how about a 2nd hand Land Cruiser 200?

The 2.25m Explorer isn't as fancy as the V6. It's missing:

20" mags, powerfold third row, all-wheel drive, terrain management and the dual sunroofs.

BUT:

At 2.25m, it still has:

2.0 Turbo, 235 hp, crapload of torque (more than the V6).
6-Speed automatic
18" multi-spoke mags
Full leather (Eddie Bauer trim)
Power tailgate
MyFordTouch and Sync, with SD Card, Bluetooth, Aux in and A/V in
Traction Control, Stability Control

Personally, luxury level is high enough in this variant, and space is still good.

Maybe you'd like to consider the top of the line Trailblazer as well. Its got the whole boatload of features you'd expect to find in the Pajero, and is more modern engine and drivetrain wise. All this for a million bucks less. You get to save on both gas bills and the entry price with still lots of spare change for further customization.

Sir GTi is right, the TOTL Trailblazer will be a bang for the buck. It is cheaper compared to Pajero, Prado and Explorer. The thing is, this Trailblazer has a fresh look and will be considered as a looker in the future. Kakaunti pa lang ang owners neto, macho rin naman siya tignan, performance wise hindi ka mag-sisisi dahil may 4x4 capabilities rin naman siya kaya pwede pang off-road. Plus it's diesel, 180hp and 470nm of torque, not bad di ba? plus it also has 6 speed AT Tiptronic, ibig sabihin fuel efficient rin siya.

The Trailblazer is a class below, already. Not saying it's a bad vehicle, but once you start considering that, you might as well also consider the Montero Sport, Sorento and Santa Fe.

I would have bought the Explorer 3.5 kung hindi lang sobrang garapal ng Ford, especially Ford Pampanga. I'll end up paying almost 300K more if I'll be given a unit (DI, tint, etc.)

Nag Prado gas nalang ako.

True, just that its much better kitted and more sophisticated than its contemporaries, and the Sorento and Santa Fe are significantly smaller. How do you think it will fare If directly compared to the Pajero, badge and name aside?
