    Hi guys,

    What exactly is DUBAI PRADO? I know someone selling for 1.2M only. Sobrang mura. What's the difference with the Japan Prado?

    Dubai versions are supposed to be original left hand drive rigs. More often than not it would have dual fuel tanks and would have petrol engines.

    Based on Yoli's Land Cruiser 90 Middle-East (Dubai) specs which I got to driver:
    *3400 V6 engine mated to A/T
    *Integrated WARN winch
    *Factory brushguard
    *Fire extinguisher
    *Fender Flares
    *Body graphics
    *Dual fuel tank
    *Moonroof
    *Leather seats
    *Third seat
    *Spare tire cover only covers the wheel (tire is exposed)
    *Arabic owner's manual (though the imported did provide an english service manual)

    Mid-East spec units usually hold their value better than units from other markets (e.g. Japan or China).

    So in terms of looks parang pareho lang pala except wala yung parang design sa exterior rare nya like the japan prados available. So this is a converted left-hand drive--kaya pala mura. Any known issues with this version?

    Mid-East specification vehicles are usually the most feature-packed. Kahit sa U.S., madami ding nangangarap ng Mid-East spec vehicles esp. in the off-roading scene.

    Left Hand Drive po sa Middle East.

    Btw, true mid-east spec vehicles have a warning buzzer when you reach 120kph as required by law over there.

    Some unscrupulous (or uneducated) sellers try to pass off China-spec vehicles as Mid-East spec. Nothing wrong with China-spec vehicles (original LHD din) but they are not as feature-packed as Mid-East ones. Pero ang China-spec ay mas loaded pa din kaysa local spec in most cases.

    For the old prado, hindi kasama ang rear aircon sa china version at single fuel tank lang siya pero digital clock :P

    dubai version has rear aircon, dual fuel tank(unleaded) and sunroof :P Di pa ata naibenta ng uncle ko.

    As for my dad, he still has a diesel version pero medyo bare siya. Pero ang sarap pa rin sumakay sa loob (even if the car is more than 5 years old).

    Just to share on experience.
