From what ive noticed, these are the best cars to drop the kids at school, and go to the shops
You obviously donât get off road much then. Also just because they are used for school runs doesnât mean they donât have a 3.5T van hanging off them on weekends or holidays. Mine is my every day drive as well, but gets used for towing and off road
Like pretty much ALL SUVs. They are just glorified minivans for 95% of the population (who should actually be driving minivans).
@@Stevegrande1 News flash, most people don't do that.
@@ckm-mkc what you know everyoneâs personal life and what they do in their time off ?? Yea righto
@@Stevegrande1 They understand probability and statistics though. Clue is in the use of the word âmostâ.
A few of the Mums at our local school drive these. They will go up and down gutters and over roundabouts time and time again, without anything letting go. The acceleration and speed of these things is without par... at 8.55 am. The same at 3.15 pm. Fuel use isn't a consideration when you have a company credit card and you work in accounts part time.
The ride quality is comfortable enough to ensure that you won't spill the Gin & Tonic that you have in your "water bottle". Visibility is somewhat of a problem with these machines, with many mums being unable to visually detect anything outside of the cabin other than other mums in Range Rovers, a.k.a. "Bitches", however the three generously proportioned rear view mirrors are ideal for applying lipstick and mascara and touching up one's hair.
There are some electrical gremlins. Many mums find the infotainment system difficult to negotiate and a forced to drive around with their 'phone stuck to one ear. This isn't an issue as they can multitask, but it might be worth considering if your male and purchasing one of these.
There's also a particular electrical fault that you should be aware of. Indicators suffer from frequent malfunctions. They often don't work in urban environments, but at highway speeds they never seem to work at all. This is why you often see these vehicles stuck in the right lane, doing 105kmh, as they are unable to safely return to the left lane.
There have been a lot of reports of whining in the rear seats but this is an easy fix. Just have another swig of water. The cargo bay is quite large, but not as large as something like a Kia Carnival. Coles deliver and the kids can get a ride to sports with their friends or stay home. The Patrol comes equipped with plenty of hiding spots for prescription medications if you're the sort of person that doesn't want to be left short should one of the kids be in detention, again. Hope this helps if anyone is considering one of these.
Well done Ha Ha
I think you overdid it.
Theyâre hardly even a popular âmumâs taxiâ.
This would have been more appropriate for an Audi Q or BMW X car, or the Range Rover you mentioned.
I donât think even Nissan would expect the customer for Patrol to be a woman. This is a blokes car. Just like a Land Cruiser.
I appreciate the humour but curious to know if you own a 4wd? Cheers
@@alex98b627 That is a fair critique and a fair observation. I have no hard feelings toward you for that.
We have a couple of them in town (central Victoria). One of them is driven by a gentleman that thinks that he's driving a McClaren. Boy, does it sound good!
The other one is driven by the quintessential "soccer mum". It doesn't matter where you see her, she looks like a fish out of water in the thing. And she knows it.
But yes, the BMW/Range Rover thing is more fitting, as you say.
@@cyclemoto8744 A two wheel drive two seater BT50 tray and a '98 Honda Civic.
My wife is currently in negotiations for a Suzuki Jimny, so there could well be a 4WD
in the driveway in the near future.
Drove a new model y62 recently and the way it piles on speed for the size of the car is incredible!!! The noise these things make with an exhaust is beautiful aswell, value for money I'd take one of these over a cruiser for sure
these v8s SCREAM!! they sound sensational
For a big vehicle, stock just on 300kw and will haul its arse from zero to 100 in under 7 seconds.
There's one that gets around my way. I presume that it has an aftermarket exhaust on it, and boy, does it prick your ears up. It sounds like a super car and the bloke that owns it drives it like one.
@@davidbrayshaw3529 - does he have a dumb haircut and tatts too?
Best V8 out there for the price
Saw one with "Love Petrol Stations" under number plate.
