So I love Nissans, and dream of a Patrol in my driveway. My Son is busy with a tender, and a job offer is on the table, but he is looking at DC bakkies as the mobile site offices for the site managers who supervise the teams of horizontal drillers and trenchers. The vehicle may need to haul bigass loads of up to 3ton now and then between sites in town, but needs to be comfy enough in a hot environment for the supervisor to spend hours at a time in the car as the site progresses a few meters per day. My son suggested Amarok or Hilux as he gets these easily on auctions, and sees them as disposable items in this application. I got the prices he has been paying for some of these vehicles, and pretty sure I can fit a Patrol into a 300k-400k budget, and I am sure he can add a bit for his Dad

So now the big question, is a TD42 Patrol the right "tool" for the job? Am I blinded by my passion and greed, and should rather be looking at something else. I am asking here, because I know I will get totally unbiased opinions and suggestions


So lets hear it please.
