That's almost $2000 difference! Do your figures above include the 5000km service intervals for diesels? If so someone has been given the wrong info.
I also like to deal with facts and figures - but as you say these aren't always the be all and end all. I've driven both TD and petrol 4WD's previously - and both have good and bad points.
When I purchased the Prado the TD didn't even get a look in - but the D4D engine wasn't available at that stage. I guess it's like the old 'Holden Vs Ford' - there is never going to be a clear winner when it comes to a decision which is inherently a personal choice
As you say, horses for courses!
