Pick up my third Prado (2013 150 series GXL Diesel) tomorrow with 8km on the clock. Celebrations in my household!
First Prado (2008 120 series GXL Diesel) was written off by an uninsured driver at 13 months and 26000km age. Had to sell the second replacement Prado (2010 150 series GXL Diesel) at 46000km when I moved to Brisbane 2 years back.
It's been a long time between drinks!

2003 v6 with 218 000klms runs like a dream, new radiator and overhauled aircon at 180 000, apart from that, everything original and still working as new.
2010 150 GX auto. Purchased 2nd hand almost 12 months ago. Currently has just under 130,000 - done almost 20 with me. Its my commuter and horsefloat tower..
Bought a 2004 petrol GXL four years ago with 168000 km, now done 251000, three trips to Kimberley's, beach work and city car. No problems except my driving skills over rocks and water, did some damage to suspension, bought it for $22 000 and is probably worth $15 0000 now if I am lucky, but want it to last for another 200 000 km. best car I have ever owned, will buy a 150 series in a few years for $20 000 - $30 000 and do the same thing. Cheaper than other cars when you think of resale.
2004 Petrol just over 200 000k's and no mods yet
Perth WA
2000 year 90 series Prado (3.4L Petrol) that just had it's 150k km service today. Bought it with 125k km on it a year ago, was very well looked after before we got out mitts onto it!
Still goes well and no problems so far at all *touch wood*

[QUOTE=amts;469812]Heard that a replacement D4D engine is horrendous [/QUOTE]
I think u added an extra 0 to that figure, half the diesels explode just after a 100000k, we don' t change injectors, add extra filters, constantly check our sumps.... should I go on.
Hutch- Prado 2012 petrol with the TJM Catologue.
But the Petrol Killerwasps cant handle getting wet, ruins their little wings apparently under the bonnet....
