Comrades,
Greetings. After much research, test drove Patrol on the weekend and am very keen to pull the trigger.
Kids went nuts mainly because of leather seats I think (we have cloth in the Prado GXL). Yes, I know, ... forgive me...
Interestingly, the charming bloke in sales said as soon as I pay deposit I'll only have to wait 6months to cough up grand total of near enough to $85,000 - for Ti with zero options.
We have large family and a boat so more space and grunt will be handy.
Price of Patrol and every other large 4WD seems to have gone up about $10000 in last 12 months.
Is there any advice about buying a new one? What are people actually paying?
Other question, if that's OK, would be about a rod holder. (We do a bit of beach fishing so 13foot surf rods and driving from gutter to gutter)
Is there some way of mounting a rod holder other than putting it on a $2500 bull bar?!!
Rodlok used to make a magnetic one but they seem to have vanished.
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers 👍
