For what it's worth I'd avoid both and look for a smaller, more economical engine.
The Patrol I had for two years was essentially standard, somewhat agricultural, and went everywhere (in the Congo) with zero problems.
The LC 80 we had for two years (which you may recall) was better equipped, equally capable (as near as makes no difference), but had more km and years and several items needed to be fixed (radiator exploded, handbrake rusted out, A/C fan motor wore out, front differential failed) however arguably these were simply a consequence of wear and tear.
