Y62 Patrol vs LC200 Comparo

[the evil twin]

That article is a very old one now.

However, dunno that much has changed apart from a handy drop in petrol prices.

Don't think so. My mate's been down this road. Wanted to fit a D4D V8 from a 76 series to his GU. Physical / clearance issues from memory.
I think the 200s have the same engine, except it's twin turbo and much more beefier? Someone correct me here if I'm wrong I don't know toyotas much .

yes you are correct the 70s all have a single turbo and different tune ,
whereas the 200s has the Bi or twin turbo


Cheapest 200s being the GXTD V8 is $78,165 plus orc
top of the range Y62 being the Ti-L is $114,490 plus orc
Thats a lot of petrol tickets

Again, why go bottom 200 and top Y62?

You can get the patrol so much cheaper than that.

Anyway cheapest Y62 being the ST-L is $82,690 plus orc.
still a big difference

What the comparison should have had them doing, is comparing them where they can be compared. Both of the vehicles seem directly aimed at the old grey nomad market. So, a comparison should be using the top of the line models from both. Here's the tests:

Towing at 3,500kg
Parking in a shopping centre
Fuel consumption at 80km/h
Resale value after 5 years
And a test to see what happens after being washed 3 times a week for 5 years.

Todays prices from a steeler without any haggling - over the phone. Ti-L $76.9k ST-L $60.8 and plenty of stock and choice of colours and all 2013 make with 2015 plate
Now do your comparisons!!!

Interesting how price listed is for a base GX LC and top of line Ti'L Patrol. Looks like another bias article

well what would you do if the price of the ti-l is the same as this gx that they compared

to those uniformed ppl that say petrol v8s are thirsty :P
i avg 14 lt per 100 around town. i went offroad and avg 18-100 floggin it on the beach. Yes it can get higher depending on how u drive it.
but 400 ponies doesnt work hard to move the big girl.
I have vids and pics of my rig goin offroad etc on fb. Aussie Patrol Y62
Oh and @ $61k onroad for an ST-L (equivalent to GXL) for a much better drive u do the math.
