Which one do you think is better to get second hand, a V6 landcruiser or a V8 nissan patrol?

It's pretty much up to you, but it's guaranteed that either model will have the PISS beaten out of it, unless you can find an expat-owned one

I dont see a problem as long as I check the engine, gearbox, and chassis. My question was about the cars more than the driving style.

I dont belive that expat owned vehicles are better than others, thats just what people like you would like to believe.

Whoa whoa i'm saying this because i'm a master mechanic, not because i'm some hypocrite that thinks all local drivers are crappy behind the wheel.

When was the last time you DIDN"T see a landcruiser or patrol bouncing off the rev-limiter during a usual stoplight-to-stoplight "drag race" or late-night trip to the co-op?
It pains me to see those engines having the crap run out of them for no reason, although i know they could take it.

Which models are you talking about? The new Landcruisers have V6's, but the 4.0 1GR-FE has been proven only adequate to power the larger model landcruiser, a better investment would be the 4.7L 2UZ-FE V8 available for the 2008-2009 GX1GX-R platform.

The Patrol is only available with the 4.8L HO Tb48DE Inline-6, 4.5L TB45E inline 6, or the 4.2L TB42 inline 6 diesel. No V8 options are available unless the truck has had a late-model GM L-series V8 or Nissan VK series V8 from the pathfinder or armada swapped in.

My mistake, its an I6 engine for the Patrol, I got one in a really good condition, checked at the dealer and still under warranty..

Nice!

Landcruiser def!!!

Yeah but ugly as fu*k ! and so is the 200 series L/C.

Get the cruiser FJ71( I'm not talking F.gay cruiser ) series. Now thats a proper 4x4. The 2010's even have a really awesome interior redesign

I second your comment desertdudeshj. The FJ71 is the mother of all 4WD.
