Am currently looking at my first Prado after coming rom several other bigger 4WDs (last 2were 60 series cruisers).
I was pretty set (after weeks of reading every thread on here!!!) on a 99-02 GXL, and there are some nice ones around. However there has been a couple of 01 50th Anniversary models popping up lately for around the same price.
When I compare them on spec sheet, there only really cosmetic differences (some chrome bits) and the rear aircon unit... To be honest, chrome isn't my thing, it gets scratched in the bush, and the chrome mirrors are about double the price to replace aftermarket if needed in the future... This pretty much leaves the rear aircon as the only real feature I can see that's useful. Am I leaving anything out? Is there something I haven't noticed?
If the choice was yours, which would you get, and why?
