About three days after we finished filming this epic duel, Nissan confirmed it would soon offer a bunch of upgrades on the Patrol Warrior in Australia, including a cool box, bigger central touch-screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, not to mention a wireless phone charger. It adds $3000 to the price. Check out the updates here: www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/2024-nissan-patrol-to-receive-long-awaited-infotainment-upgrade-145362/
Also, at 7:45 we mention the head up display in the Toyota has sharp visuals but they look blurry - that's because the camera couldn't focus on the windscreen data properly. So while it looks munted in the footage, it's actually really crisp and clear in real life.
Got my TI-L delivered last Sep. Only use it to tow my caravan. Absolutely love it. Pushing 160K onroad cost for the GR Sport. Even after I spent 18k on my mods (180Kg GVM upgrade, airbags, RASLARR front bar, Stedi EVO’s, slimline 100Ah lithium under floor battery, DASH false floor, GME, ARB twin compressor, woodgrain delete, etc, I’m still 40K better off. I have a mate that’s having his GR Sport being built right now, ordered it 19 months ago. I only waited 7 months for my Y62. No brainer for me.
People who have a problem with Toyota charging almost 150K for the cruiser are the same people who are okay with land rover charging the same for a defender. The consistency is non-existent. I mean you have the right to buy what you want and can afford.
These are the same people who moan about the Patrols interior even though it's actually very comfortable and well made, and then claim the 70 series is 'value for money'. Dropping 150k on the LC over 105 for the Y62 is a more money than brain cells decision.
@@mwat22 plenty of unreliable Toyotas out there too mate. The thing is if you buy a defender or a discovery you don’t need suspension upgrades, transmission upgrades, the traction control is the best in the business and they don’t drive like a latex mattress.
The first thing you do with the LC300 is lift it & put on better wheels & tires. This makes it even more expensive but will remove the short comings you mentioned. It's a nice place to sit. If you look around there are now GR sports available stock around in some dealers. They wont be cheap though...
It would be great for the WARRIOR to have a sales rep in the US to send those mods over for sale and service this side of the pond. Shame the US market on ly has the LX600 but who can afford those nowadays. Great review.
I bought a 2023 Y62 TI L, changed the rubbish screen for middle east version and had woodgrain updated to black. Saved $10s of thousands over LC300. I worked out it would take 20 years of extra fuel cost in the Nissan to get to start price of Toyota... no brainer. Nissan.
I’ve had my Y62 for 10 years, one of 15 4WDs I’ve owned. Nissan aren’t as well put together as a Toyota. Love the V8 which is why I keep repairing the 62.
Your statements about the Landcruiser and Snowy scheme are incorrect. Land Rovers did the hard work before the Toyota arrived - and it didn't even have low range.
Yes the Land Cruiser did not have low range, and even later when they did have low range it was still not suitable for the mountainous terrain due to its 34 degree side roll over angle compared to the Land Rovers 45, so the construction stage of the build was done by Land Rovers, and the managers drove a couple of Land Cruisers on the paved road.
There are a couple of choices I don’t get with the Patrol. First is the side exit pipes. The may look and sound cool but for an off-road vehicle they are in a terrible spot for damage. Maybe it was dictated by the larger spare wheel and redesigned tow bar? The other thing is that they haven’t upgraded the GVM with the new suspension. As a touring vehicle the payload will be an issue for most. This can be upgraded by changing the suspension and getting it re-engineered but what a lost opportunity not to do this while re-doing the suspension for this model. So for many people, the new Premcar suspension will need to be replaced anyway. And yes, before anyone comments, the GVM comments apply equally to the Landcruiser. It just stands out more for the Nissan because they fitted a post factory suspension upgrade to it but still left this problem in place.
what - not Tank500? Trifecta V8petrol vs V6TD vs 4Hybrid great ground clearance (rear locker) vs good ground clearance (twinlocked) vs mediocre ground clearance (twinlocked) 75k vs 100k+ vs 140k+
Yeah these two models have a pedigree that goes back to the 1950s and 1960s, and they have a rivalry that's as old as hills. But we've tested Tank against Toyota Prado - check it out: ruclips.net/video/fwZ3o0YjdJ0/видео.html
Warrior V8 for the win on epic 2 inch lift and plate on the front . never get Toyota because too expensive for a V8 Warrior V8 is a good price for V8 (Toyota $148,000 Nissan $101,000) Nissan is a good price
Toy-mota "We have set the price at 150k"..... "is it worth that?".... Toy-mota "No, but there are plenty of idiots in Australia that will pay what we tell too, if we can get 90K for a 79 series..."
@@craigdavid6668 Very true, because I spent 100K cash on machinery for my workshop, you're welcome to come past and have a look if you like, you might like my lathe!
Just a question, seen it wasn't the top trim of the Nissan shown here but it was of the LC seen it was the GR trim. Is it really the best consumer comparison seen the price range is so massive ? I mean how many people will buy the GR LC compared to the more regular trims of the LC 300. I'm just curious
Im a toyota fan, in fact i drive a Hilux and Fortuner, the only downside for me for Toyota LC300 except for the price is the SIZE, its kinda SMALL and cramp interior space vs the old Y62 Patrol, infact the MIDSIZE Ford Everest got longer wheelbase vs the LC300 which is categorize as "Full size/Upper" size SUV. it is small and short to be in full size suv, even in the midsize Toyota Fortuner vs Nissan TERRA, Toyota is always smaller in outer and interior size
@@marcusgeorge1825 We've just added an update, pinned it to the top of the comments. Patrols will soon get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a $3000 price increase.
Gotta love that wheel lifting independent suspension (of the Nissan). The biggest show stopper I see off-road (and on RUclips), is CV failure on independent suspension, especially when a diff locker is involved. People are being conned into believing IS is a good thing. Would love to drive the Nissan for a month, but would never buy one.
l don't like either. The 300 because they have discontinued the split tailgate and the Y62 because of the 17L/100K's. So l would just suffer an old 200-series and enjoy its ability and fuel efficiency. l don't need the electronic gimmicks. l think tank range is a biggie and an old 200 or Prado with 200L tanks is the win. However, given the 300 has an extra 250 Kms tank range over the Y62, depending upon where you live, it could be the win in the longer run.
Motor awesome, everything else........... Old... Also old against all same price against American 4x4s. I would love a media guy to take the GR vs American Rams and Chevs and Fords Same price even after conversions. Come one guys
Same mate, I bought a good horse, saved a fortune and way more capable of road than these things. Sure I go without some luxuries like seats and a windscreen but those are just for latte sipping yuppies. Gq/horses for the win!
Every time they put the Landcruiser and the Patrol together in a battle, the end is always the same with the comment on price. Before I even watched it, I knew it would be the same comment. Some of us don’t want to drive an archaic vehicle, regardless of price.
Also you don't need to tow anything, or have more than two people in the car, or go at over 100kph on a motorway, or store anything in the back, or drive on sand etc etc
There is another direct competitor in the market up against these two. The 6cyl P400 or D300 Defender 110 or 130 or even the V8 one. It’s better than either of these. Also the LR Discovery and Ineos Grenadier as you say. Don’t forget the Toyota is Running Clearance not actual ground clearance at the lowest point as it should be measured. It’s less in reality. Additionally the Patrol is better with its coil springs and independent suspension all round. No leaf springs or solid axles getting in the way. The CarPlay seemed to take up ⅔ of the screen on the GR Sport, not ⅓ as stated. Recirculation control must Always be a button never buried in a screen (or it must be persistent on every single screen) as you need to be able to activate it within 1-2 seconds when a dirty diesel pulls away from you at the lights (unless you want cancer) etc. This is a deal breaker for me - but so is buying any Toyota. Most electric cars have it buried in a menu so I’ll also never buy one til that is resolved. You enter a cloud of dust, pollen, diesel fumes, smoke etc you need recirculation super fast. No excuses. The Warrior should have been based on the Ti-L so that’s a let down. Funny how it’s claimed these are a nightmare in the city. I drive a 6m+ long Pantech light truck in the city at night and in the day. I can reverse park in almost any standard width park with ease and I have no centre mirror and a box on the back - even without a reversing cam on some vehicles. It’s super easy to manoeuvre so same as these vehicles - you just need to get used to it. They aren’t that large.
$10k on the Patrol would get you full digital dash, modern infotainment screen and a front locker basically removing all the shortcomings except fuel cost. Id take the patrol.
Dont even need the front locker in the patrol as the traction control is still active up front even when rear locker has been engaged, unlike most other 4wd's eg prado, hilux where when you hit the rear locker the TC up front isnt active which basically means its only the rear locker pushing you through
I'm a hardcore land cruiser guy, but the Patrol gives it some serious competition. I'd respect both, and if offered one over the other, I'd absolutely take it. Both are amazing vehicles, and have their own advantages, so it's hard to choose.
@@jerrymyahzcatI’d call winning the Dakar multiple times in a row heritage. Along with winning Le Mans multiple times in a row heritage. Cool thing Nissan did but what are they doing now!
@@kaidenchetty4572 I wouldn’t call those things winning Dakar or or Le Mans heritage. I’d just call that achievement. Nissan don’t do much let’s be honest. But Toyota aren’t any better.
Patrol is bloody awesome. I don't trust Toyota anymore sorry guy's. Have owned Toyota and Nissan all my life and the Nissan's have proven to be better and safer. Got the TI-L Y62 and absolutely love it and wouldn't pick anything else
Got to agree with you there mate, bought the last of the 4.2 litre Patrols in 2006, did a touch over 1 million kms in it before I sold it, had a 200 series LC and had a turbo fail, transmission problems, cracked chassis just to name a few things, parts and service from Toyota cost me a fortune. They are overpriced and overrated.
Nissan all day. Bullet proof platform, 25k cheaper and just looks better 👌🏼 Admittedly, interior, mainly the dash couldn’t with an upgrade.. coming apparently…

