Patrol or Navara?

What are you expecting the car to do for you? Tow, 4WD or just drive to work?

This is a very general question. How 'used'.. how old?

There a plenty of people driving both and happy with them.

I have no direct experience.

Why limit yourself to those two though? Consider more widely and you will have a lot more options. Work through all second hand 4wds...

PS... Toyotas are most popular for a reason...

I should have added that I will be retiring early next year and our intention is to buy a caravan and travel.

Prado is the way to go, huge fuel tanks, very economical, beautiful to drive. Let us know what you decide on.

A 2nd hand 4.2 TD Patrol will do the job.

Cheers

MMMMnnnnnnn doesn't that say something!!

would not touch a Navara at all let alone to tow with
Patrol 3l still explode to much

Triton 3.2 and Rodeo 3L best towing choice

It depends on your needs, how heavy your van is etc, we have a patrol on Gas, gives it a bit more power and slightly better on Diesel. We have a 24' van with a tinny and boat loader on Patrol, so have a heavy load, My husband has done his homework, The patrol is great for heavy towing, we were interested in the navara as well but wouldnt take the weight of everything.
Good luck
