Back in the 120 Series Prado! Should you Buy in 2023?

In this weeks episode, I’m in the Land Cruiser Prado 120 Series Once more. Here’s my take on it!

[grantgee]

I've one of these on a 5L E motor, simple, strong, slow and noisy but I absolutely love it!!

Its done well over 470 000km so far and still going strong 💪

KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK..BEST CAR REVIEWER IN KENYA & AFRICA I THINK. NICE, SIMPLE, TIDY AND RELEVANT REVIEWS

[riteshpatel]

Thank you I have an 2004 v.6 ...3.4 now for 20 years still happy and running had small problems but got it fix ....amazing ride

[mariumrajah]

I’ve owned 120 D4D.3.0 UK model.
Bought it 10 years ago 60000 miles
Now 230000 still running

Who restitched your dash? The ride is quieter without the snorkel (less wind noise). There is an aftermarket air suspension kit for the J120 if you want a softer ride and have the cash, but I wouldn't mess with that for it sort of makes a wonderfully reliable car somewhat less reliable. The paint on these also doesn't hold up very well over the years if parked in the sun for extended periods. But those are about the only gripes I have with the car ... and a leaky sunroof, possibly due to a clogged drain.

Thanks for your reviews, so informative. I just purchased a J120 Uk 2002 and am sourcing for a reliable mechanic to team up and build it up to seamless condition. Haven’t been lucky yet as Im abroad. Kindly recommend a specialist(mechanical and transmission, and also body and interior)

Thank you so much for the amazing review. What are the downsides of a diesel engine compared to the petrol one? Any benefits apart from fuel economy per litre?

[heraldloshi]

Thank you for the review.Which is the best garage for re-stiching the prado dashboard?

[javiskaringa]

Nice review. I wonder what would be the consumption of the 2.7 vvti 5AT at highway speeds of 100-120 kp/h

[cyprianwafula]

Great content. Please advise on best garage for paint and body work for J120

[HYPETALK]

Great review as always ..you really helped to understand cygnus … and now this :)

[encoop-ci]

Brilliant review like always! How reliable is the 3.4 L 5VZ-FE ? Have a 2004 up for grabs alongside a 2004, 2.7 2TR-FE both with under 150Km's. Which one would be a better option? Thanks

[javiskaringa]

Hi, What year is this car. Which year did they have the 5AT gear box? I think the older ones had a 4AT.

[amosnjonjo]

A big fan of your channel. How is the ride comfort compared to the 80series and why a 2.7l not 3.4l?

[baphethuxolomene]

I’m thinking of buying Prado but not sure to buy a 4L diesel or petrol engine please advise

[koscocosco]

Nice machine... I have a prado 120 2.7 petrol.. My problem is that at night I can't see adequately... Any advice on the best bulbs and a good electrical mechanic.. Cheers.

Where did you get your dashboard repaired?

[iankahiga]

[manman]

[Itsndy]

Good stuff as always! For the LC100/ LX470, if you had to acquire one afresh which year would you pick? And why?
