As someone who has driven Land Rovers for the past 25 years, looking forward to what you have bought & where 👍
This is a great review dude, these things are beasts! HAHA I wish everything was based on a land cruiser but sadly they're based on land rovers, that got me.... and congrats man, can't wait to see it
Thank you Anzal! When do you start your next season?
Nice honest review. I’m a Land Rover defender owner for the last 17 years.
I will say the J90 Prado looks like an excellent vehicle though. Superbly engineered
Yes I completely agree
I will say, your fuel usage doesn't sound that bad for a Toyota. I had a 1991 80 series petrol that was horrible and got almost a 1/4 of what you get. Reliable though. Thank you for the review.
Had 3 off them over the years swb and lwb bought a new landcruiser in 2021 it hasn't a patch on the 90 for towing off road and general hard work alot softer now more a crossover 4x4 now not the work horse it used to be don't make em like that anymore perfectly fits the 90 serise
Why is that? The chassis is fairly similar to the 90
love the channel! i have same green 1997 LC90 2.7 gas over 200,000kms too. wondering if you recommend changing the timing chain to ensure it doesnt break while in use which would be a disaster right?
Thank you! Timing chains rarely break unlike engines that rely on timing belts. There is a way to check if the timing chain is in good condition. Ask your mechanic to do so, there is no need to change it if it is still fine.
Mine is also 1997 green color . But interior totally different. It's non turbo manual. Codriver seat is bigger and can accommodate two persons easily. And seats on the third row are not front front facing but bench types facing each other. Mine clocks 170000 km and having auxiliary tank too but doesn't have rpm meter.
Fully satisfied with the performance. I love my Prado
Hello and thanks for the video. I’m thinking about buying a land cruiser prado 90’s but I don’t know how much comfortable are they for long trips? Greetings from Venezuela
It's not the most comfortable vehicle out there but isn't bad by any means. If you upgrade the center arm rest for a taller one I find it to be good on longer journeys. The newt prado will be more comfy though
MUY BUENA RESEÑA BROT YO TENGO UNA HACE 1 AÑO APROXIMADAMENTE, AÑO 2000 MOTOR 5VZ BLANCA Y ES UNA MARAVILLA NO LA CAMBIO POR NADA, TENGO VIDEOS EN MI CANAL, SALUDOS.
Great video man!
Thank you!
Do you recommend buying these at over 250,000kms? Or will there be to many things that will start to break and need repairs?
It depends on how well looka fter the car is. It may have a lot of Ks but still be in great condition. The best thing to do is take it to a mechanic to have a look
The engine isn't even run in at 250k!
These cars are amazing!
Nice ! I just bought one
Great! Have fun with it!
Wow,ist so simple and so reliable,not like new crossovers/suvs full of electronic,brake limited slip diffs,and all cameras and sensord,this old offroaders you can fix anywhere with a spanner and screwdriver,dont need computer like you need for new cars,i have nissan terrano 1995 2.7td,5spd manual, 2nd gen,and its so simple and reliable,but it uses a lot of fuel,its 10-13l/100km
Yes simple amd reliable but uses a lot of fuel! Same with the Prado!
As a Toyota lover, I’ve owned the wrong 80 series, the one with the shit 1hz motor, now to own my 95 series prado, I’ve never owned a better 4x4, it’s comfortable, reliable and has power, Toyota build a good rig and I’m proud too own my “soccer mums car” now days 😂 I owned an old Nissan navara before that…. Glad that’s out of my life 😂
They are great cars!
The best machine \o/
Do you have 265.75 tyres with suspension lift?
265.75 no suspension lift!
@@TheUntraveledPath When turning the front wheels, does it scrape on the chassis?
@@darkDiamondb Yes, but not much
it can be corrected with different offset wheels
@@TheUntraveledPath slight touch? Does it screw up the tires?
Great video! What dimension are those tires?
265/75/16
Thank you👍🏻
It's not the engine that's uneconomical, it's the fact it's a permanent four wheel drive system.
What is your Prado engine capacity? Diesel or petrol?
3.0 turbo diesel!
@@TheUntraveledPath wow...powerful diesel
do 1997 prado 90 VX have diff lockers?
It's not the trim level mate. It is the market the car was sold in. UK spec prados had the locker
👍
🤣..but sadly everything is based on the land rover.
Μονο Pajero φιλε μου
o kathenas me tin apopsi tou 😉
Mines on 454 l noob lol
Very nice vid. Do you still have the car? Just took mine into some deep water and sustained and trying to ascertain an electrical fault, but hey, it was deep water 🤷
Yes I do, it needs some steering repairs though. It's all part of off roading!
