I had been looking for a tow vehicle for 3 tonne, Tried all the NEW, utes and thought, yuk. I want to sell my 2011 hilux for this. So disappointing. On a whim, I thought, let's try the patrol. Wholey shirt. This is it. Luxury, and handles the task. I went home looked at patrol y62, this that .. Fuel per 100,.. yes, this, that. Reliability , Pros con's. Blah blah..... blah.... Watched quite a few you tube videos from different directions. Internet.... I watched a few videos from Dash too, that popped up. Very informative, Not the only ones. . But yes.. Great that he and Steve from Australian 4x4 adventures, compare vehicles. Brilliant. I'm convinced, Nissan patrol, Y 62. Thanks mate, Thank you for the information.... from, the horses mouth.. Loving the y62. Big time. Cheers, Dave. NSW.

Dash, sorry to see your old Y62 go. Your channel is probably the best channel on Y62 modifications --- super informative and covers all the minor details. I have to say your channel definitely swayed my decision on getting a Infiniti QX80, which is the closest we can get here in the US. QX80's factory suspension geometry is slightly less off road capable than Y62, but we can still apply the OnTrack HBMC lift to improve it. I also like the weight-aware approach you take on mods, it definitely helps the car handling better in all scenarios. Keeps up the great work!

Thanks for Dave’s videos. I finally jump on board being a Y62 owner. Y62 is way under rated in Australia. One reason is many KZbin channels are “bought” by Toyota. Many people are just brainwashed. They just believe LC200 is better than Y62 on everything. And they also believe LC200 is way more reliable than a Nissan. But finally we have someone jump out showing up the fact. Nissan should seriously consider to give Dave some benefits/discount. Btw, Dave I also have a NP300. Haha. Once you got series5. We will have the same combo then.

Looking at forums and videos (even though it’s limited), I would want to see more builds so that we QX56/Qx80/Armada/Patrol can get a leg up on Mother Nature! 😝 keep up the great work and Nissan needs to give you a FREE VEHICLE for your contribution!! 🙃

In the US we have the Patrol (well close) with the Nissan Armada and the Infiniti QX80. The Armada comes with more of a standard suspension setup, although it has rear air shocks. The Infiniti has the HBMC suspension. Which one would you chose and what are the pros/cons of both? I apologize if you had a video that touched on this and I just missed it.
