Thai 4 Runner....I think :)

Check this 4 Runner(I think)from Thailand. It's Toyotas Thailand site. It looks like a 3rd gen with the '96-'98 dash. Or is this just a Land Cruiser Prado? Maybe a mix of both. It does look alittle longer and has 3rd row seating.

Any thoughts??

That is definately the PRADO here in Japan.

They are WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than the Surf. About 10 Grand more for base price.

Yeah, Prado

Yeah I think it's an '03 Prado too. I think they're the link between the Surf (4Runner) and the Lazencruizer (German for Landcruiser).
In some places I think they're even called the Landcruiser Prado.

That grille would take some getting used to. They must have the ebrake on the dash. I noticed that the console looks like the one in the pre 2002 (or pre 2001) Taco's.

The LX470 is built off the Prado platform?? That thing looks a lot smaller and has about twice the ground clearance.

From what I've seen and been told here in Japan, the Surf and Landcruiser Prado share the same frame starting in 03. The Prado comes with three rows of seats and the rear door opens to the right. You can fold the seats up in all kind of different configurations.

I really think of the Prado as a big luxury sedan. It just doesn't look like it should be pulling a trailer, driving on beach sand and launching watercraft.

Plus as I said earlier- The base price here is 4,180,000 Yen. Current rate is 115 Yen to the $. By the time you got one home it would be about 5 million+ Yen.
