So we are in the situation of the moment of having 2 cars - the 2000 Prado 90 and a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer. We don't need 2 cars any more and are considering selling them and buying a better and diesel 4wd. We need to talk to the bank so nothing's decided but I think the LC 100 or 200 is way out of our budget. What might be is an early 150 or late 120. Depends on the market somewhat as I only want a manual and really a diesel. If it was just me an old LC80 or LC60 would be fine but that's too agricultural for my wife.
Anything to look out for on early 150s (2010 odd) or late 120s (2008 odd) or anything good to know with the 120 and 150? Have had no experience of them apart from driving my mate's 2005 1KZ based one for a short time - seemed lovely to drive but his is auto.
In particular I'm interested to know the expected clutch life. I know that is very dependent on use but a very rough idea would be good.
I need the size for camping and it needs to be able to tow a 1 ton camper trailer OK. Not that concerned about off-roading TBH, but the wife does not want a ute (pickup), has to be a wagon.
