4800 vs 4500

[SJC]

I did a search but could find a thread on this topic.

I am looking to buy a second Patrol, can someone give me a crash course in the differences between these two?

Besides the 4800 having slightly more power, what other differences are there?

Fuel consumption, is it the same?

Seems to be more manual 4500 around, not sure if you get a 4800 in manual - I think not.

Anything else worth considering?

Slightly? I don't call 20% a slight increase.

Fuel consumption is broadly similar, except that I think the 4.5 auto-box is less efficient.

The 4.8 came in manual as well, but only in GL trim. They are fairly scarce though.

The 4.8 auto box is much more advanced than the 4.5's I have driven a 4.5 auto, and would not want one, but the 4.8's auto box is OK.

The only real disadvantage of the 4.8 is that the electrical system is much more complex. But then, that's a big part of the reason it's better too...

Wat is die verskil tussen die twee se standaard specs?
KW & Torque?

Sal jy sê dat die 4500 'n donkie is in vergelyking met die 4800?

[Peter Connan]

Ek dink die 4.5 is omtrent 150-160kW (kry verskillende antwoorde) en 320nm
Die 4.8 is net onder die 200kW en net oor 400Nm.

Nog nooit van n 4.8 drywer gehoor wat eerder n 4.5 wou hê nie

Imagine daardie kilos in die ad was nie n tikfout nie, n miljoen in 10 jaar is serious overlanding

Ja, nee. Daai een is nou mooi in geloop.

Dankie

Ek wonder maar. Want hierdie 4500 lyk of dit in goeie kondisie is en laer km's (as 'n plan b):

Ek is baie gelukkig met my 1999 4500 GRX Patrol

Ek het hom gekoop in 2008 met sy kilos 265000km en het nou al 338000km.
