Depends also on what year model of the Patrol you're looking at. If this is the 2001-2003/2004 model (pre-facelift), you're better off with the Pajero as this first release of the Patrol 3.0 had quite a number of issues with the engine. These have been fixed on the later models (our 2005/06 4x4 has been quite a reliable one).

FC: Quits lang
Performance: Patrol
Maintenance Cost: Pajero
Parts Prices: Pajero
FC: Pajero has better FC AFAIK

What will i get given both are in the same, good conditions? Patrol.

*harangody- thanks sir! can you give some figures about the FC? city and hway driving?
*jrn29- thanks!
*vinj- we are considering the 01-02 nissan patrol and 99-02 pajero FM sir.

how about interior space and quality? which one is better? thanks!

If you're considering the 01-02 Patrol. Go for the Pajero as this will give you less headaches. Otep can attest to the problems he encountered with the 01-02 versions.

are these problems isolated cases or factory defects? thanks for replying sir!

Defect. Later engines were improved and design changes were made.

Yes. My Tylenol intake has increased dramatically when I crossed over from 96 Pajero to 01 Patrol. Now my daily driver is a 94 Toyota. Hehe.

Interior of the Patrol is snug considering the size. The fronts are ok but the Pajero has better 2nd row accomodations.
