2004 Toyota Landcruiser Prado GX review from United Arab Emirates
"A good buy, but a little expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vibration from the 4X4 lever. fixed under warranty.
Can't do sand duning (only the land criuzers can do it effectively in UAE), although it is a good off roader.
Pricey for the features offered USD 25k.
Sound system sucks.
General comments?
A good 4x4.
Reasonable economy - 14 gallons gives about 550km. if driven at 5.5 rpm.
Maintenance at 10,000km is $50 and $100 for every 20,000km.
Quiet and smooth ride.
Excellent Airconditoner a must in UAE.
Solid build.
Roomy interior.
Power to wieght ( ratio is adequate in the 2 door model.
Nice looks.
Good all round view.
Vastly improved handling, and it tendency to over turn is much removed. In fact it drives more like a car.
