A diesel 30-40 years ago required basically no wiring and had very little emissions gear to strangle it, it’s a totally different story now. A modern diesel has just as much sensitive electronics and wiring to go bad in a water crossing as petrol and blowby combined with EGR and DPFs chokes them up. One other factor is that diesel is a safer fuel to store and carry extra in Jerry cans…

The point was the negative aspects of petrol were always over emphasized and the simpson trip absolutely confirmed it. Petrol evaporates at a lower temp fact, however it's not what people think it is (refuelers are actually issued phones to use around all types of planes). I have an old pushrod v8 diesel but after driving a Y62, i'm interested.

Gasoline engines are not bad, is the same with other good 4x4s, I haven´t heard anyone here thinking that they need diesel variants.

It's not about spinning wheels. Diesels traditionally had much more low rev torque which is what you want when hill crawling. And there is plenty of overtaking power in a V6 turbo diesel. Throttle controllers make it even better (for both petrol and diesel).

@kentgriffiths6288 17 күн бұрын

When I bought my first Jeep back in 2014 one of the main reasons was because it was one of the only 4WDs available in petrol. I also worked out that the difference in fuel usage vs the extra cost of the diesel equivalent meant that I'd need to do around 80,000km before the diesel payed itself off. On top of all that, fuel systems on a petrol are a lot less fussy about fuel quality and a heck of a lot cheaper to replace components. I've always said, unless you plan on towing at maximum capacity every day where you want peak torque lower in the revs then you don't need a diesel.

Sand or mud, go for a petrol as you'll thank the wheel speed for getting you out of a bog or up a dune. Rock crawling and off-cambered ruts, go for a diesel, as you'll thank the torque down low in the rev range to pull you up and over obstacles at a slow and controlled pace. Towing, go for a diesel. Mostly city driving, then go for a petrol. Unless you do many kms per trip, then the fuel price and consumption savings a diesel can get you can be outweighed by its higher maintenance costs.

Considering nearly no modern petrol has a distributor anymore and a common rail diesel has way more sensitive fuel system components than a petrol its pretty much break even on water crossings until you swap it. Nearly always you can pull the plugs on a petrol clear the cylinders, swear a little, pray a little and it'll light back up again. Swamp a common rail diesel you'll lose your sanity trying to get the injectors out trail side when you do if it doesn't crank your done, it's repairs expensive enough to wright the car off time.

Ahh, this is a fun one. Over here in the US as you guys may have noticed, diesels are quite a bit more rare to see on the trail. when you do see one, its a decent chance of being a conversion from a petrol engine. I swapped in a 1.9 VW TDI into a Suzuki Samurai,. the one advantage I had with the diesel is that its governed by the injection pump rather than only human controlled. You could leave your foot off the accelerator and let it idle, then as you start loading it up the governor would maintain RPM. it would even start to build boost in the right conditions with no driver input! combine this with the incredible responsiveness of a diesel and it made technical tight driving in rocks easier. Now, there were downsides. Cost was insane. on-highway performance was the same or less than the other common engine swaps. gearing in the transmission, transfer case and axles were incorrect for a diesel and no way to improve it without some serious cash. I'll tell you this; i sold that rig and bought another. the new one will not be getting a diesel, but rather a petrol.

Having gone from a petrol to a diesel fourby (both 20-25 years old) i would definitely go back to running a petrol. Sure I do 7L/100km better in the diesel but that cost of fuel has been cancelled out by the cost in diesel repairs. Diesel parts cost so much more than petrols: turbo, fuel pump, injectors are all huge cost items but there’s nothing on a petrol that’ll cost half what any of those big ticket items would

You guys make so many great points, especially the crossing of deep water. The other benefit of a petrol in a water crossing is if it hydro locks, you are less likely to bend rods & destroy your motor due to the lower compression. They are also easier to drain afterwards. I recently did an engine conversion to my 2004 GU because the ZD30 died. It was cheaper for me to fit an LS1 V8 than it was going to be to rebuild the 3L diesel. My LS GU uses more fuel than the ZD30 around town, but when towing it shits all over it, & has the power to safely overtake. When out wheeling, the fuel usage is within a few litres of my mates ZD30.

When buying my 100 series 5 years ago here in NZ I was in this exact situation to decide between diesel and petrol. I was set on the FTE until I started working out the cost compared to the 2UZ. Yes the petrol uses 4-5 litres more fuel but servicing cost was almost half and the initial vehicle cost for the petrol was around 15k less than the diesel. Took both for a drive and the 2UZ blew the FTE away in standard form. I could not see where the extra value for the diesel was. All I found was the very image portraying people were the ones saying the petrols are no good and need to get a diesel to be proper 4by… oh I feel so sorry for those people

Pretty much every highway is 70mph (110kph-ish) speeds, most are higher. The diesels in midsize pickups just don’t have enough at those speeds to have any extra passing power. Most of them would disappointed if they had one here. We had the Chevy Colorado diesel and there’s a reason it only lasted a few years and it wasn’t emissions.

