[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 491940, member: 4430"] While in the past I would generally have agreed with this statement, I have had a 2005 Prado (Grande) since new and have had zero issues so far in more than 200k/kM. As a Grande it does have seat raising capability, but you would need to test if the amount provided is what you are after. After the original Dunlops wore out at about 70k/kM, I fitted BFG ATs and got 120k/kMs out of them and only replaced them because they were getting too old, not due to being bald. Naturally I fitted BFG ATs as replacements. Yes the rear air suspension has been reported at times as having caused issues, most during extreme 4x4 driving. But for me it has been great, especially for low speed ground/water clearance and towing, and not one skerrick of issues with it. But they did cost more and also fortunately for me, seem to hold their price better than GX & VX models, especially if in good condition. I can only speak for the Prado, as the other 4WDs, I have owned/used aren't in the category in which you have an interest. Rob P. [/QUOTE]