Can’t wait for the Y63. The new Infinity QX80 looks very good. Much better than the LX600. Engine same family as the GT-R engine (from their own words) which is bombproof but with 15 years of technological advancement. I’m sure they’ve learned a thing or two to improve it even further. The transmission is also the 9-speed from the G-wagon but slightly reworked by JATCO who are licensed to do so by Mercedes. Knowing the Japanese they made it even more durable seeing as the Patrol/QX80 is their halo model.
@@Ezone_X Yes. Also, a huge plus is the boot space. You know, a vital part in an off-road long distance vehicle. If you opt for 7-seater in both the LX600 or QX80 (or, 8-seater; double three-row, which is also a option in the QX80), the QX80 boot is much bigger. And just overall much more luxurious. They absolutely nailed it. The Patrol have also arguably always been the better off-roader than the Landcruiser series. And to top it all off, it´s cheaper.
A poor man pays twice. 8.9 v 14.4lts, resale value, after service and parts available, better safety and far far superior tech? The $45k gap is easily closed when added up properly.
In spite of being a Toyota fan, I just can't justify the price difference . And the rumbling V8 is evidently a more pleasant thing to have under a hood. But I am surprised that my old-school opinions and likse are similar to the authors.
I have a Ti Y62 series 5 and the towing capability is incredible.. i tow my camper trailer all over QLD like a kite in the back.. most times i get carried away and i forget I'm towing something.. team Patrol! 💯💪🏾

