Love ur comment Paul, I find that the only thing I don't like in a GQ compared 2 the GU is the Dash, would love 2 have the GU dash in my GQ

They have the same gearboxes but the extra power of the GU motors showed up a weakness in 5th gear!

Shouldn't you be working?

Tony

I have a GU but to be honest if fitted out they will both go anywhere!!!!

Im not getting into whether a gq or a gu is better basically if it aint got a td42 it aint worth sh!t

I think it doesn't really matter what is the best patrol because Patrol's are the best no matter what!! If it wasn't for our like of Patrol's this forum wouldn't exist!!!

I would appriciate all of your opinions

Economy is always an issue but as far as "even better offroad capability" you've got the best start already. the only thing thats gonna beat the patrol off road is a customised patrol. Just add Mud tyres, Lift, adjustable shocks, lockers both end and a winch. You wont find a better offroad vehicle.
