About three days after we finished filming this epic duel, Nissan confirmed it would soon offer a bunch of upgrades on the Patrol Warrior in Australia, including a cool box, bigger central touch-screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, not to mention a wireless phone charger. It adds $3000 to the price. Check out the updates here: www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/2024-nissan-patrol-to-receive-long-awaited-infotainment-upgrade-145362/
Also, at 7:45 we mention the head up display in the Toyota has sharp visuals but they look blurry - that's because the camera couldn't focus on the windscreen data properly. So while it looks munted in the footage, it's actually really crisp and clear in real life.
I'm a hardcore land cruiser guy, but the Patrol gives it some serious competition. I'd respect both, and if offered one over the other, I'd absolutely take it. Both are amazing vehicles, and have their own advantages, so it's hard to choose.
Got my TI-L delivered last Sep. Only use it to tow my caravan. Absolutely love it. Pushing 160K onroad cost for the GR Sport. Even after I spent 18k on my mods (180Kg GVM upgrade, airbags, RASLARR front bar, Stedi EVO’s, slimline 100Ah lithium under floor battery, DASH false floor, GME, ARB twin compressor, woodgrain delete, etc, I’m still 40K better off. I have a mate that’s having his GR Sport being built right now, ordered it 19 months ago. I only waited 7 months for my Y62. No brainer for me.
$10k on the Patrol would get you full digital dash, modern infotainment screen and a front locker basically removing all the shortcomings except fuel cost. Id take the patrol.
Dont even need the front locker in the patrol as the traction control is still active up front even when rear locker has been engaged, unlike most other 4wd's eg prado, hilux where when you hit the rear locker the TC up front isnt active which basically means its only the rear locker pushing you through
@@jerrymyahzcatI’d call winning the Dakar multiple times in a row heritage. Along with winning Le Mans multiple times in a row heritage. Cool thing Nissan did but what are they doing now!
@@kaidenchetty4572 I wouldn’t call those things winning Dakar or or Le Mans heritage. I’d just call that achievement. Nissan don’t do much let’s be honest. But Toyota aren’t any better.
Patrol is bloody awesome. I don't trust Toyota anymore sorry guy's. Have owned Toyota and Nissan all my life and the Nissan's have proven to be better and safer. Got the TI-L Y62 and absolutely love it and wouldn't pick anything else
Got to agree with you there mate, bought the last of the 4.2 litre Patrols in 2006, did a touch over 1 million kms in it before I sold it, had a 200 series LC and had a turbo fail, transmission problems, cracked chassis just to name a few things, parts and service from Toyota cost me a fortune. They are overpriced and overrated.

People who have a problem with Toyota charging almost 150K for the cruiser are the same people who are okay with land rover charging the same for a defender. The consistency is non-existent. I mean you have the right to buy what you want and can afford.
These are the same people who moan about the Patrols interior even though it's actually very comfortable and well made, and then claim the 70 series is 'value for money'. Dropping 150k on the LC over 105 for the Y62 is a more money than brain cells decision.
@@mwat22 plenty of unreliable Toyotas out there too mate. The thing is if you buy a defender or a discovery you don’t need suspension upgrades, transmission upgrades, the traction control is the best in the business and they don’t drive like a latex mattress.
I bought a 2023 Y62 TI L, changed the rubbish screen for middle east version and had woodgrain updated to black. Saved $10s of thousands over LC300. I worked out it would take 20 years of extra fuel cost in the Nissan to get to start price of Toyota... no brainer. Nissan.
Nissan all day. Bullet proof platform, 25k cheaper and just looks better 👌🏼 Admittedly, interior, mainly the dash couldn’t with an upgrade.. coming apparently…
Can’t wait for the Y63. The new Infinity QX80 looks very good. Much better than the LX600. Engine same family as the GT-R engine (from their own words) which is bombproof but with 15 years of technological advancement. I’m sure they’ve learned a thing or two to improve it even further. The transmission is also the 9-speed from the G-wagon but slightly reworked by JATCO who are licensed to do so by Mercedes. Knowing the Japanese they made it even more durable seeing as the Patrol/QX80 is their halo model.
@@Ezone_X Yes. Also, a huge plus is the boot space. You know, a vital part in an off-road long distance vehicle. If you opt for 7-seater in both the LX600 or QX80 (or, 8-seater; double three-row, which is also a option in the QX80), the QX80 boot is much bigger. And just overall much more luxurious. They absolutely nailed it. The Patrol have also arguably always been the better off-roader than the Landcruiser series. And to top it all off, it´s cheaper.
