Just for the sake of it, I'll compare my 1984 FSJ with my 2005 STS 4.2 diesel Pootrol.
Lighter? Just
Better Looking? Eye of the beholder maybe
Has history? Yep. Most of it involving zero maintenence and dodgy mods
Better off road? Nope. Pootrol will kill in in nearly every respect.
More comfortable? Pootrol better
Cheaper? Hmmm, $1800 vs $60k, maybe you're right there, but i'm sure there's a reason for it......
Better Fuel economy? What? old school 360 vs old school diesel?
More Fun to drive? Only cos your wondering all the time whats going to fall off or break.
Envy of many? I'd be sure more people are envious of the Patrol rather than the Jeep. Most laugh at the Jeep.
Appreciated by All? Nope greenies hate both.
You forgot reliability/ ease of servicing/parts availability and cost/space/functionality/ease of mods, all these other things go to the Nissan.
But i like the jeep. It has character which the patrol lacks and is cool to drive.
Bugger the fuel economy and all the mod cons.
