My parents are currently driving their 7th Patrol The one they have now is a turbo diesel and they're happy with it. Prior to this one, all have been duel fuel with gas/ulp. Bought this one to tow a 25ft caravan around the country for a 2 year trip.

They've also owned 2 pathfinders and mum loved them, the smaller size made them easier and less truck like to drive, but they still had some grunt.

We had a joke with friends years ago when I was a teenager. They had an old land cruiser, we had the older patrol (square looking one). Their friends got bogged trying to pull a boat out of a lake. So the landcruiser went in to pull them out. And struggled and then got bogged too. So the patrol had to step up - and pulled a boat, ute and landcruiser all out of the mud. Before that happened, the friends always told my parents to get the landcruiser. After that, it was never mentioned again
