But either way certainly worth a look and researching.
Agree it's worth looking at but investigate payload issues further:

If you have 3500kg behind it, add in a full tank of fuel and if you put me and Cav in it you're overloaded before we even stock up on cakes

Works out to be less than 200kg of payload capacity when you have 350kg on the towball and a full tank of fuel. Add in a driver and if you're a fat bastard like me you can carry wog lunch and that's about it.

Patrol > Land Cruiser btw

I reckon RAM 1500 with the 3.92 final drive option ticked would be worth a look, you'd have real snappy performance around town and it's help pull heavy stuff a bit easier over the 3.21 final drive variation with a small cost of fuel economy unloaded on the freeway.

Express comes with 3.92 final drive as factory, option on more expensive Laramie.

Even then real world testing it did 10.5L/100km on the freeway, that's pretty good.
