6 MOST WANTED 4WD, Which is REALLY BETTER?

[@bradnation7934]

Hey mate just watched your review. Now a truck towing 60T of fuel is not heavier than its load. I've had 200 series, ram, patrol etc towed large boats and caravans. Now I had a van it weighed 3.9T empty. Un modified 200 series towed it easily and stable. But wanted to be compliant, brought a Ram and fuck me I was on the wrong side of the road trying to tow with this van. I now have a Mercedes, and I find it to be the best tow vehicle I've ever experienced. (ML 63) It blows my mind that I wasted so much money on the Japan cars and a second hand cheap Merc blows them all away.

[@gibbethoskins8621]

The 70 with an interior upgrade, coil conversion and rear axle correction is pretty much unbeatable... But should come with all that stock for the price.

[@paulvictor9368]

If I can have my choice of one vehicle to do it all, it would be the 300 series. The 2.8 is just too small for towing. My second choice would be the new Prado.

[@DavesIneosGrenadier]

The AUS NB1 Quartermaster Cab Chassis (base trim) Petrol has a kerb weight of 2,446kg & the Diesel has a kerb weight of 2,527kg both including 90% fuel tank full & all other fluids at the correct level. The total gross weight of both versions is 3,550kg Higher trim levels do have a higher kerb weight. E.g. Trialmaster with dual battery, tow pack, additional wiring, RAI, KO2 tyres, diff locks, smooth pack, all adds approx. 100kg. So with load capacity is 1,104 kg & 1,023 kg respectively with 81 litres of fuel. Most manufacturers either don't include the fuel or don't state if it does or not when they quote a kerb weight. So if you add a Norweld canopy & tray at 289 kg and the extras for Trialmaster spec at 100 kg that still leaves 700 kg & 625 kg respectively. Logic says you would add an extended fuel tank at the same time.

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

Ronny, I think you are quoting a Ram TRX. There are Ram Tradesman in the $90 K range and you left out Ram 2500 as an option.

[@jimbrock8977]

Ay Ronny A consideration regarding payload weights is whatever is being towed, at least 10% of that weight lands on the towball and therefore contributes to reducing the available payload. So, if towing a 3t van there’s an extra (at least) 300kgs added to the vehicle weight.

[@casper6800]

On the towing segment: Having towed a 3.5 ton trailer (loaded to that weight) multiple times now with a Grenadier, I feel comfortable in saying it tows like a dream. I have had one moment where my trailer was behaving a bit sketchy, but that was on account myself doing a bad job at loading it, and the weight was way too far back, but there were three 750kg prefab concrete slabs on my trailer so I couldnt just move them forward a few centimeters.

[@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing]

@casper6800 the grenadier looks like a luxury car in person

[@casper6800]

@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing It definitely has a lot of luxurious features. But if the brochure says it can tow 3.5 ton, you can be damn sure Im going to pull 3.5 ton with it. And on the topic of luxury, arguably, Im stepping down. Since my previous car for towing was a Disco 4, which also pulls 3.5 ton but is a lot less forgiving due to its lower tongue weight rating (350kg vs 150kg)

After extensive research for a grey nomad multiple big laps use case, the best solution was an LC300 GXL with a pre rego Lovells 3800 gvm upgrade, which also increased the CGM as a bonus.

[@johnflynn556]

One important question, how many dogs will you be taking with you? When you are discussing towing capability, you should also check the GCM as well as GVM.

[@ExpatonTwoWheels]

The reason the payload is so low on the RAM is Australian license laws. In the US, the GVM and GVCM is way higher. In Australia, you need a truck license to drive them loaded up. Some people convert them to truck rego and get way more use out of them, but not many people have that license.

[@Sabumnim666]

The pay load is not marked down in Australia all the American 150 size trucks have a low pay load that is why there are gvm upgrades available. The 250 class is certainly marked down to fit to the Australian ADR and licensing.

Good lineup of vehicles that would be on most peoples starting list to narrow down. I've owned a V8 76 series, and they are not a family car. I think the new 4 cyl would be good with some comfort suspension, interior upgrades, and sound deadening but still have the axle correction issue. I think that if considering a 76, a 250 series prado base model GX with GVM upgrade would be a more comfortable and cheaper option to a 76 series GXL with additions to make it comfy(ish). Keen to see what Y63 is like also, they are very roomy and fuel prob not that bad compared to 200/300 series, cheers.

