    Ive looked at Landruisers, Shoguns, Patrols, Ml's etc etc

    its a toss up between the shogun and the patrol

    the shogun is winning on certain points but the patrol on others

    BUT i know loads about the shoguns, but i have no feedback on the patrols!

    they have minimal servicing and a lot of heat so i'd say thats a good advert

    yeah the UN use them a lot

    cant find much info on them at all in the UK, theres a few nightmare stories of engine failure even with full service history from australia though??

    Two guys at work have them and they give them an absolute beating off road. How hard you go off road is directly related to how deep your pockets are though. Real easy to belly them.

    Also the Navara can take a beating, not as refined to drive though
