Used Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (2009-2023): Reliability, common problems & buying guide

Which one to buy?

If your budget allows, the post-2020 Land Cruiser Prado 2.8 GD-6 in VX trim is the one to buy. It marries Toyota’s modernised 150 kW powertrain and updated infotainment with the crucial KDSS suspension, which transforms the vehicle’s on-road manners without sacrificing off-road capability. We also recommend steering clear of the 3.0 D-4D, unless you are overlanding into deep Africa where the fuel quality is low. And if you’re completely apathetic to fuel costs, then the 4.0-litre V6 is a brilliantly smooth option.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado recall: 2 279 units affected in South Africa

Toyota has issued a safety recall for the Land Cruiser Prado. We detail the models affected, the reason for the recall, and how you can check if your car is affected.

Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) has issued a safety recall for Land Cruiser Prado models sold between 5 December 2023 and 7 August 2025. The Japanese automaker’s local arm says a software error of the combination meter in the instrument cluster may not fully appear during startup. The 3D graphics Micro Controller Unit then presents a blank image in the 3D graphics area. This means the displays for engine oil pressure, electrical charge, engine coolant temperature, and other warning messages may not be displayed and, as such, relayed to the Prado’s driver.
