Should I trade the patrol for a prado???

[CRW]

I love my Tojo's but keep the Patrol. Maybe you could spend $6-7k and get her a nice run around for town and keep the Pootrol for family trips and the weekend.

Now there is a sensible answer, and I own a Toyota

For 20k changeover I'd be looking at a small runabout or an engine conversion.
Watch her eyes light up when she is frying the wheels leaving the school pickup with a V8 engine.

it's a no brainer - sell the Patrol

Yep a patrol with a 200kw 800nm V8 turbo diesel would be the ultimate ,that aint gonna happen.
How much diesel does a decked out prado use?
The patrol gets about 14l/100 at the moment and that's everyday with the missus driving but it stays at about that when we load up and towing a light trailer.

No problem....TD42T with some bits.....quite easy to achieve actually.

Defo keep the troll, and discuss buying a small run around for her...all bases covered and sorted this way....

I wouldn't sell it.... We were faced with a similar decision and decided the small runabout vehicle for in town was the answer.  The Patrol just does the long haul trips and the towing tasks...boat/camper etc etc.   The little second hand Nissan pulsar (one lady owner average of 75 km a week over the time she had it) was the perfect answer to our quandary.....
