The 160 series was introduced in 1980 to replace the 60 series. In Australia, these are officially known as the MQ Patrol. In 1980, the engines available were the L28, P40 and SD33. All models were available with a four-speed manual transmission, albeit a three-speed automatic was optional on long wheelbase vehicles fitted with the L28 engine. All 160 series Patrols came with a two-speed offset transfer case, which featured a 1:1 high gear and a low gear.The front differential in all models was C200. In Australia, the standard rear differential was the H233. Some versions featured limited slip differentials (LSD). A heavy duty model rear differential was used in some pickup trucks and P40 engined wagons. This was the H260 model differential. In European markets, where less onerous off-road use was expected, the light duty C200 rear differential was installed in some vehicles. This particualr one came from Australia by way of South AfricaAll models had leaf sprung suspension. The SD33 vehicles feature 24 volt electrics. Different trim options and colors were available, with options including vinyl or carpet floors, and blue or brown interior trim. Air conditioning and power steering were available on deluxe models. The is a beast. Very strong one of a kind vehicle. Less than 400 in the whole US. This particualr model is even less common. Most in the US are from the 1960's. This one also has a rebuilt engine with less than 500 miles. Note the mileage is in kilometer which is equivalent to about 150,000. Truck runs great. It has brand new batteries and clutch. It needs work to be completely cosmetically sound. Some of the electric cosmetics go in and out. Definitley needs body work. Its got lots of rust. interior is in good shape. Sometime-ish on starting up right away. Always starts with engine starter. Has kill switch and has glow plugs so it must be warmed up. Since the vehicle came from Australia the vin # doesnt work in the US. The actual vin # is sd3311435 and is registered in the US This vehicle came from Australia so the vin number doesnt read in the US
