This is something that I've also been thinking about for a while. So I started researching van, and family bunk vans with ensuites gross in at around 2.4-2.6T give or take. It was then that I discovered my beloved CRD auto was only good for 2.5T. Bummer, this could really limit our choice of vans, plus I hate with a passion running things to maximum capacity. So I needed a bigger towing capacity.
Given that the Patrol still ticks all the other boxes, I stuck with it. It also meant that I cound transfer all my mods over and continue on. Plus they sound good with a 3" exhaust :-)
