Evening all. I'm not a Nissan or Ford owner, but am researching my next car.
Nissan Patrol is what seems to be taking my fancy, so a web search has led me here!

I'm going through the posts one by one and once I've got some questions that I've not found answers to, I'm sure you'll all be sick of me!

Catch you later

7 seats required, so pathfinder or patrol. I've been reading too much about the pathfinder that puts me off them. Patrol I think!

I've seen Terranos go where Patrols bottled it.
