More like 400lb; the curb weight spec on Toyota's website is wrong

I agree. I wish Toyota would bring more light tan interiors to their SUVs/trucks instead of just black, grey, or brown.

Ha. I'm planning on getting that plate in VA if no one beats me to it first...

jury is out on that one, ours has been sitting at 16.1 MPG
The cheapest land cruiser prado 250 in Qatar costs around $48.6k vs $62.6k for the most basic triple locked 1GR 300.
They call the trim level "classic"
It is extremely basic, even more basic than other base models in neighbouring countries.
In order to keep the price low it doesn't have a rear locker/crawl control/cool box.
It has a basic screen/carplay/rear camera and rear air/third row. No rear pintle hook (I'm betting though behind the bumper you could find the holes for it and a simple fix would be to cut a hole or get a bumper with pintle hook hole).
You can get these missing options on base models in nearby countries like Kuwait or Saudi but for a higher price.
Either way it's definitely cheaper than I expected.
I would never get a 250 over the 300 though its tempting I won't lie. That new feeling is nice, the 300 is the most common vehicle on the roads so it isnt as unique and due for a facelift soon so it's definitely dated but once the hype dies down, the 300 will always remain...top dog.
Side by side 300 is definitely bigger. Inside they aren't that far off size wise.
Not a fair comparison. The 250 is an excellent entry "Land Cruiser" & in many ways its currently a more competitive product than the big LC but that should be fixed with the facelift.

I did a quick scan and came up with a preliminary design for my skids.
These are based off my 200 series skid plate system. These will have the following:
These are based off my 200 series skid plate system. These will have the following:
- High strength, light weight sub frame made from 6061-T6 aluminum
- 3/16" thick 5052-H32 aluminum skid plates
- Large access panels for oil filter and oil drain
- Uses standard metric hardware
- Bolt on, not cutting or welding required
- 1 person install without require lifting equipment
- Easily shipped as they will fit in a 26"x26"x12" box and be under 60lbs (as is)
noooow its yours
So the diesel is rated at 33 mpg. What's the fuel tank size on that spec?2024 Prado 2.8T Diesel with Third Row. Some jealous overseas countries don't have diesel and a third row

I was afraid of that...that vertical windshield is going to be a rock chip magnet. 
Not much you can really do about it. I had the same problem with my 4Runner. 3 windshields in 2 years of ownership.I was afraid of that...that vertical windshield is going to be a rock chip magnet.

Wasn't the FJ Cruiser esp prone to windshield damage as well?
I briefly looked into a windshield film that one could apply but all roads lead to nothing conclusive worth pursuing.
Can’t speak on the FJ but I could see it being the same way. A lot of it depends on how and where you’re driving along with luck. I ended up just getting the $100 deductible for glass replacement on my insurance policy. Totally worth it for $12 a year.
