I GOT A NEW PATROL
So I traded my 2013 CRD for a 2016 4.8. I know it's not the logical thing to do but I must say I am not missing my CRD. The ride quality and comfortness is not comparable (No offense to diesel owners). I am loving the new car. For odd reason my CRD was too shaky, on a bumpy road but I that is not the case with 4.8. Braking is excellent on the new one also.
I am not worried about fuel consumption. One has to lose some to gain some. So that's ok for me. Fortunately the new models has 6 years warranty.
I will post some pics very soon.

Re: I GOT A NEW PATROL
Great stuff! For twice the price you could have bought a Land Cruiser 200, so the fuel consumption is a negligible factor. And factor in the service plan and warranty. Not many better deals available on the market.
