since ladder frames are more prone to turn over in high speed driving
Pajero is now a unibody monocoque, but the Prado is still using a ladder frame chassis...

Toyota is sticking to frame chassis to its Land Cruiser line-ups, i don't know but i think it's for off-roading purposes to have more rigid body...
