I drove both of them .. the patrol y61 with a td42 na is more torquey than LC105 with 1Hz engine .. the patrol has better front and rear axle and beefier Transmission and Transfercase than the LC (front diff seal often going bad and the gear oil mixes with the grease from the knuckle) .however the TD42 from nissan suffer overheating issues at 200k kms due to cyl 6 running hotter than the rest and cheap quality headgasket material. I feel like Land Cruiser gets over Hyped by their fan and the Patrol get severely under rated . LC parts get crazy expensive while you put both vehicles they doing the same can take the same amount of abuse with just regular maintenance. LC is thirsty on gas tan the Patrol . If you did a 7 hours off road with the LC i had the lower back pain the same day took me 3 days to recover . 4 months later after a hurricane i did the same trip on a patrol Y61 with td42 i did remember having back pain . All of that to say Patrol is a solid competitor. NISSAN do know how to build quality SUV.
Nissan patrol is awesome. But it's not a Toyota. I'll take the cruiser any day.
Love the all Nissan patrol
Nissan patrol for me, but i definitely would not say no to the cruiser
Oil pressure gauge.
Land cruiser all day long, stronger market when I sell it

And patrol doesn’t like front Locker i’ve seen many of them of front diff broken after installing a E Lock. That’s one of the downside😊
By they way in off-roading y60 better than lc80. In fact, the front and rear axeles in the y60 are stronger than the lc80
