looking at getting a swb patrol would prefer diesel as i have had diesels before and know how good they are off road but hard to find for the right price so can somone tell me please how good are the petrols (carbie) are off road that is up down hills etc this well be a play only so the cost of fuel is not a real issue as this will be doing trips that would break my 80series (diesel) and looking at doing nav runs in the swb so think the petrol for a little more (or hell of a lot more) go fast and would love to winch events if the wallet will allow

a nice turbo diesel swb are dearer than a petrol for a reason ;) . they Go plenty fast enough anyway, if you want more put in some 4.6 centres for extra pickup

Cheers
