The 2001 Nissan Patrol range of configurations is currently priced from $9,999.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: It can be if you buy the right one. We’d be very leery of any RD28 or ZD30-powered example, especially if it has covered a lot of kilometres (since many of them are likely to have been in the bush). The 4.2 diesel and six-cylinder petrol versions, though, seem to offer a better package, especially now that the earliest GU Patrols are nearing a quarter-of-a-century on the road. But even the best GU Patrol will not be able to match a modern SUV for comfort, driving dynamics, safety and fuel economy. But if you want to go properly off-road, then a GU Patrol trumps any SUV or Crossover any day.

The 2001 Nissan Patrol carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Nissan Patrol 2001 prices range from $7,370 for the basic trim level SUV ST (4X4) to $23,210 for the top of the range Single Cab ST (4X4).
You could be dealing with either a worn transmission itself (where wear inside the gearsets, shafts or torque converter has made something sloppy) or there’s something else in the driveline (such as a differential or universal joint) that has likewise allowed some looseness or play to enter the equation. In either of those cases, a thump or clunk during shifts can be a symptom. It feels worse under acceleration, as that’s when the maximum stress is on all those moving, meshing parts.
Sometimes, a transmission can be serviced and adjusted to get rid of thumping or banging during shifts. Take the car to a transmission specialist who will be familiar with this transmission and may be able to return it to civility.

That model was known around the trade as the ‘grenade’, as it was just a matter of time before it blew up. I would suggest it could have.

Check the fuel supply side of things; it sounds like it’s not getting enough fuel on either side. Check the fuel pump, they are known to wear out on cars running dual-fuel systems.
