Hats off to you sir, you have kept it in immaculate condition. I have a 97 two door 3.4 Patrol. Toyotas are the best but no doubt you have kept it in pristine condition too. The back door hatch fix was ingenious. Thumbs up my friend
I have the same model with the V6 3.4 petrol engine, however, in the UK it's called the Landcruiser Colorado. It's a 1998-year model car, but still has plenty of pulling power and is remarkably comfortable to drive
We love our 90 series but there is one very important thing 90 series owners must do and that is to get the lower ball joints checked regularly. If they fail the front wheels can collapse and his has happened to a lot of these vehicles including ours.
I owned this car before, 2001 model, sold in 2015 @ 330k km. Very reliable, never break down as I maintain regularly. Very strong and very reliable. The only setback was, its a fuel guzzler but still kindda regret letting it go, Should have keep it.
No wonder the place looks familiar, this is Kuching. 😂 Also my dad just bought this car secondhand in red. It looks fabulous. My dad owned 2 land cruisers before and I can tell y'all they are reliable.
Everything still in brand new and tiptop condition even the alarm system and radio unit, well kept in covered carpark and 2 years ago just done my 1st time tyre change since 1997 due to old tyres bloated and cracks, those years tyre are really amazing and long lasting.
I love the video and you has given plenty useful info and nice legendary car! keep posting more video about your beloved Prado, we'll surely love them! and a tip for your backdoor problem: flash some welding to the loop and carefully file it (apply some grease to less the friction at last) thus it can last longer than the metal coil, one is quickly wearing out if you often open the backdoor. My Toyota Zace (Kijang) has the same stuff, now it is smooth. Blessing from Vietnam!
mr.cheang...i intend to buy used one, can u give your opinion..should i choose manual or auto gear? diese or petrol engine? for in future there the sparepart and maintenance sould be no problem to handle...
Hi Zainuddin, all Prados are very reliable. Both manual and Auto are great depending on your preference. I would go with the Auto because I am a bit lazy changing gear but the Auto Gear is only 4 speeds for these used ones so fuel consumption is a bit more than the manual.
@@wowcarwow Considering the 1995-2002 Prados, there are 1kz, 1Kd, 3rz and 2Tr prado engines. So which one do you advise me to buy? Considering factors such as fuel economy, engine durability and maintainance costs
@@mopimanta5250 I guess different place has different variants with different demands. In Kuching, we have 2.4L, 2.7L and 3.0 L. Road tax can vary from 400plus to 1000 plus. Personally I would choose the 2.7L. Not too weak and not too high in tax. Fuel is cheap here.

Alternatively you can consider this one. Among the most reliable cars in the world. ua-cam.com/video/tnT-KCv0Wpo/v-deo.html (you can buy this unit. Good history record)
Hi Mr Cheang, may i know is there any different between 2.8l and 3.0l 2002 prado in term of specification of the car like interior or any other feature? Would u prefer auto or manual transmission for this car and what is the difference for the road tax of 2.8 and 3.0 in kuching
I think the interior are basically the same. Road tax is from 700plus to 900 plus. About rm200 difference in the two variances. I prefer an Auto. Much easier to drive in town.
@@olie4398 hi the first generation runs from 90-95 so they are the same but they come with a variety of engine choice -2.4L, 2.7L, 2.8L and 3.0L (both petrol and diesel) 1996 is the second generation which comes with 2.7L, 2.8L, 3.0L and 3.4L
I have a 99 Prado V6 3.4 petrol. Dual petrol tanks, one 90, one 60 litres. Done 425,000 kms and my mechanic says I’ll get 750 000+ kms if I look after it. We put a new radiator and hoses in and have replaced battery, alternator and starter .
It was so nice to come across this review as I am about to take the leap of faith on a 2002 Prada diesel with 200,000 kilometres on it in mint condition. Pretty much all of the reviews on UA-cam are by serious 4x4 drivers who have completely modded out the PRADOS and has no bearing on the type of use that the average driver. Once so, yeah, it was great to see this beautiful old Prado still going strong, and I'm sure that mine will be the same.
Mine is a Prado 150 series.
Of all the cars I have owned, I will keep this one forever.
There's something magical about it.

The 4Runner is the toyota Prado in the USA
Best looking model out off all the prado
What is that full name of this car
What a great review. I grew up in Asia with these cars on the road. Now living in USA I love seeing this in youtube. One day I will buy one of these.
3rd gen 4runner has the same chassis and is way more plentiful in the usa 😉
After 20 years car can get cheap roadtax as classic car ? Can apply from JPJ ?
It has to be recognised by the government after the registration. Can try to apply but I doubt it passes.
Excellent review! What is your opinion of Prado J120 model? Thank you
I like the J120. They are the improved version. They look better than this one as well.
Thanks , this is a nice analysis
Thinking buying one.. is the year 1997 to 2000 still same batch?
Yes 1996 - 2002 (the second generation)
This is the car I want
J'ai un souci quand je démarre le matin quand je roule au mois de 2 km le check engine s'allume au tableau quel véhicule s'affaiblit c'est un moteur diesel électronique
Désolé d'entendre ça. j'espère que vous pouvez comprendre pourquoi.
great! You convince me to buy one
Hai sir....u give me a good inspiration to have one...soon i will buy 1 tq will u help me soon sir for make choosen
Yes
Alternatively you can consider this one. Among the most reliable cars in the world. ua-cam.com/video/tnT-KCv0Wpo/v-deo.html (you can buy this unit. Good history record)
@@wowcarwow may i know the price tq
@@princecloud9162 90K in Kuching.
2000 Prado is much cheaper. It’s around 30K plus. I don’t sell cars actually but I can help you.
would you recommend this to use than a 3ltr diesel
I wouldn’t say one is better than the other. They both are reliable. Generally I prefer petrol engine 😃
Hi I'm planning to buy one but would u recommend this 2.7L or the 3.0 1kz? Cheers mate
All Prado models are extremely well made. If in Malaysia, I might choose 2.7L because it’s cheaper with road tax.
go for 2.7 gasoline
What about Toyota probox
Hi Zachary, Toyota Probox are not sold in Malaysia and I have never driven one before.
Can you do a review on the Petrol V6
Thanks for the comment. I will review when I can find one.
@@wowcarwow many thanks. I would like that.
V6 in old Prado is rare in Malaysia but this Lexus comes with V6 ua-cam.com/video/tnT-KCv0Wpo/v-deo.html
Thank you for the informative review! How is the power of the 2.7? Is it enough for offroading and climbing mountain roads?
Yes it’s powerful enough.
yes its very powerful, we have tested it in snow and mud condition , its impressive.
hello sir .what is fuel average par liter in kilometer
In the city it averages 18L/ 100km and on country roads-10L/ 100km
My Prado full tank go about 600km...
Hi mr cheang i want 2002 tz 2700cc with manual transmition
The manual transmission is generally cheaper and extremely reliable. Prado is among the most reliable cars which can handle any abuse.
Anyone know where you can buy the retro Prado decals he has on the sides?
Try Shopee. Everything is sold there.
May i ask - what's the expected fuel consumption from a 90s 2700cc auto prado ?
In the city it averages 18L/ 100km and on country roads-10L/ 100km and to put that in perspective it consumes twice as much as a Perodua Axia. Thanks
18L/100..wow might as well get the v6
I have two of these vehicles one has almost 400 000 kms on it can’t kill it just have to replace the rear door hinges every now and then .
Thanks for sharing. That confirmed the reliability of this car.
@@wowcarwow we are over at Frazer Island at the moment in Queensland Australia in the Prado great off road and beach also.
