3L TD surf (2nd Gen - 93-95) OR 3L TD Prado (93 ish)

Post by alasdairmcchesney »

Looking at selling/trading in the Jeep Cherokee (1994 with 118k on the clock) for a surf (with as lower km as possible) or a 4dr Prado (in good nick, with mod km)

Any ideas on which is better good all rounder - ie: economy, seating position, off road ability (moderate, like river crossings, mud... not shiny, but not tuff truck either), towing)

Pro's and Cons? Factory problems? Weaknesses?

Looking at spending ?maybe up to 12-13k

Thanks

Al

Keep the jeep and throw a bit of coin at it? Tyres etc?
