Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2003
This is what Ewan Kennedy liked most about this particular version of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado: Good compromise between a people mover and a 4WD., Spares and repairs are usually readily available., Insurance usually at the lower end of the premium scale for the class.
The 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado carries a braked towing capacity of up to 2500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Toyota Prado: Buying for age or mileage?
In this case I would be tempted to go for the older car with the fewer kilometres, as long as you were sure the odometer reading is correct.

Prado dashboard cracking?
Cracking of the dash is a relatively common one in the Prado, and Toyota has in the past come to the party with at least some of the cost of repairs. It seems now that they are refusing to deal on the basis that cars like yours are too old to care about. Yours is 11 years old, and has done 200,000 km, so you can’t expect Toyota to pay all the cost of repairs, but I would press them for part compensation.