@@latupeni9797yes it’ll probably be less expensive and better equipped than the Warrior that is a financial mistake.

If you are happy spending more for less, go for it.
@@Flying_GCVery true and well said
Not sure why you would ...diesel with dpf and tight emission regs 👎
Not to mention a laughable 45g difference
no arguments? classic internet user
That's a massive difference in servicing costs, pays for all the extra fuel the Patrol will use for most people. Whilst saving $50k.
You make a good point.
Nissan patrol 🔥
Apple Car play is a no deal for me. but the new Warrior does include it. so, the last of the big V8 will take the win for me everyday of the week.

For me there is no comparison.
Diesel everytime.
the problem is that NISSAN don't have a diesel engine in this Y62
Why is it a problem? It’s only a problem if you think a 4WD must be a diesel.
Problem is the Toyota doesn’t have the Nissan engine.
You can buy a lot of fuel for 45k
It’s a no brainer
Yep. But bear in mind the Toyota LC300 GR Sport has a lot more equipment though.
@@carsales so it should, the Landcruiser is 45k more expensive.

Ah! Yes, we messed up the GFX - the Nissan is free for 5 years, the Toyota costs $99 per year. Back to front.
I think the GWM will be taking over the market, it will take a while for the resales to catch up
nissan is always the go

Our Australian friends are missing out on the updated Patrol interior we have at the Gulf countries. It greatly improves the Patrol's interior.
Australia has developed its own updated infotainment system which is being fitted to all new Y62 Patrols from next month.
Serious offroaders don't care about interiors.
both are very respectful OFF ROAD vehicles, I personally use Nissan TITAN and infiniti QX80, for last 13 years they are amazing.
$10k on the Patrol would get you full digital dash, modern infotainment screen and a front locker basically removing all the shortcomings except fuel cost. Id take the patrol.
They've just bought an update that adds most of that stuff, adds about $3000 to the price in the Australian marketplace.
@carsales do the upgrades get the interior of the patrol on par with the interior offered in the gulf countries?
Dont even need the front locker in the patrol as the traction control is still active up front even when rear locker has been engaged, unlike most other 4wd's eg prado, hilux where when you hit the rear locker the TC up front isnt active which basically means its only the rear locker pushing you through

