Asked by Wayne Barlow
HAVING retired, I'm about to join the Grey Nomads, but I'm not sure which vehicle would best suit me. I intend to travel from Melbourne to the west coast, up to Darwin, Cairns and back down the east coast, taking five to six months. I will be travelling mainly on sealed roads and I plan to tow a 5.5-6m van weighing 2-2.5 tonnes. I am looking at the 2005 LandCruiser Diesel Turbo, the 2005 LandCruiser Prado V6, and the 2005 Patrol Diesel Turbo. Which would be best for me?
Answered by CarsGuide
28 Aug 2009I WOULD not recommend the turbodiesel Patrol because of the high number of reports of engine failure, which leaves the two Toyotas. Both will do what you want, but I would go for the Prado because it's a little more civilised than the LandCruiser. I would also go for the diesel rather than the petrol V6 because I believe it will give you better fuel economy on your trip.