A poor man pays twice. 8.9 v 14.4lts, resale value, after service and parts available, better safety and far far superior tech? The $45k gap is easily closed when added up properly.
The first thing you do with the LC300 is lift it & put on better wheels & tires. This makes it even more expensive but will remove the short comings you mentioned. It's a nice place to sit. If you look around there are now GR sports available stock around in some dealers. They wont be cheap though...
I’ve had my Y62 for 10 years, one of 15 4WDs I’ve owned. Nissan aren’t as well put together as a Toyota. Love the V8 which is why I keep repairing the 62.
It would be great for the WARRIOR to have a sales rep in the US to send those mods over for sale and service this side of the pond. Shame the US market on ly has the LX600 but who can afford those nowadays. Great review.
the centre one only locks the front and rear axles for 'off road'. When unlocked, this allows 'on road' 4WD. You have all wheel drive with three open diffs. The Patrol will also have a centre locking differential of sorts as well as its rear locking 'axle' differential.
I have a Ti Y62 series 5 and the towing capability is incredible.. i tow my camper trailer all over QLD like a kite in the back.. most times i get carried away and i forget I'm towing something.. team Patrol! 💯💪🏾
In spite of being a Toyota fan, I just can't justify the price difference . And the rumbling V8 is evidently a more pleasant thing to have under a hood. But I am surprised that my old-school opinions and likse are similar to the authors.
Just a question, seen it wasn't the top trim of the Nissan shown here but it was of the LC seen it was the GR trim. Is it really the best consumer comparison seen the price range is so massive ? I mean how many people will buy the GR LC compared to the more regular trims of the LC 300. I'm just curious
Last night I was literally thinking about what if someone compared these two… legendary comparison Would be worth mentioning that the updated warrior has a new infotainment system with Apple car play, android auto, it also has a cool box and wireless charger
I was talking to a chap yesterday who uses his 300 Landcruiser to tow a 3.5 ton caravan and he thought that his old 200 was more stable and a better overall tow vehicle. The 300 was more economical but wasnt dropping back gears under load well. In short it wasnt quite what he expected.
Your statements about the Landcruiser and Snowy scheme are incorrect. Land Rovers did the hard work before the Toyota arrived - and it didn't even have low range.
Yes the Land Cruiser did not have low range, and even later when they did have low range it was still not suitable for the mountainous terrain due to its 34 degree side roll over angle compared to the Land Rovers 45, so the construction stage of the build was done by Land Rovers, and the managers drove a couple of Land Cruisers on the paved road.
what - not Tank500? Trifecta V8petrol vs V6TD vs 4Hybrid great ground clearance (rear locker) vs good ground clearance (twinlocked) vs mediocre ground clearance (twinlocked) 75k vs 100k+ vs 140k+
Yeah these two models have a pedigree that goes back to the 1950s and 1960s, and they have a rivalry that's as old as hills. But we've tested Tank against Toyota Prado - check it out: ua-cam.com/video/fwZ3o0YjdJ0/v-deo.html
This is an honest review so that we, the general public, can choose which one is suitable for the general public. Unlike other UA-camrs, he is fanatical about one brand so that other brands are considered bad and very stupid to the public.
There are a couple of choices I don’t get with the Patrol. First is the side exit pipes. The may look and sound cool but for an off-road vehicle they are in a terrible spot for damage. Maybe it was dictated by the larger spare wheel and redesigned tow bar? The other thing is that they haven’t upgraded the GVM with the new suspension. As a touring vehicle the payload will be an issue for most. This can be upgraded by changing the suspension and getting it re-engineered but what a lost opportunity not to do this while re-doing the suspension for this model. So for many people, the new Premcar suspension will need to be replaced anyway. And yes, before anyone comments, the GVM comments apply equally to the Landcruiser. It just stands out more for the Nissan because they fitted a post factory suspension upgrade to it but still left this problem in place.
