What is the best Patrol on the market?

[Bigrig]

Let me put it this way .. a heavily modified anything (Cruiser, Jeep, Suziki, Hilux, etc, etc) will go just as far (and some further) than a patrol in varying circumstances. Reality is, most of us don't push our trucks to this extreme. So for me, it comes back to personal preference based on looks, reliability, practicality, function, ease of parts access/maintenance, cost, lifestyle, etc..

The MK/MQ ticked all those boxes for me personally years ago, the GQ and GU (I've owned multiple of both) tick them all now ...

Don't much care for the current GU/GQ debate, as I had two GU's and they were every bit as tough as the current GQ - but once I tipped a $50000 truck on its side doing what I want to do (lifestyle) I simply couldn't justify damaging such a nice vehicle (cost and practicality) so elected to go back to a cheaper GQ ...

No matter what happened, I was sticking with a Patrol - my family (father, two brothers and myself) have had 10 between us of different flavours (only one brother who's now a skirt and now drives a Prado - old boy and eldest brother still in Patrols!! lol).

Personal choice and personal opinion, however one thing I know is absolute fact across any of the model variants - without them, none of us would be here yapping about it and we would've missed out on the chance to meet such awesome like minded people who are rapidly becoming a solid group of "mates from different states"!!!

Now .... was that flowery enough for everyone??!! lol

Oh and by the way ...


GO THE GQ's!!!!!!!!!! LMFAO!!!!!
