Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2013
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 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2013 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2013 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Was there a recall on the 2013 Toyota Prado?
This is a pretty well known problem with the three-litre turbo-diesel that Toyota was fitting to Prados between 2009 and 2014. The problem began when Toyota redesigned the pistons of the engine to help it achieve Euro 4 emissions standards. Earlier versions of the motor that didn’t comply with Euro 4 did not have the same problem.
The piston cracking most commonly occurs once the engine has covered something like 100,000km or 150,000km. It was also most likely to occur in engines that had been modified to produce more turbo-boost or vehicles that had been used for extended periods of towing heavy loads.
Toyota did issue a service bulletin for the problem and began fitting post-2014 engines with different fuel injectors and a revised piston design. Piston failures in these later engines are rarer but still not entirely unknown. Even though a service bulletin was issued, Toyota did not issue a recall for the affected vehicles.

Prado diesel engine problems
One possibility that has affected the Toyota diesel in the past is fuel leaking past the fuel-injector seals and contaminating the oil causing a build-up of sludge that eventually blocks the oil pick-up and starves the engine of oil. It's a long shot, but a possible explanation.
