landcruiser choice

Is a patrol 8 a diesel ????????since when????????

No, the poor Patrol is the 3 ltr turbo deisel really shouldn't be towing the heavy Bushtracker over mountains and real hard going stuff (pulls it a breeze on normal tracks), so my husband is dreaming of F250s and V8 Cruisers. We have some fiercely protective LC owners here - so thought they might know. The fight seems to be between LCs & Nissans - the Ford owners are very polite.

landcruiser do an intercooled td 4.2 or 4.4?l v8 petrol. Nissan also do an intercooled 4.2d as well as the 3.0 litre. I n petrol they do the 4.8
anything with a petrol would be a dissapointment to you economywise after the 3.0l with some astonishing consumption figure achievable both t and n while heavy towing. We have an f350 at work and it is ok but they dont really have the get up and go you might expect (still pretty good) and a very narrow powerband as soon as they hit the powerband they are out of revs almost and changing gears is a major chore. Maybe autos are better

Thanks Davoe - Yes, found the specificaitons for Petrol v8 but disappointed no diesel v8. We prefer diesel too. The Patrol is thirsty pulling the heavy caravan. Did you get your new job? Motherhen

M H dunno about the job yet. I thought I was sposed to hear last week but apparantly it is this week sounded promising though. I organised housemate on the weekend so it is all in readyness for me to live out on camp. Thre camp which is nearly finished is really nicely situated in the bush on a hill overlooking saltlakes - grand vista well goldfields style anyway
