2001 VZJ95R 3.4L AUTO GXL
As previously posted, we've had this Prado from 2001 when it was 3 months old... cannot speak highly enough to say how well engineered and comfortable this genuine 7 seater for 7 average adults, has turned out to be. "4R Motors" in Seaford 3198 has meticulously serviced this every 5,000 kms without fail. All it has ever needed is Oil and Filter every 5,000. "Forte" Fuel System Cleaner is added every 10,ooo kms. Auto gets new oil every 80,ooo kms. Both Diffs and Transfer gets new oil every 80,ooo kms.

TOYOTA ARE No 1 FOR A GOOD REASON..........THEY BUILD QUALITY AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE
We purchased a demo 2001 Toyota Prado VZJ95R V6 3.4L Auto when it was 3 months old.........in 17 years it hasn't so much as blown a fuse or had any other fault due to any stupid faults that are common in so many present day AWD. Yes it has 4 wheel Disc ABS, Traction Control, Stability Control, Air Bags, Side Impact protection, all the bells and whistles, and still drives like new. We expect 7 kms per litre for such a solid vehicle built with a CHASSIS. It sees and loves the snow at Hotham around 28 days per year and tows 3 tons of firewood e...Read more
ffortlessly. I coulnt get over how it refused to lose control in the snow even when I forced the wheel sharply ! Amazing ! The engiine oil & filter is changed without fail every 7500kms, Transmission Oil every 60,000 kms, all 4 Filters exactly as per Severe Service Schedule, both diff oils every 60,000kms, Fuel Injector Cleaner added to both tanks every 10,000kms, Coolant change every 80,000kms. Paint still looks brand new ! ................... not a single minute of a "let down" or failure ........ so what are people thinking when they trade in a car like this ?????? ........... is it ego, or keeping up with the Jones's, too much money, or what ??????Similar opinion?

Engine expired at 80000 km
Prado petrol 3.4l always smelt 'fumy' reported to dealer on many occasions, they said is a large engine and will produce a lot of exhaust. At 80000 km found metal shavings under oil cap, motor started smoking. Put some Wyn's Stop Smoke in it and traded it in and bought a Honda Euro.

Reliable family car
Our 1997 Toyota Prado GXL has been the most reliable vehicle we've ever owned. It is only now, after 14 years, that things are starting to need attention. Although it's got the smaller motor compared to the newer model Prado, it still goes very well & gets up hills & can overtake with ease. There aren't many vehicles around with 8 seats & we need the 4X4 abilities due to where we live. Highly recommended! I'm just disappointed the new Prado only has 7 seats. No good to us with 6 children!
Extremely reliable!
No airbags on our model.

Good
An excellent, well built 4WD that looks very good. I have a 2000 VX which has served me extremely well over the last 4 years.
I love the looks and it has heaps of power (4.0 litre petrol), but the only real gripe I have is that it is thirsty and the handling is pretty poor (although it is 2 tonnes of 4WD, so this is expected).
I would thoroughly recommend this vehicle and there are some good ones available 2nd hand.
Excellent build qualityToughnessGood looksComfortablePlenty of power
Handles like a busThirsty
