Within a couple weeks I am looking to buy one or the other. I am in PNG, so the models might be a bit different than the australian market. Both are brand new from the dealers.
The Cruiser has the non turbo 1hz
The Patrol has the non turbo td42
- there are no other engine choices.
The cruiser has leaf springs on the back axel, and Limited Slip Diff
The Patrol has coil over torsion on all 4 wheels and manual locking front hubs
Both have vinyl interiors and manual windows, power steering, ac. The LC has power locks and dual 90 liter tanks. patrol has single 95 liter tank.
Patrol is 43000 USD
Cruiser is 49000 USD
Driveaway price.
I wont be doing any recreational offroading, but the vehicle will be on brutal bush roads most of the time (though the Highlands Hwy is quite brutal just by itself). I wont be towing much. But I want the vehicle to last 15 + year with few major problems.
I am from the US, so not familiar at all with these models. We have the LC200 and the inifinty qx. Not exactly the equivalent.
Would appreciate any advice, thoughts, comments.
Thanks!
