nissan x trail or toyota landcruiser

[miker]

looked at both..x trail ..43000 miles on a 12 plate, landcruiser ..127000 miles on a 09 plate, both fsh and 1 owner, both in above average condition..l/c feels more solid and great 4x4 capability, x / trail better running costs, not so rugged, either will be perfect for what i need, similar in price at £12k ..opinions please 

Cheers as always

I think the Land cruiser will keep its money better but you will have lost it in fuel costs.

I have an older Xtrail, they are cars with a lot of internal space that will get through moderately sticky ground. Nice enough and economical enough to travel long distance without thought. 

I also have a Terrano which I would think nearer to a Land cruiser, will go anywhere and tow my 14’ triaxle with a tractor on it wherever I please.

Shopping or long distance I’d choose the Xtrail.
