Hi
Just bought a new 4.8, and sitting on ants trying to be patient for the delivery to happen..... :blonde:

I hope I can sponge up all the info regarding these legendary vehicles.... :oldtimer:

I previously had a Defender, and some other non important 4x4s. I hope the Patrol is as capable as the Defender but with less hassles... :rolleyes:

Welcome to the forum! And welcome to driving a reliable vehicle!!!

BULLETPROOF!!! :thumbup:

The only down point I can point out about the 4.8 is FUEL consumption!!! Its a drinker, fast or slow!!!

Congrats :blonde:

The Defender can only compete with the patrol in 2 areas.
1. The obvious fuel consumption no comparison.
2. Packing space. The Patrol has quite a bit less

If you can live with these two there is no comparison.

Enjoy the monster

Welcome to the forum and to the lazy man's 4x4.

Now you can forget all you ever learnt about 4x4ing, because your new car is so capable, it does it all itself! :rolling:

So true Peter.

The last time I did Matroosberg a friend in a newish Hilux followed me. Upon reaching the top he commented that it was great following me. By avoiding my line, he had the perfect line to go up the mountain :rolling:

Hi Andrew,

Kan jy nou glo, jy het tot jou sinne gekom en Patrol gekoop :blonde: Jy sal nie spyt wees nie. Heel toevallig sien ek nou hierdie post van jou - jy sal jou ou vrinne moet laat weet as jy sulke slim besluite neem :biggrin: :clap:

Ek en Louise sit nou hier in Barcelona - Spanje. Hierdie spul wil net scooters en klein karretjies ry :confused: Hoop jy geniet jou Patrol en kom wys hom gou, dit is nogals lekker om uit te sleep en nie uit gesleep te word nie :rolling: jy sal dit nou self ervaar.Groete en reel daardie winter Sani naweek!

Dawid en Louise.
