Purchase recommendation used 4wd Hilux vs Patrol

Hello community,

after the success of my last purchase recommendation thread I am hoping for some more support, since the vehicle that I decided for fell through inspection :-(

---Option A---
2008 Hilux KUN26R SR
105.000km
4 speed Automatic
Extras: 3" lift kit, ARB bull bar
Price: 23.500-24.000

---Option B---
2007 Nissan Patrol GU4 DX
80.000km
4 speed Automatic
Extras: Nissan Kit with Bullbar incl rail, side steps, Tigerz electric winch with rope and a Nissan snorkel, full Tigerz Roof rack with Foxwing Awning, Roof console, Narva HID lights and light bars, OME 2" lift suspension, cooper A/T tyres plus small tow bar
> No "grenade" problems according to owner and also no kit fitted against it
Negotiated price: 26.000$

I know they are very different vehicles (ute vs wagon). I am a bit worried about the automatic transmissions on both vehicles with only 4 gears... testdriving the Hilux the auto transmission seemed rather slow and I would be worried with it offroading. I can't remember if the Nissan was the same though. Is this really a problem or am I just too worried.

Another question is whether the Hilux engine and the Prado engine are the same? 1KD-FTV ... because it seems to me they share the same engine code, but differ in the output.

Anyways I am thankful for any opinions, help and advice.

Cheers

Phil
