I don't think a patrol can be compared to a landcrab
IF ITS NOT BROKEN IT MUST BE A PATROL
I'll stick to my old skool muscle car GQ
Maybe when I'm old and grey I might downgrade to one of those newer soccer mums cars

Interestingly, I went on a Desert drive on Friday with a long term Lexus LX570 driver who happened to be driving the Y62 on the day. (He's seriously capable on sand).Originally Posted by healy
I could see that he was having a lot of fun with it (Nissan UAE lent it to him for the event). I took the opportunity to ask him what he thought of it.
He was quite impressed and said that it was way more powerful than the Lexus, seemed to handle wel and was also quite luxurious.

as someone in the thinking of an upgrade in the next few years, thanks for that Cuppa
the more I am reading about the Y62 the more it seems to stand out as a good all round Tow / Play vehicle

I drive A LC 200 for work sometimes.....I like them..if I wasn't such a Nissan patrol freak I reckon that'd be what I would get.....fuel economy towing a nearly 3 tonne van at 120 still sitting around or under 12lt/100km..
Watch this space, as there maybe a comment added soon
blah blah blah blah blah
swap motors you would increase sales and have a freight train sitting the Garage.
wonder if the 200 motor will fit a GU ?? HHHMMmmmmm
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Don't think so. My mate's been down this road. Wanted to fit a D4D V8 from a 76 series to his GU. Physical / clearance issues from memory.
I think the 200s have the same engine, except it's twin turbo and much more beefier? Someone correct me here if I'm wrong I don't know toyotas much .
2005 TD42TI
Interesting how price listed is for a base GX LC and top of line Ti'L Patrol. Looks like another bias article
