G'day Guys,
Well I've been on and off this site for years trying to always compare the Prado to other vehicles, i wish i just did it to begin with! I've owned a few vehicles, the last one being a petrol 200 series... I've learnt a lot of lessons the hard way after that expensive fuel guzzler! So far the prado has ticked all the boxes for me.
I live out of town and do a lot of 4wd/camping trips so my primary requirement was an economical and capable 4WD and it had to be a Toyota!
