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........................ :-*

Very elementry Mr Watson !!!!!!!( apart from mine having a power box ) It has the same or more power and torque and weighs less....which equals more go !!

The new common rail 3 ltr has a bit more torque than mine ( although as mentioned mine has got a power box....claimed figures...145Kw.....380 - 400 Nm...????  )

More than happy to step up to the mark.. ;D ;D ;D ;D :cheers:

Now I have heard some drivel......Did you get a little bump on the head yesterday... :-*..O.K, let's settle this.  You name the time/date for a weekend at Yalwal (more challenging tracks) and we will play.  This will be the true test agains the very well made Hyundia  ::). I will not use the locker and we will see how far you get, easy to talk it up......... :-* :-*

Ahhh........c'mon ......you won't get me saying my Terra is as good as a Patrol off road !!!

I'm talking performance wise....engine performance !! Never mentioned off road, but been offroad enough to know the only thing stopping most 4x4's is the ability ( or lack of ) of the driver to punish the 4x4 !!

But if we ever get away camping together, I'm sure we can talk ( dribble ) about this over a few beers.. ;D ;D ;D

Yes, towing capacity of the Terracan is.....wait for it......2500kg producing 120kw and 345nm torque where the Patrol 4.2TDi is 3500kg producing 114kw and 360nm at a lower rpm......Torque down low is where it is at......Simple mathmatics...........Patrol is  :cup:

 ;D ;D ;D  not quite..........torque is good but you need power as well....I would think those figures have the two engines pretty well line ball.........until you lined up mine with an extra few ponies and more torque.. ;D ;D    and less weight !!!  Patrol...no.2   ;D ;D

Plus, how do they work out the towing capacities of vehicles when two 4x4's have similar weights and nearly identical power and torque figures yet have a ton difference..
Or try this.......in Germany, the ball weights are 75kg's and you can't tow on Sundays ?????

I thought we where talking stock vehicles......Are now if we want to take into account what can be done to the 4.2 with some aftermarket work then it would blow the piss out of the little rice burner......So Patrol is still  :cup:....Bwahahahaha

There are many factors that decide towing capacity from size of vehicle, engine specification, size of brakes etc......I would be interested to see how long the Terracan will last towing 2 ton day in day out.......Would be very interesting on it's longjevity.................. :cheers:

The little rice burners might surprise you (and me ).. Have talked to somebody from Hyundai tech services and the Terra diesels have been in Europe for years and they have almost nil failure rates..

As for towing 2 ton ?? whats gonna go wrong ?? engine failure ?? 5 year warranty = new engine !!
Out of warranty ?? Tell me a manufacturer that has a bullet proof engine anymore ??

Can't count the 4.2 as the boat anchor is no longer made  ;D ;D

And stock standard it will still see off Patrols ( petrols excluded ) ;D ;D     and aftermarket....whatever you can do to a Patrol you can probably do to a Terracan..

yep sure do, and at this stage I would not swap it for anything else...............unless money was no option then I would like to drop a 200 series body and engine onto a GU Chassis and drivetrain, but thats not likely so I will stick to old faithful  ;D

Now this is what I love to see ... a decent sledge-fest  ;D ;D ;D

I love my Prado ... but I'm always happy to head bush with a Pootrol .....


.... that way, when the firewood runs out, I know we can burn the Pootrol
{feel free to insert your own brand of fourby here .... I'd hate to think anyone felt left out of this sledge}  ;D ;D

G'day Teabag

That's why I chucked a winch on my tractor. 

The only thing worse than being rescued by a Pootrol is being rescued by a Pajero {think Spanish} or TerrorCan  ;D ;D ;D

BTW .. ignoring the badge .. that's one nice looking setup you've got there  :cup:

Playdoughs, Jerrycans......Pfffft >:D

Get a real truck...One that will out last your warranty.
Yes I have a Patrol, yes it's a 4.2l diesel, and it's never given me any grief, even considering the flogging it gets off road, and it's never snapped a CV.  Eat that Tojo drivers  (except the ones that drive 60 series 8))


Dano.

P.S.    I heard JT has GU diffs under his rig........ :D :D :D



I'd rather make it home in a rusty Nissan, than fixing a Toyota on the roadside!  lol!

Yeah but at the end of the day I have still managed to bend and brake stuff on the mighty GU diffs.....think next time around I might try some Sangyoung Musso diffs  ;D ;D
