From what I've read in other places, the Prado is 7/8 of a Landcruiser at about 3/5 the price........it comes close, but its no replacement for the real thing.

Yes, the 120 and 150 were/are simply called Land Cruiser in markets like Europe but the 200 is also sold there and is called the Land Cruiser V8.
Owned the previous model Prado, slightly smaller, Prado and LC are more like sisters than cusins, both are very capable SUVs, usually made for diferent markets.
Just test drove the new Prado, not bad att all, very tall but this one had a 4 Cyl. 2.7L VVTI and felt a little under rated for the weight but stable and confident, loaded with features; AHC, KDSS....very good but nothing like the real LC.

In the US Market, the Lexus GX, foreskin, taco and fj loser all share the same chassis. The new 4R and Prado(GX) have switched over to the 150 chassis so the Tacoma and FJ Cruiser(if they continue it) will be next.
The 2010 FJC is supposed to be on the 150 chassis as well IIRC.
is it? really? Cool
The 150 Series (Toyota Prado/Lexus GX) has such a high bonnet line that I think it will be much harder to work on if access to the engine bay is required.
A tall mechanic won't be too bothered, but doing stuff like fitting a 2nd battery, and air compressor will be just that bit harder.
The LC200 has a noticeably lower bonnet line.
