Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2006
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 2006 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 Land Cruiser Prado 2006 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2006 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Can you adjust the driver's seat height in a 2006 Prado GXL?
The short answer seems to be no. Back then, Toyota required you to spend up big and buy the VX version of the Prado in order to get a height-adjustable driver’s seat. It seems a bit odd that this feature was not included on lesser Prados, but at least you could adjust the height of the steering column as some form of compensation.

Can you adjust the rear suspension height in a 2006 Toyota Pardo?
In Australia, this model Prado was available in GX, GXL, VX and Grande trim levels. There was a TX model for some markets globally, but if your car is a private import from elsewhere, then it’s an absolute crap-shoot trying to decipher its options and standard fitments.
With that in mind, if it is either a GX, GXL or VX, then it won’t have a button to control the rear ride height, because the only Australian-delivered 120-Series Prado to have this feature was the Grande. The reason your vehicle sits too high probably has more to do with a previous owner fitting heavier rear springs to account for fully-loaded touring or towing a decent sized trailer.

Good budget 4WD's for travelling
You have to consider what type of four-wheel driving you want to do. If it's heavy-duty then go for an older Toyota Landcruiser or Prado, if it's less taxing then a lighter model might do for you. I would suggest a 2006 Toyota Landcruiser Prado or a 2007 Mitsubishi Pajero.

Replaced Prado seals before recall
If they’ve been changed I see no need to do it again. It’s unfortunate that you have replaced them before Toyota contacted you, but it’s done and I don't think you’ve got any comeback on the company now.