One quote I'd heard. "They will going anywhere except pass a petrol station."
ignorant goat
I get a thousand kms a tank long drives. I got mates with the 200 and fuel consumption between the two is pretty much on par. If you boot the fuck out of it yeah you're going eat juice
There is a pastor in my town who wants to buy my Toyota. He is getting rid of this monster because it loves petrol station visitations. đ.
@@paulgreenhalgh899 can confirm. Owned both previously. The Nissan loves to guzzle the fuel. Highway consumption is shit house compared to the 200.
Iâve had mine for 10 years now and still love the drive. Itâs why Iâve kept it. Inside I forget its age.
Timing chain and paint aside it has been a good vehicle. Extractors and a 3â stainless exhaust were the best thing I ever did to it. I wish Iâd done it sooner, plus the extra horse power from the reprogram. Yahoo!
Iâm not looking forward to saying goodbye but its time is almost up with me. I will miss that motor and that sound when itâs gone. I just got back from a solo drive across Australia and it was brilliant.
My god those wheels are horrid
Agreed, and I drive a Patrol.
I bet if the owner reads your comment, they will be taken off asap đ
looks like he took it to los santos customs
And body work ....the engine and it's noise it's all it has as an appeal
I like them ,different strokes for different blokes đ
I have been waiting for this for so long...finally!
Thank you for making the IS300 video.
I finally got myself a IS300h 2017 Premier using all the information in your video.
Absolutely love the car! Keep making these great videos
Is that a V6? That things is amazing.
Definitely given food for thought though I'm going to stay out of the Patrol vs Cruiser war.
Had to smirk at the safety features overview on this one.
Hullsy looked like a kid at Christmas when he was talking about the supercharger in these things.
Looking forward to Sunday's video as per usual guys and keep up the good work as well đ.
From 21 upwards both the Ti and til have the exact same safety features with full airbag/curtains for all rows, radar cruise, rear traffic cross alert, emergency braking frontal collision, lane departure, lane centring etc. itâs all there.
@@Stevegrande1 I was smirking at how the overview was done in it not what the Y62 had
Great job. Had me in stitches boys. Jim was like a kid in a candy store!
Love ours.. bought new in 22â .. traded up from a 200 series Landcruiser and have never looked back, the patrol does everything better than the 200 series did along with so much more interior room.
As much as I think patrol is better but I wonder why most people choose LC.
Because of the Landcruiser being a diesel.. funny thing is that the petrol v8 uses the same amount of fuel as our old twin turbo v8 diesel 200 series when towing the caravan.
The lc200 is way better than the patrol in terms of reliability and aftermarket support.
Also consider that the lc200 maintains resale value better
And a Big Big Thank You to DASH for his research and perseverance to develop an amazing after market list of mods.
Ive never met him or own a Y62 (yet) but he is the go to for CZcams and tricking out your Patrol.
Happy Friday.
So true absolute legend đ
Not everything this man says is correct. He also knows it. He is a salesman
Great work. You really put in a fantastic effort on this segment
Cheers mate!
Like you said at the end mate for the money nothing comes close. We have done some pretty hard 4 wheel driving and touring as well as towing a 3.2 ton van. Can see the adventures on our channel here but man could not be happier with the y62 and the v8 sound đ
Wicked review mate! I'd love to see you do a Mitsubishi Challenger review. As I feel they are heavily underrated as a 4x4 wagon.
Best car review channel hands down.
Love that sound
Never fail to make me laugh AK. âI suddenly have an immense disregard for everyone outside the carâ LOL
these are great. I enjoy mine here in the Philippines and we have the updated infotainment 12 inch system
i bought a 22 y62 6 months ago and ive loved every second of it. installed a stainless exhaust and it sound amazing and hauls arse.
Any idea on when the post 2020 Prado video is dropping @Redriven
Didnt get the other video link at the end in the top RH corner. Surely its the 2UZFE 4.7L 100 series?