Always great to see father and son doing a vid together. Funny video from the states. The option for a diesel 4x are almost nil. And the ones that have come out got cancelled due to issues. Just not a thing here in the states. However I wish I could get an engine that sounds as good as the 30!

Got a 1989 2h 60 series sitting waiting as a project. Wasnt started for 5 yrs. Replaced the hand primer. New battery. Kicked it over and it ran straight away. I bet if i let my 06 hilux sit 5 yrs it wouldnt start. To many electronics that wouldnt survive i’m guessing. Thats what i like about the old diesels. Simplicity.

Petrol for me. I had my ever reliable turbo diesel prado for 12 years with many beach trips and never missed a beat, I loved that car. Took the plunge and bought a Y62 a year ago and it’s a totally different experience, great power, effortless on the beach. Get about 16l per 100 on the road and 20 on the beach or towing. Petrol and y62 for the win.

I should mention every service on the Prado for the last year I had it was costing $1000 minimum.

I’ve had a v8 petrol 100series landcruiser Absolutely loved it 11-12ltr/100ks Maximum of 20ltrs/100 even when heavy towing and driving the piss out of it 400,000ks and no issues at all Brilliant car The running cost of that was far less than my 1hz 80s I’ve now got a ranger and still my v8 cruiser would be more economical and far better than my ranger I’ve also got a 2.7ltr hilux 4wd 12ltr/100 going back n forth to work Ultra reliable All my diesel vehicles have cost me a fortune My ranger is due for a set of injectors ( ouch) The hilux still has the originals after 24yrs My choice would be petrol every time

We run a 4.7 V8 petrol Landcruiser here in New Zealand. In NZ we have a road users tax that applies to diesel (but not petrol ) - that tax combined with the current fuel prices makes petrol the right choice. Added to that is petrol's instant performance - it's a no-brainer. Not to mention a diesel LC costs twice that of a petrol LC. And that 25k difference is a hell of a lot of petrol. Diesel has always been my go-to for working machinery - but doing the math these days, petrol is actually the better option. :)

Myself and my daughter have 60 series Land Cruisers, mine a FJ with 3F hers a HJ with 2H. We went from SA to FNQ a couple of years ago, all loaded to gvm, both on "33, the difference in fuel use was around 2 to 4 litres/100 depending, but no more. But then there is service costs, the 3F is much cheaper and less frequent than the 2H. When we got to Qld she had a bad batch of fuel and the thing was smoking black crap bad, needed new filters, injector cleaner etc. I bought a litre of metho. In the end there is actually very little difference in between the two. Apart from the 3F having more power. The 3F has done more than 700k km 60% on LPG. The diesel around 400k km.

I am in the States and was comparing the Amarda (USA Patrol lite) and the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Ecodiesel. I ended up going with the Ecodiesel only because of the unladen mileage. The Nissan was only going to do 18MPG US at best vs, the 28MPG on the Jeep.

Emission restrictions are killing both petrol and diesel. A lot of people are worried about the cost of omponent failures of these newer vehicles outside the warranty period. I'm not sure leasing a new 4wd every 3 or 4 years is better for the environment than our 23yr old hilux....

The highest octane gas/petrol that we can get here in the States at a regular filling station is 93, 89, and 87. Some farming co-ops have higher or Av. Gas is 110 low lead. Those choices are very expensive.

I love it when the Hilux, Pajero, Prado people tell me their Diesel variant uses less fuel. Yeah and you have 2/3 the power and 2 less cylinders, they do not use less considering output. Fuel pump? Injectors? Insane cost on Diesel, cheap on petrol. Water in the intake? Petrol loves it, Diesel dies.

I run a 200 series with the 4.7 petrol. I tow with it daily and go off road with it too. It is a smooth drive and it is cheaper to work on and purchase than the equivalent diesel. The main reason I go petrol over diesel though is, I like it and it sounds awesome.

My last 2 4x4s were diesel, my current is a petrol. Im never going back. As some one who likes slightly older vehicles and do the repairs myself, the petrol is way easier and cheaper. $100 for a fuel pump and $100 for a set of injectors, destroys diesel spare parts prices. Plus the power for playing on the dunes and beaches on the south coast of W.A just settles it for me. I love my 98 Grand Cherokee poops all over the 2004 Courier 2.5td I had, the 4L motor is amazing, reliable, smooth and torquie, plus the live axles with coils is amazing off road.

Had diesel 4wd from the 80s till 2018 as l did my time as a diesel mechanic. One of them 80 series 1hz best vehicle ever owned. Have a fj cruiser now, did a 7000km trip last winter through WA Northern Territory, about 4000 off-road if you include the great central road twice. Averaged 13 litres per hundred km. Just today got back from a 1600km trip on and off road, calculated 12.46 litres per hundred. I’m converted to petrol, do my own services.
