3. 11555742 Prokopyevsk
   Toyota Prado 150 diesel is, of course, a good car, but I noticed that the quality is getting worse. Before that I was the owner of a Prado 120 . I brought an exclusive model from Germany, 2003 . It never let me down and started in severe frost without any problems. The interior was made of high-quality leather, unpretentious in operation, all the time I changed the chassis, rubber blocks and shock absorbers , I changed the oil every 10 thousand km. In 2019, I sold it with a mileage of 400 thousand. Now I bought the 150 model , the quality of the upholstery is poorer, the finishing is rough and of poor quality , in my opinion. Something is constantly creaking in the cabin. My opinion - Prado 120 is much better .

   • Driver Prado 2008 I didn’t see any disadvantages during use, complete advantages! European assembly, maximum equipment. During use - 190 thousand kilometers, changed only timing belt And turned off the USR. The presence of air suspension is very pleasing. It is not afraid of low temperatures, it starts without problems. I recently changed only consumables for the entire period - shock absorbers, although it was still possible to drive.

   • Driver of a diesel Prado 120, manufactured in 2003. I am very pleased with the car, the optimal ratio of cost and quality. For a full-fledged SUV spare parts are not expensive. The downside is that the engine is a little heavy, I would like it to be simpler. There was no stop on the tailgate, and it broke in the strong wind. If you pour high-quality fuel, it will undoubtedly last a long time.
