I'm looking to purchase a Prado here in Costa Rica. The two models that I'm considering are the pre 2002 J90 with the turbo 1KZ-TE diesel and the post 2002 J120 with the intercooled turbo 1KD-FTV diesel. There doesn't seem to be a big price differential between the two models - they are both ridiculously expensive.
We live up in the mountains and a lot of the driving will be on steep mountain roads and unimproved mountain trails. I'm looking for maximum reliability. Any suggestions, opinions, guidance would be much appreciated.
