Well, here goes again! After selling my G-Wagon, I wanted something that was better suited to a daily driver, and something that got better than 15mpg on the highway...
So, I bought another Prado:
This one is a 1991 SX5 with an R150f 5-speed manual. It is absolutely bone stock, with a whopping 107k km on the clock. Factory electric winch (as far as I could tell it had never been used till I got it), and an original cylinder head.
So far I have put about 2000km on it in my week and a half of ownership, and have averaged about 21mpg (11.2 l/100km). It doesn't seem to consume any coolant, but it does use some oil. The only problem it has right now is a tendency to die at idle unless at full operating temperature. It does pretty well off road, but could use more oomph down low.
Here it is getting to use the winch for the first time to pull out a stuck HDJ81.