Y62 is legend. I won't pick Toyota!
That's your preference and that's okay.
What's legendary about it?
@@Investor_philipsWell for starters Nissan crossed The Simpson before Toyota. So there’s that. Sure it wasn’t the Y62 but heritage and all that.
@@jerrymyahzcatI’d call winning the Dakar multiple times in a row heritage. Along with winning Le Mans multiple times in a row heritage. Cool thing Nissan did but what are they doing now!
@@kaidenchetty4572 I wouldn’t call those things winning Dakar or or Le Mans heritage. I’d just call that achievement. Nissan don’t do much let’s be honest. But Toyota aren’t any better.
Patrol is bloody awesome. I don't trust Toyota anymore sorry guy's. Have owned Toyota and Nissan all my life and the Nissan's have proven to be better and safer. Got the TI-L Y62 and absolutely love it and wouldn't pick anything else
Do You use apple by any chance?
Got to agree with you there mate, bought the last of the 4.2 litre Patrols in 2006, did a touch over 1 million kms in it before I sold it, had a 200 series LC and had a turbo fail, transmission problems, cracked chassis just to name a few things, parts and service from Toyota cost me a fortune. They are overpriced and overrated.
@@richarddickinson7788 😱😨
Nissan all day. Bullet proof platform, 25k cheaper and just looks better 👌🏼
Admittedly, interior, mainly the dash couldn’t with an upgrade.. coming apparently…
Yeah 25K cheaper also older and dated, fact but also I agree the LC is a tad expensive.
25k cheaper, try 50k. A GR sport will set you back 150k, the patrol you can get pretty much right on 100k
I will buy the GR SPORT.
I'll buy a Patrol.
Fucken petrol junk
Me too, actually, mines on its way 👍
@@Rossi_21 🤣
Got my TI-L delivered last Sep. Only use it to tow my caravan. Absolutely love it. Pushing 160K onroad cost for the GR Sport. Even after I spent 18k on my mods (180Kg GVM upgrade, airbags, RASLARR front bar, Stedi EVO’s, slimline 100Ah under floor battery, DASH false floor, GME, ARB twin compressor, woodgrain delete, etc, I’m still 40K better off. I have a mate that’s having his GR Sport being built right now, ordered it 19 months ago. I only waited 7 months for my Y62. No brainer for me.
That V8 Nissan Patrol for me.
Can’t wait for the Y63. The new Infinity QX80 looks very good. Much better than the LX600. Engine same family as the GT-R engine (from their own words) which is bombproof but with 15 years of technological advancement. I’m sure they’ve learned a thing or two to improve it even further. The transmission is also the 9-speed from the G-wagon but slightly reworked by JATCO who are licensed to do so by Mercedes. Knowing the Japanese they made it even more durable seeing as the Patrol/QX80 is their halo model.
Agreed, the new generation Y63 could be an absolute pearler. Stay tuned for our tests on that model when it launches!
agreed, and way larger and spacious vs the LX600, got more presence coz of its size
@@Ezone_X Yes. Also, a huge plus is the boot space. You know, a vital part in an off-road long distance vehicle. If you opt for 7-seater in both the LX600 or QX80 (or, 8-seater; double three-row, which is also a option in the QX80), the QX80 boot is much bigger. And just overall much more luxurious. They absolutely nailed it. The Patrol have also arguably always been the better off-roader than the Landcruiser series.
And to top it all off, it´s cheaper.
Reliability, Capability- LC
Reliability, Capability, Value, More Luxury- Patrol Y63
Give me a Patrol any day. Toyota overpriced, ugly and comes with nothing...
How is it ugly and how does it come with nothing if it has way more features than the Patrol?
A poor man pays twice. 8.9 v 14.4lts, resale value, after service and parts available, better safety and far far superior tech?
The $45k gap is easily closed when added up properly.
Y62 4H rock mode is all you need . Will go most places with little effort.
Precisely.
Ah the Y62, a tailgaters dream
Just another Patrol promotion video. New one coming soon. wait to see it. don't spent money on old fuel sucker.
In spite of being a Toyota fan, I just can't justify the price difference . And the rumbling V8 is evidently a more pleasant thing to have under a hood. But I am surprised that my old-school opinions and likse are similar to the authors.
How often you change gear on the automatic Land Cruiser that your water bottle comes in between?
I have fallen in love with this review. This is what a car review should be like!
The LC is heaps more expensive but residual will mean difference isn't as large as sticker price. Patrol looks like a monster if fuel isn't a concern.
Yeah, all thats good but that V8 though........🤤🤤🤤
Y62 all the way
One day I will own the gr sport
I like Nissan patrol...
My hq Holden Ute gos anywhere I want it too
patrol❤❤❤💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Landcruiser service intervals at 6 months!!!!....is that a misprint. Hilarious in this modern age!
Both good but 50k saving wow thats huge, think i would go the Nissan.
But would have to try both
I have a Ti Y62 series 5 and the towing capability is incredible.. i tow my camper trailer all over QLD like a kite in the back.. most times i get carried away and i forget I'm towing something.. team Patrol! 💯💪🏾
