As the title says I'm thinking of buying a new Patrol , I have prices on a 200-GXL and a VX Landcruisers but I had a look at a couple of Patrols today , there seem to be a lot more bang for your buck with a Patrol and these new CRD motors with DPF's sure seem to have a few problems
I will have a look around and a read of info on the forum , I guess the big thing is one is Diesel and the other Petrol , anyone have some real world fuel consumption numbers
I have a Isuzu Dmax extra cab , tray atm , towing a Tvan . We have just returned from a trip of about 11.5K to the Gulf , Lorella Springs the Dmax is very economical , I like to travel at about 100kph , plus maybe a couple more , same speed as Trucks / Road trains they don't have to overtake me and I rarely need to round them up , driving at 85/90 to save fuel that's not me .
I do a lot of High Country trips
I would have to rethink the way I carry all my junk with a wagon , where do I put the smelly stuff , chain saw , fuel ect . its easy with a tray .
anyway I would like some real info from owners , good / bad .
