I owned the 2017 and now a 2020 both are P.o.s. off road you can get stuck in your driveway- I have. If 1 wheel on each axle is lifed or light it will moan creak jump and roll back . Driving from my driveway at a 45 degree angle to go up a hill to our pasture on hard dry solid ground this thing has a fit- my 98 dodge ram with a simple factory limited slip does it easily in 2 wheel drive. To get the Armada to do it I have to put it into 4 low and turn off traction control and then start up it at 5 mph or faster. Its stupid and you can't put the patrol rear locker in it and i haven't found 1 locker or LSD that will fit the rearend
You know i am always surprised at the cars you folks missed out on in the US. I always assumed you had everything. The Patrol is something of a legend here in Australia.
Why wouldn't someone prize capability over the latest electronic gadgets?
Audi Q7 has some really cool tech. Almost worth not getting a low range gearbox (allllllmost)

Wheel articulation was cringe worthy
Did you guys not get the Patrol in the US?
Nope. This is the closest we've come to getting it.

At least we can still get a properly equipped 4Runner TRD Pro.
nissan patrol

Different platform. New styling. But otherwise... sure.
All SUV are the same, just the tech is updated so you visit the dealer to get it fixed more often
