hey,
i own an 06 GU patrol with the grenade ( 3.0 ltr turbo diesel ) engine in it.
the 4.2 turbo diesels in both patrols and cruisers are ridiculously overpriced IMHO
if you want a 4wd machine get the patrol but if you prefer to go on long drives etc i think the cruiser is a better option.
the cruiser have weaker CVs and driveline than patrols but like people pointed out the patrol's barn door and rear chasis where the rear springs sits are known to crack from overload so you need to look out for these things.

seagull how much do you charge if i want one of them for my patrol?