I have no bias when it comes to Toyota v Nissan, I actually love both, the interior of the Toyota is way better in my opinion, plus having front lockers is a bonus. But the extra ground clearance on the Nissan and that V8 sound is just awesome. $45K buys a lot of accessories including front lockers. The lux extras the Toyota has a nice, like the heated/cool seats but they aren’t deal breakers. Both very capable 4x4’s but price difference for me wins in the end.
front locker not needed in the Patrol as the traction control still functions with the rear locker selected. Just different systems, you will get better manoeuvrability with an unlocked front
Whilst everyone argues over which is best I will just say, if I had the money I would just buy one of each lol. I like them both, they are both cool rigs…let’s just all agree on that yeah 👍
At almost $50k cheaper, you could add a supercharger plus a aftermarket carplay dash interior to the Y62 and still have plenty left over for more 4x4 mods or funds to compensate the extra fuel it uses for yearssss. Both are excellent 4wd tourers but you definitely get more value with the Patrol
Toy-mota "We have set the price at 150k"..... "is it worth that?".... Toy-mota "No, but there are plenty of idiots in Australia that will pay what we tell too, if we can get 90K for a 79 series..."
@@craigdavid6668 Very true, because I spent 100K cash on machinery for my workshop, you're welcome to come past and have a look if you like, you might like my lathe!
Warrior V8 for the win on epic 2 inch lift and plate on the front . never get Toyota because too expensive for a V8 Warrior V8 is a good price for V8 (Toyota $148,000 Nissan $101,000) Nissan is a good price
It´s the Japanese way of doing things. The engine is heavily detuned for reliabilty/abuse and to meet emissions for the future as well as still being more than enough to do the job. There is a strong possibility we´ll see a hybrid LC300/LX600 at some point in the near future as Toyota wants the LX700H denomination to be trademarked, hence downsizing to V6. Ferrari, McLaren etc are all following suit. They have no choice. If Toyota wanted to, they could easily make a V8 that would blow the competition away. They have more money than all the other car manufacturers and alot of history in racing motorsport, rally, dakar endurance, le mans, super gt, gt300, gt500, super formula, formula 1 etc. They had the most powerful V10 engine in Formula 1 with over 1000hp. They are in literally everything. Toyota know what they are doing.
@@lukewarm2075 2. things to point out. 1. These engines were assembled in the USA and not in Japan. The ones in Japan did have these issues and engine recalls as far as I know and Toyota has long ago already started to fix this. Which, again speaks volumes about Toyota 2. The engine we are talking about is the VR35, twin turbo 3.4 or 3.5 if you will, V6. The 3.3 diesel, which the Australian market gets does not have this problem.
@@Seaslayeradventue makes sense. I am regretting not buying it mainly for bigger size. May be next time. But in Russia we can through away the DPF and reprogram the computer :) Diesel is a good option imo, cheaper, higher torque at low RPMs, fire safety
@@Foguete400 yes I like diesel engines also but the modern diesel’s are to problematic and complex the y62 patrol ticks all the boxes for me Reliable, powerful, capable , comfortable, and looks good but every new vehicle has it flaws at least the patrol is better value for money
@@marcusgeorge1825 We've just added an update, pinned it to the top of the comments. Patrols will soon get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a $3000 price increase.
He talks about Patrol burning fuel at an alarming rate but fails to mention that the new Landcruiser new engine has a serious flaw which is an engine oil consumption problem...just look at the 6 month service intervals...
Landcruiser deserves a full tuned GR Landcruiser with 3.4 twin turbo petrol V6 and lightweight body than a GR Sport with the same old 3.3 twin-turbo diesel V6.
With much respect; Yes that’s true and there is a strong love for patrol, but Nissan shafted Australian. Left us with a 12 year old car and went to the American market and didn’t re invest in the Aussies that stood by Nissan. Now Nissan pics is lowest grade car and does a lift and wants to still carry our market with a 10 year old trim. That’s why I’d say you would have to be drunk just to support Nissan with their lack of respect for Aussies. And their poor excuse for a ‘upgrade’. You could easily buy a higher spec model and do the same or much better Nissan. I mean exhaust on the side but still out the rear? This car is a patchwork of crap. And thirsty crap for your money.
I struggle to understand that a supposed car reviewer fails to mention that the Landcruiser has 5 different on road modes of suspension settings, which also changes the mapping and throttle response. The comments made regarding the “boat” feeling would be eliminated if you just took the time to understand that it has different driving modes…. •5 drive mode select - Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport S and Sport S+ • Adaptive Variable Suspension which changes everything with just the dial on the dash….However, you fail to say what you were driving in, ECO I presume… Maybe you can get somebody to assist you from actual owners before you “pretend “ to know what you are driving which indicates a biased review, or at the very least, uneducated. Your review is like comparing a 1990’s V8 commodore thirsty petrol ( premium 98 octane) but forgot to mention that point, to a modern day V6 twin turbo Diesel BMW. They are the same but totally different.
