Up grading to something with low range

On a recent Jackaroo club trip a current Pathfinder was left in the camping area due to a lack of ground clearance. Prados and Jacks had no trouble

Hi Steve, go to www.carsales.com.au/isuz/vehicross....that what you need mate. Don't need some $60k Toyota to do the job this thing can do.

Stay Clear of the Pathfinder if you are going to tow a trailer. Having a few problems with the mas damper flywheel on them

G'day Steve

I have just changed over to a 2003 TD Prado after owning 4.2TD Patrols....so far i am very impressed with the Prado....

Cheers.....Dave

Why not have a look at the Mitsubishi Challenger,

Based on tried and proven Triton.

Why buy new? A decent second hand 4wd can be had for a lot less than $60000. Many just use them as shopping trolleys and have had very easy lives. What sort of driving do you want to do?

When we travel in the remote outback we come across Prado's all the time but never a Pathfinder....I think that says it all why they $7000 dearer.

Pathfinder is a toy and a Prado is the real thing.

I recently went through a similar thing trying to decide if I should buy a newer 4*4 or get a older pre loved one.
In the end I went for a high km HJ80 in perfect condition for $7000.
I am a mechanic by trade so fixing something as simple as the old HJ 80 is no problem.
To date other then having the Air Con re gassed I cant fault this vehicle.

I have a problem taking a $60,000 Plus vehicle off road, too scared of damaging it.
