I have to admit, the reason I got out of my GUII Patrol was the Hysteria surrounding the 3.0 TD. Not interested in risking it.

Patrol. cruiser.


I'd go the patrol, dearer to fix and not so much aftermarket, but its cheaper then a cruiser and will do the job just as good if not better.

Dont touch a Landy, even the the only good ones were the Defender and even then they were a pile of.....

what about a older model Jeep Wrangler?

i'd think they'd be able to haul a boat, the I6 they used were tough little motors, pretty reliable as well.

I had one off those, we now refer to it at "The Lemon", I don't think I need to say more as my opinion on those isn't very good, and my opinion was determied by just one car but the experience was terrible.
