Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2009
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 2009 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 2009 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2009 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Cracked passenger side guard on Toyota Prado
You need to have an independent engineer look at the car to determine the cause of the cracking; you also need to research and talk to other owners who have had the same problem, and armed with all of that information you need to negotiate a resolution with Toyota. If you stick to your guns you might have a chance of getting some satisfaction.

Prado brake pedal
It's not something that has been reported to us here at Carsguide, so it would seem it's not an issue that is worrying other owners. I would suggest you find another owner of a similar car and ask about their experience, and drive their car if they would let you. That way you would have an idea if it's just your car or is more widespread. I would also suggest you consult a brake expert, one that could assess your brakes and give you a report you could use if you want to pursue it with Toyota. Contact the RTA and ask for a list of their accredited engineers and go to one of them. I wouldn't be upgrading the brakes yet, as you say it would possibly impact your warranty, and in any case it's something Toyota should do if indeed there is a problem.

Dash destroyed in Toyota Prado
Yours is the first report of a problem we have received at Cars Guide. We have passed your report on to Toyota for their response, and in the meantime ask Prado owners to contact us if they have had the same problem.

Best SUV for towing a horse float
YOU have to think of how much the float will weigh with a horse and any gear. My guess is that it will be in excess of 2.5 tonnes. I would rule out the Territory; too many problems from rust to CV joint leaks to front ball joint wear, and you would have to upgrade the transmission cooling to handle the weight. Go for the Prado or LandCruiser, or perhaps think of the Jeep Grand Cherokee that will tow 3.0 tonnes.