Im a toyota fan, in fact i drive a Hilux and Fortuner, the only downside for me for Toyota LC300 except for the price is the SIZE, its kinda SMALL and cramp interior space vs the old Y62 Patrol, infact the MIDSIZE Ford Everest got longer wheelbase vs the LC300 which is categorize as "Full size/Upper" size SUV. it is small and short to be in full size suv, even in the midsize Toyota Fortuner vs Nissan TERRA, Toyota is always smaller in outer and interior size
They just did a recall in US for 100k cars Toyota, Lexus, tundra they don't have a fix yet but metal shavings were left in the engine during manufacturing I wonder if the Australian engine is the same 😮

Let's wait for the 2025 Nissan patrol soon to be released
@@latupeni9797yes it’ll probably be less expensive and better equipped than the Warrior that is a financial mistake.
This dude was paid by Nissan. How is an old Patrol better than an all new Land Cruiser.
V8 sound adds to the driving experience. Patrol for the win.
Our Australian friends are missing out on the updated Patrol interior we have at the Gulf countries. It greatly improves the Patrol's interior.
Australia has developed its own updated infotainment system which is being fitted to all new Y62 Patrols from next month.
Serious offroaders don't care about interiors.
I'm a hardcore land cruiser guy, but the Patrol gives it some serious competition. I'd respect both, and if offered one over the other, I'd absolutely take it. Both are amazing vehicles, and have their own advantages, so it's hard to choose.
both are very respectful OFF ROAD vehicles, I personally use Nissan TITAN and infiniti QX80, for last 13 years they are amazing.
Got my TI-L delivered last Sep. Only use it to tow my caravan. Absolutely love it. Pushing 160K onroad cost for the GR Sport.

$10k on the Patrol would get you full digital dash, modern infotainment screen and a front locker basically removing all the shortcomings except fuel cost. Id take the patrol.
They've just bought an update that adds most of that stuff, adds about $3000 to the price in the Australian marketplace.
@carsales do the upgrades get the interior of the patrol on par with the interior offered in the gulf countries?
Dont even need the front locker in the patrol as the traction control is still active up front even when rear locker has been engaged, unlike most other 4wd's eg prado, hilux where when you hit the rear locker the TC up front isnt active which basically means its only the rear locker pushing you through

V8petrol vs V6TD vs 4Hybrid
great ground clearance (rear locker) vs good ground clearance (twinlocked) vs mediocre ground clearance (twinlocked)
75k vs 100k+ vs 140k+
Land Cruiser & Nissan are Legendary Machines and Tank as a brand Copies Legendary cars 🤡 they copied Wrangler,Lc200 and Bronco
Yeah these two models have a pedigree that goes back to the 1950s and 1960s, and they have a rivalry that's as old as hills. But we've tested Tank against Toyota Prado - check it out: ua-cam.com/video/fwZ3o0YjdJ0/v-deo.html
whats the tanks tow capacity ?? wouldnt be 3.5T like these two
This is an honest review so that we, the general public, can choose which one is suitable for the general public. Unlike other UA-camrs, he is fanatical about one brand so that other brands are considered bad and very stupid to the public.
$1800 to add Apple car play /Abdroid Auto to existing screen in Nissan....Anyway I bought the Warrior before the V8s are gone for ever...
Pick mine up, in a weeks time. Get them for just over 100k drive away...bargain 🚗
The Y63 Nissan Patrol was launched this September (2024) and now has 700 N.m (V6, no V8).
There are a couple of choices I don’t get with the Patrol. First is the side exit pipes. The may look and sound cool but for an off-road vehicle they are in a terrible spot for damage. Maybe it was dictated by the larger spare wheel and redesigned tow bar? The other thing is that they haven’t upgraded the GVM with the new suspension. As a touring vehicle the payload will be an issue for most. This can be upgraded by changing the suspension and getting it re-engineered but what a lost opportunity not to do this while re-doing the suspension for this model. So for many people, the new Premcar suspension will need to be replaced anyway. And yes, before anyone comments, the GVM comments apply equally to the Landcruiser. It just stands out more for the Nissan because they fitted a post factory suspension upgrade to it but still left this problem in place.
