take it serious 4wding. I may be wrong just my opinion.
