Please remember this is a Bull**** threat to keep it out of individual members threads.

We all have our alliance to vehicle / camper trailer manufactures and so be it.

Instead of telling us why the others are so bad, why don't you tell us why your's is so good..... 8)



Well, we keep getting told by Tojo drivers how bad our Patrols are and I'm guessing very few have ever owned one and know what it's all about...... ;D

At least with a landcruiser this little duckie can fit in with three of us and I can see where i am goin and not much look at the bonnet.

And I can fit seven and still see over the dash.....Maybe it isn't Nissans fault that your a duck?....hehehe.......Though if you feel comfortable paying twice as much for half the vehicle then so be it..... ;D ;D ;D

Paying twice the price now thats bullShit, we have priced both vehicle (new models),
the Nissan was far to squashy, the driver couldn't even get it in first gear with 15 yr old in the middle and hiim and hubby aren't that big.  (He was a NISSAN salesman too).  The price of them was about $2000 cheaper, the Nissan was 4cyl (yeah cheaper rego but piss weak to the v8).

So give me the toyota anyday. 
With the Toyo we are gettin the head light protectors, bonnent protectors, dash mat, thrown in and thats more than Nissan offered us. 

 >:D >:D >:D

One has to wonder why one would buy a Ute to accommodate 3 adults??? I'm sure there is a reason there somewhere?

I guess you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink......hehehe......Good luck with your new purchase.....

'Teabag - One has to wonder why one would buy a Ute to accommodate 3 adults??'

who said anything about 3 adults, the lad may be 15 but hes not a big lad other than in height where he is taller than hubby and I.

I sure hope to goodness that hes not with us when hes left school, (by then he will be able to buy his own vehicle).

'Joff - BTW, checked your wheel nuts lately?  '

You really want me to comment about NUTS, maybe not or i will be in TROUBLE again >:D


'Teabag - Do Toyota's come with a hand brake that works?'

Whats a handbrake? >:D

Nope  ;D I didn't own any one of em with less than 160,000 on the clock. A Toyota is not something you need to own till the warrantee runs out then throw it at a dealer for another set of keys. I do have a Pajero that will go when the warrantee gets close though.

Actually, only one of em, my current 80, even had an LSD. While it is weak it still works a bit.. ish.. at 300k. And I can honestly say, hand on heart, that, with the exception of that weak LSD and a rear water squirter, everything still works just how it was supposed to.

There are no windows that stop halfway, no none standard wires or hoses bypassing broken bits, no need to hit this or shake that to make something work. It ain’t because of easy treatment or quick repair either. In the several years I have had it I have done nothing, but nothing has played up.

Even the rear water squirter works, it is just that it makes the front one squirt too. Think it might just be in the stalk. ;D
 
I said before, I’m not manufacturer biased and I’m not. Toyota has built some **** boxes - anyone for an Avalon? Get ya free blue rinse and bowls hat when you pick it up! But I am 80 series cruiser biased. There has never been, before or since, a better all round vehicle. Some one tried to tell me it was late competition for the GQ - get ya hand off it. It was early competition for the GU and still makes the GU look like a rattley farm tractor.

Ah, the old size matters hey? Though with size comes a few trade offs, such as fuel economy which is important now wrt fuel prices. I have been reliably informed the new 4.5 V8 cruiser is a rather thirstly bugger? :cheers:

PS: Not sure what engine you have in the 80 but if it is a 1HZ then it is the same size as mine.......I do agree wrt the 3ltr, better suited in a sewing machine.......hehehehe

Don't know why you guys bother with all this discussion about which Japanese tin can is better.  After all, neither is a JEEP, the first and still the best!

Nice looking Jeep.....I think they are a good size 4x4 for only a couple of people...not convinced about their long term reliability.......but then I drive a Hyundai Terracan CRDI so I shouldn't talk eh ??

Fairly similar to the Jeep CRDI......2.9 ltr,  125Kw,    340Nm,   but sees off 4.2 and 3 ltr Patrols.... ;D ;D ;D

4x4 of choice..( cash donation please ) Rangie Sport V8 T/D....awesome !!
More affordable 4x4...maybe a 4 door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Diesel ( diesel not available yet ! )

Please explain your theory that this see's off the 4.2 and 3lt Patrol?  Very interested to hear the logic?  I think somebody needs to do a little more research........................ :-*
