Hi all
I’m about done with my Land Rover and am currently looking to buy a Land Cruiser. After hearing all the stress free happy drivers with minimal repairs.
But now I’m lost in all the options for different models, engine sizes and fuel types
I need a car that can pull 3.5 tonne loaded trailer nationwide, with minimal stress on repairs and faults (like my current d3 2.7)
I’ve found a 3.0D4D landcruiser (see image) and wondered if any pros could guide me and confirm if this is the car for me or if it’s not quite powerful enough?
It’s stated as 3.5 tonne limit but it’s 3.0L and doesn’t specify if it’s a Prado? 12 months not no advisories
Or do I go for a 4.7 petrol / Lpg Amazon? Which has an abs fault
Ideally I’d like to buy one ASAP and move on to a new chapter and sell my d3 when it eventually comes back from repair. Usually in 2-3 times a year and has always had problems unfixed.
Thanks |

I can’t figure how to upload pic but the regs are
R352JTW D4d 3.0 diesel
DA02HRO 4.7 petrol Lpg Amazon
Im wondering is there a difference between the petrol and diesel Amazon as petrol Lpg may not have the same engine design or build parts quality that I’m needing
Thanks |

I cant get the R352JTW reg to work on the MOT site - are you sure its the right one?
Think I'd stick to diesel if it was me |
