My brother has a Y62. Did about 16L/100 towing camper from Melb to Cape York. Also has a tune done to run on 91 octane. He cannot talk up the car more. Its a beast
My 2016 Y62 has 275 on the clock as a work tow vehicle towing 3 tonne of machinery daily. Only mod is 48mm raised rear springs and air bags. Still going strong. Has had a LH engine mount and on the 3rd set of rotors...serviced religiously including the transmission.
Love my gq it’s a bucket of nuts and bolts but it’s easy to fix and with aftermarket parts around these days you can get it to be a real good car and I think I paid $7k for it about 12years ago it’s a 1992 model Td42 just fixed up the cooling system it’s rough and sips reliable but ye ain’t no v8 so pritty slow 🤣
Like both vehicles.. more of a Nissan man myself and own a patrol… but that aside, I couldn’t pay the Toyota tax for a car 5 years older with more km’s for the same price. Nissan has always been as reliable as Toyota but cost less. So patrol all day for me.
I'd prefer to put that money towards a clean 80, 100, 105 or even something like a tb48 GU. If you're patient, the odd FTE converted 80/105 series pop up every now and then under 50k. All are pretty reliable and with 50k, you can get a very clean example of a vehicle that is tried and tested. FTE105 would be the dream, personally!
Would be better offroad, definitely more likely to have more reliability issues being older and often driven hard by previous owners. Also less comfortable as a daily
I just sold my 2013 y62 with 281000 on the clock and was still going with no issues at all. People like to talk about the Toyotas without even knowing much about a y62. Don’t come with the “petrol” it’s a poor argument. And yes I upgraded to a 2022 y62 cause the patrol is way better than a landcruiser.
Had my 2013 200 from new done 182k kms. Lots of offroad beach desert and no problems with motor. I started running a unfilter air filter about 6 months ago to avoid the potential dusting issue. I think there is alit of fear porn out there with regards to the 200. You just need to ensure it's serviced correctly. JAFFA adventures has plenty of great videos on servicing. I change the fuel filter and service my uni filter every 5k and get a good mechanic to do the rest every 10k. No issues at all with the engine injectors or turbos. 2010 to 2015 are probably best. Pre DPF fianda
I’d avoid 2nd hand in this situation given all the river crossings etc and towing stress, he’s better off putting 50k down on a new y62 and finance the rest or I wouldn’t bother at all and buy nothing. Last thing you want is your 50k patrol to end up costing you 70k with repairs etc may aswell have just gone new anyway.
@@dangerm3496 agree, the y62 brand new is quite cheap now the Ti is like 88k on sale at the moment brand new. $50k?? Your like 70% of the way, just finance the remaining and get warranty and peace of mind.
Thanks guys, this is exactly the question/scenario I'd been grappling with this week, except that I'm towing a 2750kg caravan. I'm leaning towards a $60k base 200 series then another $10k (it'll be $20k im sure 😂😂😂) for mods, as the patrol doesn't seem to have a sufficient gvm/gcm even with a gvm upgrade for modding AND towing. (I think)
You'll find both are about the same for towing. The Y62 has a better weight balance for it and the independent suspension is the bee's knees when you have it set up properly.
It’s funny that you see the alternator on the 200 / 70 as an issue, had one 12 years and no problems. If you like drive through salt water, like to play in deep mud ie extreme use, then the whole car will suffer not just the alternator. I don’t hear from the workshop s they are changing out heap of alternators. After market parts for 200’s are easier to find. Suspension packages for 62 are really expensive, and only a handful of quality kits out there.
The Y62 started life as a Nissan Armada, a large family oriented SUV for the North American market back in 04. Targeted at suburban families, and obviously not for offroad given its independant suspension, bulbous packaging and overall class. Sure you can spruce it up into a big offroader, but man is it a bit cringe to see what yall do with them down under. Back in Canada, they have zero following and are perceived as totally unremarkable.
sure bud, cool story. They get driven hard offroad here with little to no issue but you know better i'm sure. Please stay in north america and try to not breed
Get a Nissan Patrol. Even an MQ Nissan Patrol is better bang for your buck than a 200 series Toyota Landcruiser or any Toyota Landcruiser for that matter. If you are smart, get a GQ or GU Nissan Patrol and save some coin for a roast and some pots down at the RSL. Maybe even slide some avocados through the pokies. While we are on topic, we all know that Toyota Prados are for primary school car parks and excursions to the local Aldi at noon on a Wednesday.
Sorry mate, but 2 kids and you need space? We have 5 kids and get around in a 2012 Territory. Not usually a troll, but bloody hell. You don't need something that big
$50k or less will get you one hell of a restored/original 80 series....or it will get you one hell of a clapped out 200 series 😂 Id probably lean towards a very nice, clean, original and high standard 80 series with a simple 1HDTFE instead of a clapped out 200 thats infinitely more expensive to maintain, worse on fuel and arguably less capable then an 80.
I tow 3.3 ton with a y62 get 16.9l/100k a friend tows a 3.4 ton with y62 and get 19.8l/100k. A 200 Lc get 29l/100k.Think you got you info back to front
Who the hell was that guy?? 😅 you can tell he gets all his info from the internet. He has NO idea So you buy a land cruiser and it blows up? 😂😂. people pay top dollar for them, because they’re so good. Mate, stick to city cars. It’s where u belong

