Hey guys,
Getting out of my 200 and thinking a Prado is my next. Reading a lot of scary stuff about D4D.
I would like the V6 as i think it suits my driving better.
No towing, short daily drive, quiet and powerful, maybe a 2 week trip on dirt roads etc. and only weekends camping.
However there is a shortage of them under 150,000kms around that 30-40k price range. Talking 150 series.
Ive read so much stuff about the diesels having issues, but just today i parked my 200 in the carpark and within 10metres of me there were 5 prados all D4D! Surely theyre not that scary if there are so many on the road??
D4Ds are much easier to find but sooooo many horror stories. Id go a V6 but theyre never up for sale and people make them sound like they either guzzle fuel or lie about their economy. I came from patrols that use 14-16L per hundred. My 200 uses 15-16L.
I know its been done to death but how many confirmed cases are there of D4D problems?
i love the appeal of no injector, pump, turbo issues etc. No carbon buildup etc. Sick of worrying about that stuff.
So the V6 is preference but hard to find.
Convince me ill be fine with the D4D...
