don't have one on mine, it is mainly for towing / heavy loads / sometimes on hills - basically when ever you need to maintin revs without over switching to another gear

Yeah it should allow the car to rev more before it changes gear.

Sorry shaz I gave you the wrong info there. Overdrive is like an extra gear, so when on the freeway your engine would be revving less. Trying getting up to 100km and turning it off, should see your revs jump up. God for towing.

Here ya go mate
overdrive switch
on-for normal driving push the overdrive switch on
with seletor in drive,the transmission will go into
overdrive as you increase speed
off--for driving up hill and long slopes and going down steep hills
and for driving around town
its a whole new experiance 4x4ing but quite enjoyable if you have the owners
manual its all on section 4 page 18

I always take the overdrive off when I am doing under 80km/h I just treat it like 5th gear,when towing my camper trailer I use it once I'm gained enough speed.
Watch this space, as there maybe a comment added soon

Some have the overdrive off for around town But I've found it makes the Patrol more flighty.
Difference at 100kph overdrive on 2200rpm,,,, overdrive off 100kph @ 2700rp
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
