Hi, jump on www.redbook.com.au and look through the private buyers area. That will tell you what years they were made and what engines they came with; plus give a rough guesstimate on prices.

If you want a decent one then be prepared to pay way above Redbook values. ;)

The towing shouldn't be a problem providing you get the 2.8 turbo diesel, buying the 2l petrol would be a mistake IMHO. As far as finding one, they are reasonably rare. Try websites such as www.carsguide.com.au ; www.carpoint.com.au and www.carsales.com.au .

As far as i am aware the Rocky Ute never had a Turbo Diesel as an option, only had a 2.8 NA Diesel apart from the earliest models which also had the Petrol option.


If your planning on towing, might also be worth looking at a MQ/MK Patrol with an SD33 (3.3L Diesel) in it, should be able to find one in the price your looking at it reasonable condition.

There is one near my place (rocky ute) that has had the SOA treatment with custom barwork everywhere and running 31" Baja claws. :cool:

Dont think its for sale though.
Dont expect mere proof to sway my opinion.