I thought drones are illegal in Triglav National Park...? 🤔i
I have no bias when it comes to Toyota v Nissan, I actually love both, the interior of the Toyota is way better in my opinion, plus having front lockers is a bonus. But the extra ground clearance on the Nissan and that V8 sound is just awesome. $45K buys a lot of accessories including front lockers. The lux extras the Toyota has a nice, like the heated/cool seats but they aren’t deal breakers. Both very capable 4x4’s but price difference for me wins in the end.
front locker not needed in the Patrol as the traction control still functions with the rear locker selected. Just different systems, you will get better manoeuvrability with an unlocked front
Both a great SUV . But personal i will choose the Nissan patrol because it's engine ❤
It's an incredible engine and especially with the bi-modal exhaust and side exit pipes. The roar!
Whilst everyone argues over which is best I will just say, if I had the money I would just buy one of each lol.
I like them both, they are both cool rigs…let’s just all agree on that yeah 👍
I love the GR-S front grille the most !
At almost $50k cheaper, you could add a supercharger plus a aftermarket carplay dash interior to the Y62 and still have plenty left over for more 4x4 mods or funds to compensate the extra fuel it uses for yearssss. Both are excellent 4wd tourers but you definitely get more value with the Patrol
I'd wait for the v6 twin turbo patrol coming up.
Yeah, it could be a weapon.
the problem is that NISSAN don't have a diesel engine in this Y62
Why is it a problem? It’s only a problem if you think a 4WD must be a diesel.
Problem is the Toyota doesn’t have the Nissan engine.
Toy-mota "We have set the price at 150k"..... "is it worth that?".... Toy-mota "No, but there are plenty of idiots in Australia that will pay what we tell too, if we can get 90K for a 79 series..."
Don’t be cut up just because you don’t have the cash for one😂
@@craigdavid6668 Very true, because I spent 100K cash on machinery for my workshop, you're welcome to come past and have a look if you like, you might like my lathe!
Warrior V8 for the win on epic 2 inch lift and plate on the front . never get Toyota because too expensive for a V8
Warrior V8 is a good price for V8 (Toyota $148,000 Nissan $101,000) Nissan is a good price
Yeah imagine that extra 40k can upgrade warrior? Supercharged, lift kit, tuning and off-road tyres
What a beast she'll be
One day I will own the gr sport
I don’t get your obsession with the V6 in the 300. It’s horribly unrefined compared to a European V6 diesel.
It´s the Japanese way of doing things. The engine is heavily detuned for reliabilty/abuse and to meet emissions for the future as well as still being more than enough to do the job. There is a strong possibility we´ll see a hybrid LC300/LX600 at some point in the near future as Toyota wants the LX700H denomination to be trademarked, hence downsizing to V6. Ferrari, McLaren etc are all following suit. They have no choice.
If Toyota wanted to, they could easily make a V8 that would blow the competition away. They have more money than all the other car manufacturers and alot of history in racing motorsport, rally, dakar endurance, le mans, super gt, gt300, gt500, super formula, formula 1 etc. They had the most powerful V10 engine in Formula 1 with over 1000hp. They are in literally everything. Toyota know what they are doing.
@@GT3.00yeah 100k recall in US metal in engine no fix yet😮
@@lukewarm2075 2. things to point out.
1. These engines were assembled in the USA and not in Japan. The ones in Japan did have these issues and engine recalls as far as I know and Toyota has long ago already started to fix this. Which, again speaks volumes about Toyota
2. The engine we are talking about is the VR35, twin turbo 3.4 or 3.5 if you will, V6. The 3.3 diesel, which the Australian market gets does not have this problem.
Im a Toyota fan but got the warrior and its just so much better than the 200 and 300 series landcrusier so glad I made the switch
what is better exactly?
Reliable engine , no DPF , more capable off road and fantastic in the sand , much larger vehicle and very comfortable
@@Seaslayeradventue makes sense. I am regretting not buying it mainly for bigger size. May be next time. But in Russia we can through away the DPF and reprogram the computer :) Diesel is a good option imo, cheaper, higher torque at low RPMs, fire safety
@@Foguete400 yes I like diesel engines also but the modern diesel’s are to problematic and complex the y62 patrol ticks all the boxes for me Reliable, powerful, capable , comfortable, and looks good
but every new vehicle has it flaws at least the patrol is better value for money
Not having Apple Car play is a deal breaker in 2024.
It has carplay now
@@scottcovo which one? Im talking about the Patrol as I know my previous gen V8 diesel top spec Landcruiser doesn’t have apple CarPlay.
@@marcusgeorge1825 We've just added an update, pinned it to the top of the comments. Patrols will soon get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a $3000 price increase.