I'm Nissan tech. The fan issue is cover for free by Nissan. Before Nissan will replace the viscous fan hub under warranty but now they just do software update to fix the issue.
Yes 100% covered under warranty
only (new) nissan that id buy
Yep so half arsed âfixâ using software change. Typical Nissan. This is why we buy Toyotas because Toyota do proper recalls and proper fixes
@@LukeBeachCouch holy shit i hope your kidding lol
â@@LukeBeachCouchreally mate lol let's see how they fix 100k engines in the US with metal in the engine
I have one love it, great long distance tour,
If youâre worried about fuel consumption, donât buy V8 !
If you worried about driving around the city, donât buy one
If you donât like woodgrain donât buy one (I still did)
Did you make reference to Queer Eye on a 4wd video? I'm clearly triggered. I'm off to BCF to buy something to bolt to my 4WD to re-establish my small bandwidth of manhood...before I develope a taste for ccooo- small coffees.
Hey Adam what happened to that pointer you used to use on interiors ? The one with the little hand on the end .. you should bring it back.
the v8 sound soo good and thats enough to make me buy it
So you're telling me that you don't eat ice-cream with a steak knife?? đ
I was looking at the y62 and was keen to buy one. But when my local Toyota dealer rang me and said they had a 21 200 series with 39k on the clock. I almost died and went to heaven, I hadnât even bothered looking for a 200 because I thought Iâd get one with hundreds of ks on it.
200 sits in my garage now and the y62 was never bought.
wise choice
Have you done a review on the 2010 navara d 22 with the 2.5 turbo diesel motor
Edit, your âpremium fuel requirementâ comment is incorrect. Takes 95 but can also run on 91 albeit reduction in power.
I love your channel and your website, and your content. I watched so many of your videos before deciding what to buy and what to look for. I trust you when it comes to advice. but please stop charging people 29$ for a 2$ PPSR check. I see so many website do that, but I thought you were one of the good guys.
"this engine and the sound of it".. I agree
I found i was getting 12-14L per hundred on stock wheels and 16-18L once i went to 35s, which totally change the driving experience, im not sure if i would go 35s again.
Middle East gets the best LC's and Patrols
The Nissan 'Batrol' are an institution in the UAE. These things have more road prestige than a Ferrari. They also follow their own road rules here - where indicating is optional and any smaller vehicle is a speed bump. These things are an absolute workhorse though. They are beloved and feared in equal measure.
Very happy with my 2021 here in Dubai. We get more options for trim etc, as you said, and the 2021 'Titanium' has a great interior, gone is the fake wood look. Nothing comparable in the 2nd hand market prices for a big reliable SUV if you ask me.
You've done the 70 series, 60 series and 200 series land cruisers. When do we get to see the 80 series.
can you guys do a review on a saab 9-3 aero?
Talking of people buying/modifying 4wds who are never going to take them off road, my neighbour bought a DMAX x thingy with all the tough kit. Besides washing it 10 times a week he ended up buying a Falcon cab chassis because he "needed a ute"đ
Hearing about the interior issues is wild to me, as someone's whos had both Nissan and Toyotas, I've always found Nissans to be sturdier and comfier in general, while Toyota's will feel basic, yet functional.
Someone I follow on tiktok one of these, sounds brilliant with an exhaust lol.
Hi, does this review also apply to QX80?
Both my 1999 and 2011 gu wagons have the door locking issue too
Who tf buys a 5.6L V8 for fuel economy?
Someone cross shopping a v10
A Saudi Prince or your average American. Anything else that I can help you with?
đđđ
P.s as of 2019 S5 update all Ti models came with BSM , lane keep assist & radar cruise.
