Guys,

Pros and cons in terms of handling, ride, durability, economy. Plus any good and bad experiences with these. Medyo naguguluhan pa kasi friend ko on what to choose. If you are to ask me being a satisfied trooper owner kaya biased ako hehehe

thanks.

Kung for the road, get an Expedition na lang. The Land Cruiser and Patrol are a bit compromised kasi nga they were designed for off-road work. The cabins are not as big as the dimensions would suggest. The step-in height is quite tall. Handling dynamics are so-so.

i agree with OTEP. if it's for on-road use, get the Exped. for light-med off-roading (coz i would think if you had a new Patrol or Land Cru, you wouldn't really take it to heavy off-roading) the Patrol or Land Cru.

the thing with the new Exped tho, is i find it quite claustrophobic vs. the older one. it's supposedly bigger, but when i'm inside, i can't see why.

mdpo,

are we talking about the new expedition or the old one, and is the Land Cruiser being considered a Land Cruiser 80-series or the 100-series?

what we are comparing are all brand news. Teka bakit wala atang may gusto ng trooper?? ;) Ako trooper! hahaha :D

better take away the LC100 then, its price is too far above the others. if you can afford that, than there should be no question anymore hehe :D

between a 2003 Expedition, Patrol "Presidential Edition", and Trooper Skyroof... well, the expedition should be the easy choice for purely on-road use or if you want to carry more than 5 passengers regularly. The Patrol is easily convertible to 4x4, so if you plan to go off-roading, this should be your choice... or if you prefer the economy of a diesel to go with your luxury SUV.

the trooper is cheaper than these two SUVs and is not convertible to 4x4...
