Hey all,
Im looking at getting a GU Patrol. First time buying a 4wd of any sort so your input would be great!! Im looking at getting anything from 2011 onwards, and would love to know the pros and cons! Fuel Consumption, Towing capacity, How many KMS is a good number. I heard there is a probelm with the Common Rail? Things i should keep my eye out for when looking at the cars. Thanks in advance for anyones input

I have a 2013 Common Rail. I love the space for going away with the family. I tow a heavy off road camper trailer and the patrol struggles on long hill climbs. I would hate to see it towing a heavy caravan. Apart from that it has been great. Very good on fuel. Make sure it has been serviced.