A couple of incorrect things, the Ti series 5 21 upwards has all the same safety gear as the Til, cross traffic alert etc. the radar cruise control is also standard in the 21 upwards. The viscous fan is covered under warranty if it plays up while under warranty (5 years) Under 12 litres per 100 is 100% achievable on a stock standard patrol on the freeway cycle. Cv problems is generally on some thing running 35âs and copping a hard time. I havenât heard of any troubles with the central locking or windows, but yes the rear tail gate soft close can play up but it fixed in 2 minutes by resetting it by disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes. The standard Ti stereo works fine and the sound isnât too bad, the Bose in the Til has now been discontinued in the upgraded head unit, so has the 360 cameras in both the Ti and til, stupid move by Nissan. They have now put the centre fridge in the Ti range which is a bonus and work extremely well. They are actually easy to park due to the good visibility from the drivers seat. Value for money they are still great compared to a gx 300 series with rubber flooring for over 100k. You can pick up a Ti 24 spec for still low to mid 80âs.
For the price of used Y62 Patrol in this video, I'd go look for the Lexus LX570. It's got the naturally aspirated V8 to match, if not slightly larger. Quality is another reason too.
The Lexus is an old school V8 and doesn't have direct injection like the Patrol. They use a lot more fuel and have less power.
Iâve owned both, the patrol is a better car to live with over all. Itâs bigger in every way yet drives smaller with much lighter steering itâs easier to drive and park. You donât have to use âpremiumâ fuel this is just recommended for best performance. It will drive all day every day on 91ron. They may be âpopularâ now but they werenât always and you could pick them up much cheaper than they are going for now, if you got one pre Covid you can probably sell it still for about what you paid for it.
Please drop the g20 2019+ bmw 3 series video
Not sold in Japan, surprisingly. It was called the Safari and sold OK for about 27 years, but after 2007 they discontinued it because it's not necessary to drop kids off at school.
Bulldust it's required for school drop offs
Does it have a DPF warning light? Enough said
I love that tanned leather, they're pretty rare.
All leather seats are tanned..
If I was to buy another, Black and Tan or Hermosa Blue and Tan. Love it
Jim failed to mention that patrol owners can go horribly wrong with choosing after market wheels đ
They are fucking mint, I had a 2019 model, I sold it to buy a house but I definitely want another one
With petrol prices on the up, so hard to biy a vehicle like this one... Though i would love to.
Are these the American equivalent of the armada?
See a lot of these at Saturday kids Netball. They take up 1.5 l parking spots,
that's before the kids in the back swing the Doors open and they all pile out.
in the middle east these r soo different they do have a better infotainment system. leather finish and this have a mini fridge infront and tv for the passengers at the back
While working at a Nissan dealership on the gold coast 2 years ago, I was tasked to drive this car around the corner to get it washed, I had no clue about a thing about these patrols. Don't like Nissan's, and thought this was just another diesel 4 or 6 cylinder ugly piece of shit, right up until I pressed the start button and was greeted with the sound of a V8 supercar. The level of suprise, dare I say, euphoria I experienced hearing the motor for the first time is something I still Gish over till this day, clearly. The way it leans back when you plant the throttle is hilarious too đ€Ł. Don't like the interior, not a fan of the early exteriors, but I would totally spend the money for one if I needed a big fourbie for the engine alone đ€Ł.
Add a centre sports muffler and get rid of the huge factory muffler for under $300 gives them a nice rumble as well when you plant the foot đđ
are you an accountant? I ask because I'm curious to know how you found yourself working in a Nissan dealership without any basic knowledge of their product line. Cheers
@@cyclemoto8744 I was a working at the car wars at a big dealership that sold Nissan's. Was in the Nissan part for a bit
@@benwelter8890 thanks for taking the time to respond. cheers
Haha at the end when you point to "this alternative" there isn't one in the video and that may be true in reality as well.
before infiniti exit AU market, that would be a great chance to buy the qx.
Still waiting on the used y60 patrol video :(
alternative?
One of the shorter what goes wromg segment in a while.
nothing compares to it. it is in a class of it's own
Yes.
Haha posted a question last night about why you havenât reviewed a y62.
