Thread: Landcruiser wanted but which one

I spent 6 months looking into these prados to purchace one and almost gave in untill i parked next to one in the servo.... picked it up a week later. Best wagon i have ever owned. Definately stick to the 3L 1kzte engine, I started looking at the 2.4L but they have problems with turbo seals and head gaskets a lack of power...the list goes on. If my memory servs me correct the model numbers are the SX and EX They are the last of the Prados with the solid front axil ( i think).
While you are inspecting the wagon have a look at the air intake manifold for oil leaks as this can mean the turbo seals are on the way out and oil is doing a loop where it should not be (usualy from no turbo timer fitted hence cooking the seals)
Good luck to you... if you get a good one you will not regret it.
