Just a couple of thoughts Twandy. Yes the Cruiser is a beauty as you put it. It's far superior to the Nissan, although they're OK but just a generation behind. If you're serious about off roading diesel is the best choice and gas is at the other end (I guess that means worst!). Petrol is OK but in that size vehicle the consumption is such that your range is limited with petrol and even more so with gas.

I currently own a GU Patrol, 100 Series 4.5 petrol Cruiser , a 100 Series TD Cruiser and several others and yes the TD is worth every cent extra. The TD has several mods which makes the car just awsom. Spend $3,000.00 extra and you will have over 200kw at the fly wheel, (Dtronics unit, 3" exhaust, small turbo bust and twik the injection on the dyno). The front and rear air lockers also help.
Another mate has just bought a V8 and claims to get 15lts/100 on the highway, not bad considering The TD gets 14lts/100.
By the way I picked up a new Suzuki XL7on Friday, the very first of the new model in Australia to be delivered and so far am very impressed.

P.S. In relation to the extra cost of a cruiser I have alway said you own a Landcruiser because you can.

mick,
There must be a new Prado diesal that I dont know of because 185kw is about the same as the Patrol 4.8lt. petrol, I am sure Toyota would want to tell the world.

Mate, at LPG1 they are putting computerised gas injection on cruisers, fully computer controlled like the motor its going onto, more power than petrol.
Aslong as you have a sat phone and NRMA plus, your laughing!
I heard that gas is going to be taxed at thesame rates as petrol in the near future, was it in the last budget? (Might put a dampner on the cost of running the v8)
When you say Nissan, was it the 6 or 4 diesel? (the 6 would be my choice if i towed).
Suggest b4 u buy, togo to the nearest servo and look for the oil stain on the ground, go stand in it and grab the nozzle of the diesel bowser. Get back in to your 4b and drive around a bit, but be forwarned, the pedals will get slippery and the diesel on your hand will be under your armpit even though you wiped it off with paper at the servo. This is the only negitive for the diesel, if you can live with that, get the Nissan, the 100 has IFS and needs the difflocks to keep up with a std Nissan in the bush.