VK56 has been around in one way or another for 20 yrs. Extremely durable. Many sold and covered mega mileages in the US in Nissan Titans and Armadas. Never heard of the timing chain issues, you should put numbers on it. have their been 10 cases, 100 or a 1000? Sounds like there are far more problems with the 200 series listening to your review. Why are they so expensive? Makes no sense.
This tank! đ
Remind of the time when the Porsche Cayenne came out and the mothers had the V8 dropping kids off while having red wine in their pump water bottle.
I purchased a brand new MY21 of these for 76k on roads. The prices they go for now are ridiculous
Still cheaper than a 300 series gx for over 100k with rubber flooring. Still great value for money. You can still by them new for low to mid 80âs
@@Stevegrande1 and thatâs the point a lot of people miss. The massive price differences pay for a lot of fuel. The shrinking engine size on the LC is weakening it in the heavy tow market and the price rise starts to put it near big US monster utes that donât need GVM upgrades.
had a friend with one that went electrically haywire when whatever was plugged into the tow plug had issues. but out outside of that. amazing but thirsty
The trailer plug can be a problem if it gets moisture in it, if your trailer has a shitty earth, thatâs generally the main cause.
@@Stevegrande1 water triggered his yes
The premium that a LC asks over this makes zero sense. Patrol any day and use the $50k change for fuel.
I want!
Is that a Datsun 1200?
Our neice owns one of these and Nissan Patrol and they are enormous vehicles
l think 20L/100 is pretty acceptable considering the old V6 petrol Pathfinders chewed through the same amount of fuel and nowhere near as much power as this. At least Nissan has finally done something right over the last 25 years!
That 125,000km of range is assuming the 200 uses 0 fuel. You basically will never get that difference back. However, it's possible when you go to sell the LC200 will still be worth more so you might get some back.
absolutely
I keep my Y61 thanks
I agree, loose the maggots, they look a bit South Auckland !!đ đ
I'd like to own the manual transmission from Y62
Nice pride wallpaper on your ph
They sound better
They should get a new generation before the end of the year, Infiniti has already unveiled the all-new QX80. Unfortunately, they're going to ditch the V8 for a 3.5 twin turbo V6 and a 9 speed automatic transmission.
The V6 twin turbo will kick the V8âs butt, itâs the sound of the V8 will make people still want the 8
@Stevegrande1 the twin turbo V6 has 50hp over the outgoing V8, but it's pulling a (potentially) heavier vehicle, so I don't think the power increase will be significantly noticeable over the V8. We'd have to look for comparison videos between the old one with the V8 and the new one with this V6.
@@damilolaakanni yes a comparison will be good to see đđđ»đ»
Hey at least we get them here in the USA (aka Armada)..... Can't say that about the 70 series đ
So much better value for moeny than a cruiser!
Rather a MY19 LC200 V8 petrol over this, reliability, resale & quality
200 series V8 is a slug compared to the engine in the patrol, and donât use as much fuel as the 4.6 or the 4.7 in the cruiser. Engine wise both are reliable.
Video on the D22 please boys
Video not required, they are either too old, or with the YD25 should not be considered. Speaking as a former D22 owner.
Casioak! đ
Looks like a bread loaf that raised too much and bulged out of the pan. Then kept going.
I thought the 150 landcruiser was ugly until I saw this ,thank God the UK never got this, and I'm not a Shiite rover fan I'll stick with my shogun
You couldn't afford it in the uk.
Despite 5hat lovely soundy engine, Id take a landcruiser over this any day.
They are just too thirsty. I don't want a vehicle that beats me up and steals my wallet every time I go somewhere.
Nissan "Booty Warrior"
It looks nice from the outside but the inside is horrible. Ancient looking with 80's technology.
What money you save over landcruiser you can use on fuel. Youâll need every cent you can get your hands on to put fuel in it every week. Sorry every few daysâŠ
Or get a 2UZ Lexus for a third of the price, better interior and a car that doesn't look like... well, a Y62 lol
