We are contemplating upgrading from Nissan 3lTD to a 4WD with more grunt. We've had a great run with the Patrol but the new model doesn't have an auto option (and for those of you who still believe that manual is the ONLY serious option for off-roading we have been convinced otherwise after our Patrol experiences so please keep an op-en mind). We do almost as much off-road as city and open bitumen road driving ( note that we do some serious off-road stuff towing an Ultimate off road campervan). Hence the preference for auto, cruise control and comfort, and fuel economy of TD but with the extra grunt needed for towing.
For off-road we need a second battery (deep cycle) under the bonnet, and we want some real comfort. We are not averse to the price of the Sahara but need to know that it is really tough enough for the rough treatment it will get.
Anyone willing to share their experiences??