Work out the neutral numbers. D vs P
only in Australia the y62 petrol interior is this dated
He talks about Patrol burning fuel at an alarming rate but fails to mention that the new Landcruiser new engine has a serious flaw which is an engine oil consumption problem...just look at the 6 month service intervals...
I was thinking of buying one but I don't like those silly doors, think I'll just get a 2004 civic instead
I’m a Landcruiser tragic (had a Patrol in the past) but I would still have a Patrol for that V8 power. Hey, I’d have either or both if I could!
My hq Holden Ute gos anywhere I want it too
Landcruiser deserves a full tuned GR Landcruiser with 3.4 twin turbo petrol V6 and lightweight body than a GR Sport with the same old 3.3 twin-turbo diesel V6.
Toyota Australia has always said it might offer the petrol in the LandCruiser. That would be pretty epic, no doubt.
Why don’t Australia get the petrol? Always wondered. Google seems to give mixed answers
Waiting for the 1950's comments "But you can't buy petrol in the desert" or "But my diesel will do 1 million km"
I think the GWM will be taking over the market, it will take a while for the resales to catch up
patrol❤❤❤💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😊❤😊Nissan patrol warrior excellent for off road 😊❤😊
You have to be drunk to pick the patrol y62.
Toyota sells more LandCruiser's in Australia than Nissan does Patrols, but the gap is closing so there's clearly a lot of love for the Patrol still.
With much respect; Yes that’s true and there is a strong love for patrol, but Nissan shafted Australian. Left us with a 12 year old car and went to the American market and didn’t re invest in the Aussies that stood by Nissan. Now Nissan pics is lowest grade car and does a lift and wants to still carry our market with a 10 year old trim. That’s why I’d say you would have to be drunk just to support Nissan with their lack of respect for Aussies. And their poor excuse for a ‘upgrade’. You could easily buy a higher spec model and do the same or much better Nissan. I mean exhaust on the side but still out the rear? This car is a patchwork of crap. And thirsty crap for your money.
The Patrol will drink with you. It’s an incredible machine!
@@megadush but I’d prefer the Patrol shouted
TOYOTA KILLS NISSAN ON RESALE. Renault/Nissannis going broke 😂
neither float my boat, but that V8 sounds sweet.
I struggle to understand that a supposed car reviewer fails to mention that the Landcruiser has 5 different on road modes of suspension settings, which also changes the mapping and throttle response.
The comments made regarding the “boat” feeling would be eliminated if you just took the time to understand that it has different driving modes….
•5 drive mode select - Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport S and Sport S+
• Adaptive Variable Suspension which changes everything with just the dial on the dash….However, you fail to say what you were driving in, ECO I presume…
Maybe you can get somebody to assist you from actual owners before you “pretend “ to know what you are driving which indicates a biased review, or at the very least, uneducated.
Your review is like comparing a 1990’s V8 commodore thirsty petrol ( premium 98 octane) but forgot to mention that point, to a modern day V6 twin turbo Diesel BMW.
They are the same but totally different.
Awh, cute you get so upset.
See how old is Y62 and not still can competes that new LC but also beats it 😄👌🏽
No doubt, it is the best larg suv today.
The Toyota fuel economy number is a bit generous 🤣 Many tests have shown while towing the Y62 wins the economy test.
Im a toyota fan, in fact i drive a Hilux and Fortuner, the only downside for me for Toyota LC300 except for the price is the SIZE, its kinda SMALL and cramp interior space vs the old Y62 Patrol, infact the MIDSIZE Ford Everest got longer wheelbase vs the LC300 which is categorize as "Full size/Upper" size SUV. it is small and short to be in full size suv, even in the midsize Toyota Fortuner vs Nissan TERRA, Toyota is always smaller in outer and interior size
For me there is no comparison.
Diesel everytime.
Why
Great demonstration mate, well, is only one problem, the bleeding steering wheels are on the wrong side of the vehicle! 👏🏽 👍🏼☺
Though I drive a landcruiser prado , i would recommend nissan patrol
Landcruiser service intervals at 6 months!!!!....is that a misprint. Hilarious in this modern age!
I really hope the cruiser doesn't share the same motor the US toyota tundra has, that motor is having some big problems over there.
They just did a recall in US for 100k cars Toyota, Lexus, tundra they don't have a fix yet but metal shavings were left in the engine during manufacturing I wonder if the Australian engine is the same 😮
@@lukewarm2075 I wonder too
24 has wireless and new infotainment. 👍
