Toyota Prado Review - Used 4x4 4WD

This video reviews the 2003 Toyota Prado, looking at it in terms of the used car market. in 2012, the Toyota Prado is now almost 10 years old, so does the Prado make for a good 2nd hand car? Watch this video and choose for yourself.
Before commenting about the Petrol versus Diesel debate, please consider this is a 2003 model, which as a diesel has the Toyota 1KZ-TE motor. This diesel engine puts out 96kW of power and 343Nm of torque. For a car as heavy as this Grande, the power and torque are low (in our opinion). This doesn't mean the diesel option is bad, we just think the V6 is a better option (also due to gearbox choice as well).
To address the low power and torque, in late 2006, Toyota changed to the 1KD-FTV engine, which has 127kW and 410Nm, which, in our opinion, is a far better option for a diesel in such a big car.