The term “fit for purpose” is a term used in fleet management. That term covers a range of requirements and also includes “whole of life costs” and “oppertunity cost” ie forgoing one oppertunity for another.

If we are only putting these 6 on the table for my own choices, then I would only pick two. The two I would choose is the Y63 Patrol and the Grenadier. Why those two? Well let's start with the Patrol. Here in the states we do not call it a Patrol, but instead the Armada. I can tell you that it is a straight out Luxury Vehicle that can haul a family around town and on long trips as needed. Also here in the States(who knows about Down Under) it is being equipped with the VR Series Engine which was introduced in the Nissan GTR. It is a powerhouse with great reliability based off the VQ Series Engine. Of course you still need to do the maintenance or it will fail(and that applies to any vehicle you have). That said I would not bother taking it OffRoad. It tells me that it doesn't belong there. As for the Ineos Grenadier, I would have fun with that as a Tourer. I'm pretty sure anyone here would enjoy that simply for the classic look and the way it was designed. The review you have given so far makes that pretty cool to understand, but I'm not going out and buying one as I do enjoy my 2012 D40 Frontier. Why not a Ram? Because I have seen how much they are truly not worth. They are absolute garbage. Why not a Toyota? I have way too many reasons here, but let's just go off of the good old Toyota Tax!! Way too many individuals think I should over pay for something that does not get that great of fuel range(at least in the states) and definitely doesn't have the power. Also let's face it...... You pay how much for a 70 Series and get how much? I can't justify the price. It just doesn't make sense.

When such an “open ended” question gets asked , something exactly like this: the response , situation depending , should be and is usually the most unlikely one that a person would least expect.

The collab with an Australian 4x4 riders company, offering customisation to 12 or 24v system, crawl modes , harness options if that’s a route you’d want to go.

Differences in range and payload are important for tourers. Has me thinking more strongly for the ineos but then why not just go for the 300 for pretty much same $$$. Difficult AF. And at the end of the day if you spend 100k you want a few luxuries and tech in the car for that sprt of money. And then you gotta take it down the track and commit to what that might entail.

Keep the Pajero, save your money

Grenadier I want to drive myself but the vehicle you have I would buy!

[@MultiShizmo]

250 prado! Been on the waiting list for more than a year.

[@Corey-pd3mi]

Prado is best, you get all the capability for less cost

[@emu4wd]

I just took delivery of my first 300. It’s good but a bit underwhelmed. It’s a boring drive but the fuel consumption is around 10.3. Not bad for it. I’d have got a ram except it wouldn’t fit in the garage! Steve 🇦🇺

Next time, test drive a new defender. I guarantee you will be impressed

Where is the F150,250 and the Silverado? I just checked and found that a F150 2023 XLT SWB for $118,783 drive away (LWB is $119,833). A Lariat LWB version comes in at $154,648 drive away. All have 4.5 ton towing and are 3.5L V6 10 speed Auto. I wish they were manuals.

[@jorobson1]

Why would you want a manual transmission in a American truck? The 10 speed auto is great and leave a manual well behind.

250 Prado has 110l tank dude

[@Kjhgr01]

How do get the 110L fuel tank on a 2024 250 Prado? We only get the 67L?

[@Marks.Reviews]

@BatmanRZ is correct. Like the 300 series, uses the same TNGA platform, that’s how they get the same tank size as the 300 series. Co op toyota confirms this tank amount.

[@Mookiemadskillz]

I'd love to see a second hand older vehicle version of this. Everything I want to do would void the new vehicle warranty

[@JohnEnright-s5y]

I thought the new Prado 250 has a 110 litre fuel tank. If so it would significantly alter the range ranking (currently own a 2023 Prado with dual tanks)

[@petero1]

it does. Ronny got this one wrong.

[@Car-crazy]

​@petero1 Actually it doesn't it actually only has an 80L fuel tank. I checked on Toyota's website here in Japan.

[@petero1]

@@Car-crazy I have specs issued by Toyota Australia to my dealer. It lists 110l between two tanks, just like the 300 series. It better be right since I am committed 🙂

[@Car-crazy]

@@petero1 seems like the tank size is different for different countries. Seems a bit strange that, but maybe due to Australia being so big, they put a bigger fuel tank I suppose.

[@KlausVillaca]

I don’t know, but have friends that own a Ram and none of them did pay 140 to have it on the road. The big horn is 115k driveway. Now I will have to look for all the other cars price.

Got a built 80s, looking for a 60s to sit alongside the big 80 and will be my daily, enough said.
