Hi all, before I ask I'm not after a Toyota/Nissan/Mitsi debate. I'm having a discussion here with a mate and the question is : Would say a 4.2 t/d engine either cruiser/patrol outlast say a hilux/navara/mitsi any of the four cylinder t/d's when towing heavy loads say 1.5 to 2 tonne vans/trailers etc. I reckon the 4.2 t/d cruiser/patrols would outlast the others due to them been such a big lumpy motor and not as highly strung as I will put it as the 4 cylinder ones. My mate reckons the four cylinder ones will out last as they are high tech and in general have higher output in power/torque that they are not driven as hard and don't have the boot down as much. Yes I agree with him about the power stakes/torque in the smaller engines compared to some of the bigger ones but Im talking longetivety on the engine.Just wondering what the general consensus is on this. I'm talking t/d's only not petrol and presuming the vehicles have been well serviced all the usual stuff. Regards Steve M
