Heaps of Prados in this town and age doesn't seem to matter much. I'm 27 and drive a 120 and plenty of the younger fellas with a family get them on lease. Best family car I've owned so far! I used to cop the old grandpa jokes when I bought a LS1 WH Statesman when I was 21. Even though they gave me stick about it they still all liked cruising round in it!

30 y/o and the 120 is my first 4WD. I love it, and if anybody tried to tell me it's an old fart's car, I'd have to show them pics and video of some of the places it has gotten me into as a stock vehicle without any troubles
Earlier this year we drove into Israelite Bay and through to Balladonia in WA. No issues at all, and I got to have a giggle at a couple of families in their LC100 and Patrol with around $10k of mods each who were surprised to see we could do it with 'just' a stock prado.
Also while cruising the obstacles at Loveday we were following a group of three dual-cabs of various spec and one troopy. When we caught up with them at 'the Teaser' one of them said to me "Good luck mate, the only one of us who made it through there had dual lockers." Of course that was like a red rag to a bull, and the 120 (with some help from traction control) just ticked through it easily...2008 Charcoal 120 GXL - D4D Auto with Option Pack
