hello, my name is volts, and i live in the philippines. came across this very informative
forum while searching for some tips on buying the right 4WD for my needs, which are:
1. towing a small flatbed trailer filled with produce.
2. traversing flooded and *very* rough roads.
3. fuel-efficient diesel for those long drives to the market in the city capital
since i live in a tropical country, with lots of rainfall, my perfect 4WD would have to do a lot of mud plowing. currently i'm evaluating a few imports (my guess is that they are from australia and NZ), although i can't seem to make up my mind on which is the best. i'd want a 4WD that could last a LONG time (since i envy some old timers here who still drive their 70's era landcruisers and love em). my choices are (quite limited based on finances):
1. prado EX
2. pajero '96
3. patrol '96
also, could someone point me to some sites which list known problems with the above vehicles.
your input would sure help me a lot. thanks in advance!
mabuhay!