Cheers for the chat on my question guys. really appriciate it and it was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Cheers for sending it in
So what’s the verdict?

Still going strong. Has had a LH engine mount and on the 3rd set of rotors...serviced religiously including the transmission.
Everyone always forgets the 1grfe 150 so underrated so easy to work on,super reliable.
Lol what 😂
Great engines, don’t have the grunt these two have but super reliable
Seen soooo many 300k-400k patrol that have never had any issues. I know which way I’m going.
Y62, every day of the week!! 200 shouldn’t even be in the same category 🤷♂️
U own a petrol station ?
@@anthonyoteri2836, you own a patrol?
200 isn’t even close the y62

Absolutely! y62 is value and performance. Has to add 20% to his budget for an equivalent.
Like both vehicles.. more of a Nissan man myself and own a patrol… but that aside, I couldn’t pay the Toyota tax for a car 5 years older with more km’s for the same price. Nissan has always been as reliable as Toyota but cost less.

Totally agree.

Great 4wd, sh!t for touring
That 200 series instantly add 4k plus fitting for a set of injectors

Now let's talk about ownership costs from 200,000km to 300,000km, where this guy is going to own it.
Y62 do come in that colour in the Middle East. Many have done over 300k with no issues.
Elite!
What about the fuel system on a 200 post-200k?

200 series with 200,000kms would be due for injectors and egr clean so add $6-8,000 unless they've already been done.
Ronnie can't betray his toyota loyalty lol
Good to have a Patrol guru on the channel to help out like a guest? Just an idea
Ah the question that remains unanswered to this day.
Landcruiser or Patrol?
Patrol.. easy.. haha..
Ronny please come to Africa, especially Namibia 🇳🇦, we are gonna appreciate it 😊😊
Haven't been there since 1990
Ooooh boy
Brand new outback for me. Nothing beats peace of mind warranty esp if you are planning to dominate the desert
That is a unique one!
😂
I recon better off going a stock as a rock 4wd if its second hand least u know it hasnt been basjed around the bush too much
Fair point
Y62 ,I have one ,2013 Patrol had issues with stretched timing chain ,I had to do mine
Rate it
They only had that issue for 12 months before they fixed the problem, so from 2014 onwards you won’t have that problem

So true 35 deposit finance the rest spend 10-15 on mods.

Potentially way way more things to go wrong with the 200 with a few km's in the future. Injectors, alternators, starter motor. All every expensive
Y62 is the go then you think?

Their was no Ti and TiL option in 2013 in NZ

Depends on what you're doing
What is an example of a quality suspension kit for the Y62?
Who would you recommend supplies and installs this quality suspension kit?
Id be concerned about the 200 engine there are more than a few that have spat the engine and at 30k for a new one its a big gamble
LX 570 is another option, almost all have been well cared for also.
Where's the rest of the video?

Yep I’m with you on that one, even a 78 troopy with a rebuilt FTE, that’s a life car.
20% Toyota tax to find a vehicle equivalent to a Y62.
😂😂
At 50 grand. Neither. Maybe Tank 500. Unless youre towing 3 tonne. In which case, rethink the trip.
The old tank 500 hey
@@BackChat old is right. Haval H9. Proven.
No one’s towing a caravan or doing serious bush work in one of them. 🙄
@@michaelwaters69 well we,ll leave out the sub continent armies using them. But I suggest you look at videos occasionally.
Get a really nice 100 series for 40-45k
Y62 I have heard people quote as high as 30 litres to 100km towing 3 tonne van
I have a 2023 Y62, and have never come close to 30L/100 while towing, probably coming from those LC fanboys.
