  • WE TEST 2020 NISSAN PATROL V8 Y62 5.6 LITRE TOWING 3.5 TONNE and compare it to our SUPERCHARGED Nissan Patrol 2020 VK 56 Y62.
    We perform a 12% Hill Climb Test, 0-100 Acceleration Test, Emergency Brake Test and a Fuel Consumption Test.
    Thanks to McRae Motors for lending the Standard Nissan Patrol, we had a lot of fun putting it through its paces and enjoyed experiencing the differences!

    Love seeing reviews on these cars from people that actually own them and are unbiased. Also like that this guy obviously sells caravans but is not ramming them down our throat. Great way to get free brand placement and give the punters a reason to see the van behind the MIGHTY 62 👌

    Very Interesting Fuel consumption results between this and your previous testing 5 months ago. Yes i know a smaller 2.2 tonne van, Was it the same course taken for this test ?
    Standard Patrol results 21.51 litres per hundred with 2.2 t Van driving normally. 29.5 Litres with a larger van 3.5 tonne giving it the berries. LOL Nice work guys keep them coming

    More and more people are coming around the to Y62. Nissan cant keep up with demand at the moment. We bought ours after my partner wanted a L200. A back to back inspection then a test drive in a Y62 was all it took to convince her the Patrol was the better car. Only towing a 1T camper at the moment but one day will have a van behind it. You dont even feel the camper on the back.
    It would be interesting to see how much the factory exhaust is holding back your supercharged Y62's potential. All other Supercharged Y62's seem to get a full exhaust at the same time.

      Certainly a nice vehicle but be careful about what weight caravan you eventially buy. This vehicle cant legally tow a 3500kg van when your vehicle has fuel, accesories, passengers and luggage. Plus there is an added weight penalty from Nissan on the tow ball download.
      Do the sums on your GVM and GCM limits. Cheers.

    Hi Mr Mountain RV,
    Just curious to know.
    What was the actual tow ball down weight of that caravan?
    As a 3.5 tonne caravan is huge! LOL.
    Being a stock y62, did the back end sag or wallow much?
    From the video they both seemed to sit ok?
    People in forums keep claiming, get air bags or air bag/ coil combo.
    How did the patrol sit and feel in your opinion.
    Do you feel an airbag would just be enough, or needed at all.
    Towing say a fully loaded at 3 tonne.
    Keen to hear you opinion,
    Thanks, Dave.

You have done the Ranger test tows and they are a great vehicles, but now need to do a test tow with the Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 diesel. I know what you are going to say, a bloody Jeep, got to be kidding. Well you should get out on the road and you will be surprised how many are out there. Would like to know how it stacks up against the others and to make it really fun, also do a back to back test with the Jeep Grand Cherokee TRACKHAWK, would like to know it stacks up as a tow car, will blow you away is my answers.

    So you pay 15k? For SC and do the 0-100kph 0.95 faster and use 9litres more per 100. Or ya drive it soft(normal) and achieve 29l per 100kms. Or you drive the nat aspro soft (normal) and get what 21.95l per 100kms.??
    You'd be better off spending the money on gvm upgrade so you could carry someone and some luggage and a full tank of fuel with out being restricted when down ball weight increases, with patrol. I'm a fan of patrol but those numbers with a extra 130kw and 265nm @the wheels, over standard were not impressive at all. Maybe they restrict power off the mark to save trans and that wrecks the numbers! But in gear and at speed it probably dominates but we aren't aware.

    Still not as good as its big brother the Titan. Tow 3500Kg @ 19.2l/100K and no dramas with hills

    So little sag... are you sure its 3.5 tonne ?

      All depends on where the weight is positioned in the van and where axles are positioned if balanced correctly ya won't have much down force on the tow ball

      Yes, it weighed in at 3500kg with 180kg over the ball during that test. The silver stock Patrol did sag a little and the Supercharged patrol has rear air bags fitted.

    Whst a waste of time on soeef tests etc.
    If you do the sums on GVM and GCM for this vehicle it will only be legal with a 3500kg van if there is no luggage vehicle accesories or passengers. Nissan also put a weight penalty on top of the towball download. See John Cadigans review on overloaded towing and the false manufacturers claims on towing ability.
    This is irresponsible info media.

      Agree, and the supercharged Patrol would have even less payload. I cant see how either is within its payload limits.

      And the Toyota 200 isn't the same, actually has less, how many people actually worry about payload, most I see in my town are over.

      Agree - these tow tests are useless unless you include a weighbridge in your route. We all know Patrols etc etc can tow fine, but these days we’re concerned more about the legalities of GVM, GCM, TBW, axle weights and so on. Please do us a favour and provide this info rather than a gratuitous Sunday drive in your shiny patrol and van.
