And then there's the mighty (not!) 127kW diesel engine in the Prado. What a joke. How can they sell a 3.0-litre diesel with 127kW when BMW gets 210kW from a 35d. The Prado's engine even makes less power than a 2.0-litre four-cylinder BMW diesel. The only reason to buy the Prado would be if you want a capable off-road vehicle, or outback tourer. And then you'd be better off with a base or mid-spec so you could kit it out with aftermarket stuff without going over the GVM.
