If you have the cash.. get the Land Cruiser in white.

I agree. Though when I checked a few months back, a fully decked out LC150 (Prado) at gray market dealers will cost close to about as much as a relatively bare LC200.

I'd get the Pajero in this one if mostly city driven. Bang for the buck vs. the Prado IMO.

But if its going to see offroad, I may get the KDSS equipped M/T Prado.

Guys I'm thinking of getting a 2013 Pajero DSL over a Prado 4.0. Here are my pros and cons

Pros & Cons
1. Pajero cheaper than the Prado by 420T, 435T if WP Prado
2. Pajero is DSL so should be cheaper by 500 to 1000 per refuel and should give better mileage
3. Pajero will have higher maintenance costs due to being DSL engine
4. Prado should have higher resale value due to being a Toyota? Or will the Pajero have a higher resale value due to being DSL?
5. I believe both are Made in Japan
6. Pajero might have more issues in the long run like squeaks, etc
7. Pajero has more parts since the engine is 4M41
8. Prado might get a facelift soon but will be more expensive

Which of the 2 has a better ride? I think the Pajero already uses a unibody design. Which has the better noise insulation?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

3. If you get a very good oil filter (baldwin, fleetguard, wix) for your 4m41 (madami available eh), you can easily extend OCI to 10,000kms. Buy a diesel tuning chip plus drop-in K&N with an oil catch can installed and you're gonna have an even better engine with lesser maintenance.
4. DSL have higher resale value than gas engines (mostly). Plus a pajero is still a pajero. If you do # 3 most especially.
