Have you driven a lowly diesel 200 series.

Bring it in the Patrol and they will go like sausage sangas with onion and sauce at a BBQ.

Nissan's Cummins-sourced 5.0-litre turbo diesel V8 remains in place under the bonnet. Producing around 230kW and 750Nm in standard trim, the big motor has more than enough pulling power to help the big truck get mobile.

Now owning the patrol y62. 5.6 petrol V8. I wont be going back to a diesel. Yep heavier on fuel. Do i care? Nope. (Was $25g cheaper then a 200 vx).
Goes like a cut cat. ( toy 200 good luck keeping up) Tows like nothings even hooked up. Then out 4wd,  man its comfy,  and plenty capable. 

Yes I'm bias cause i own 1.

They are a nice truck !!

Whack on a 2T van and we'll see how they compare to the 200 "dirty" diesel ??

I have but its a 3t off road brick.  .

Ps not starting a slinging match. But i enjoy "fishing"

[Bird]

amazing the deals on patrol petrols out there.. 55k drive away on old models...

[Troopy_03]

So how do they go at low revs like when 4WDing over really rough terrain?

Fantastic. Low 1st,  of what ever you choose. And it just walks as any other 4wd.
I have come from a pretty spec  out 105 and i find this is patrol very easy to control. Yes it has all the gizmos like all new 4wd do. And I'll have to say they work very well.
It may sit a little higher in the rev range then a diesel but I still have all the same abilities.

and no long range tanks for remote touring, be interesting to see what it performs like on opal fuel, no chance of getting rear draws in it, under slung spare..... .......yep, laying in the dirt to get it out and put the buggered tyre back, massive fuel figures offroad.........
yep, keep it on the bitumen

Ha ha yr funny.
Rear bars are already  available.
Spare wheel can be relocated to it.
Long rangers have a tank available.
Will run on Opal. But you may wish to add octane additive. Better then getting "dirty" diesel..
Fuel usage. While touring 15/100...
Rear draws? I have seen about 3 styles todate.
You even have rock sliders available.

So not sure what your on about.

All tongue in cheek Joe.......
but I'd doubt that you'd get 15s on the canning, simmo, connie sue et al, hence "dirty" dieseasal is the go

[gronk]

.......yep, laying in the dirt to get it out and put the buggered tyre back,

Same as the 200 series.....1st rule is...don't get a flat....2nd rule is...don't lay on the ground, just wind the wheel down, pull it out and reverse for putting the flat under there !!

Shes apples.

Yep I'm sure it use more fuel.. How much more, anyone's guess. From experience though I have found the fuel consumption not over the top as many just  presume. Compared to my mated 200 im usually average 5 / 8L per 100km more. Towing, 4wding, normal driving.  BUT put the loud pedal down its not the  techco that moves the fastest.

Seem to remember a 4WD Action 'cross the Simmo knockout' between a 76 series V8 diesel ute and V8 petrol Datto with the intent of showing how much cheaper the Tojo was to run off road. There wasn't a lot between them in the end, much to my amazement (and theirs I would imagine). The Datty was also the better one to travel in.

Heard a V8 Nissan recently up in Bright that I thought was the best sounding real 4x4 I had ever heard, obviously with an aftermarket exhaust. I ended up drooling through my beard onto my shirt, and the better half had to close my mouth. My diesel was on shaky grounds for a couple of days.

I think the story loses cred right there LMAO

I'm usually the 1st to espouse the value of a diesel, but if I had plenty of coin for a new 200 series, the petrol would get serious discussion. The DPF is the one thing for me to maybe push the argument the other way !

Listen here Mr 2 4wds and a sweet Torry... your opinion doesn't count

[speewa158]

Long range fuel tanks  , Pfffffff  ,really   ,just how many times in the life of the rig do you really need them now . Most fuel is within the tank range of the average stock rig . To do a run across the Simpson , Tanamine , or Darwin to Hobart . What cant you do with 4 or more plastic jerries    . Yes you can install a Huge tank for a few Gs or $200 of jerries .
Convince me of the benefit .
