Toyota land Cruiser Prado ) - legendary, the dream of many motorists. Potential buyers of this car are attracted not only by its cross-country ability and its brutal appearance but also, of course, an impeccable reputation. The 120th Prado is the most popular among all modifications of the Land Cruiser, it is even more popular than the new 150th. And all because the true connoisseurs of the model consider this car the most successful in the history of the model. For some, this is a true friend and assistant, for others it is a confirmation of status, they write about the 120th that it hardly breaks, and the key word here is " nearly". In addition, many Pradiks already have a mileage well over a hundred, and unpleasant surprises await the new owner on this run, but now we’ll figure out which ones.

A bit of history:

The first generation Toyota Land Cruiser Prado was introduced in 1987, its important advantages were high cross-country ability with comfort worthy of passenger car. This model was offered in a three- and five-door body, with petrol and diesel engines. This generation of cars was produced for nine years and had an index of "70". The second generation, which received the index "90 » , was introduced in 1996, it was the first car in the family to be equipped with an independent front suspension. Prado, with an index of 120, began to be produced in 2002, the car was built on the same platform as its predecessor, and, traditionally, was offered in two versions - in a three- and five-door body.

At that time, equipment and comfort were simply revolutionary. It was the first car in the world with a hill-climb assist system, which helps to get going uphill. slippery road and prevents side slip. In addition to this system, the vehicle is equipped with a range of electronic systems and assistants responsible for safety and comfort. In 2005, a light restyling was carried out, while the appearance has not changed much, but the list of modifications has noticeably expanded. The third generation of cars lasted until 2009. In 2009, as part of the Frankfurt Auto Show, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 (fourth generation) debuted. . The car was built on an improved platform of the previous generation.

Problem areas Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120

The paintwork, as on most Japanese cars, is very soft, moreover, anti-corrosion treatment body is not the best. All this leads to the rapid appearance of corrosion at all welding points of the frame. Outside, special attention require rear doors, sills and wheel arches. Most quickly, the red disease spreads on cars imported from the emirates. If on back door established spare wheel, check the door for sagging. If, when driving over bumps, a rattle is heard in the doors, most likely the reason is plastic lining or hinge play. The chrome body elements of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado are very afraid of reagents and become cloudy in the first years of operation, and then they begin to peel off.

Weaknesses of the chassis Toyota Land Cruzzer Prado 120

The front suspension of the SUV is independent, the rear - dependent, spring, continuous axle. This model can be equipped with both conventional and more comfortable air suspension. Depending on the operating conditions, air bellows live 120-150 thousand km, a new one will cost from 150 to 300 USD. The pneumatic compressor takes care of 180-200 thousand km, they ask for about 300 USD for a new one. The body position sensor lives 100-130 thousand km (if the sensor fails, the car will always be in the upper position), replacing the sensor will cost 500 USD. Shock absorbers have a very long service life and are able to last more than 200,000 km.

Ball bearings serve 150-180 thousand km, replacement is quite expensive, since they change as an assembly with the lower arm. Replacing the stabilizer struts is required every 80-100 thousand km. Wheel bearings have to be changed quite often, once every 50-80 thousand km. Also, close attention needs to be steering rack. On a 5-7 year old Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, you can notice the car is skewed to the left side; to fix the problem, you need to swap the springs or replace them with new ones. I would like to note that the cost of suspension parts is not more expensive than that of other manufacturers, but they have a longer resource. After 5-6 years of operation, the braking performance deteriorates, the so-called "cotton pedal", unfortunately, in standard ways this problem is not treated. Calipers and guides can sour and wedged, therefore, at each MOT, they must be lubricated.

Outcome:

Toyota Land Cruzzer Prado 120, in most cases, is used for slaughter, so it is not recommended to buy a car from hunters, fishermen and off-road enthusiasts. It is better to give preference to a car that was operated in a metropolis, since cars from regions, as a rule, are not in the very best condition. Buying a car operated in a big city significantly reduces the risk that the previous owner serviced the car in an unofficial service center and refueled with low-quality fuel. Pay as much attention as possible to diagnosing a car before buying, as non-killable cars attract a special type of owner.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you had to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your review that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

Suspension components that fail more often than others are:

• shock absorbers;
• elastic elements (springs, springs, torsion bars);
• reactive and transverse rods, levers, rockers;
• anti-roll bars;
• bushings and silent blocks connecting the elements of the body with the suspension.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado suspension repair is required when the following signs of breakdown appear:

• while driving, the car pulls to the side;
• there were vibrations;
• uneven wear tires;
• shock when overcoming bumps in the road.

Suspension recovery

Even in the absence of obvious signs of a malfunction, it is necessary to make diagnostics every 30 thousand kilometers. The most common cause of breakdown is mechanical damage when hitting an obstacle or overcoming a recess - especially if the car was moving at high speed.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado has long earned the love of Russian buyers and, despite its price, has become truly "popular". The canonical "Pradik" is driven by officials and businessmen, off-road lovers and even girls, and the car itself regularly hits the top of the best-selling frame SUVs. The popularity of the TLC Prado in Russia is supported by the reputation of the indestructible Toyota, liquidity, solid status and serious opportunities outside the asphalt.

Moreover, the off-road potential here is directly determined by the selected configuration and the principle "the more expensive - the better." For example, starting from the "Prestige" version, the car is equipped with the "Kinetic Suspension Stabilization System" KDSS. In fact, we are talking about "active" anti-roll bars, which allow you to maintain a constant ground clearance, prevent roll in corners, and off-road - improve suspension geometry.

Minimum price

RUB 1.997 mln

Maximum price

RUB 3.591 mln

Prado's KDSS system is a little simpler than, for example, its similar counterpart on the same Range Rovers, but it still performs its functions perfectly. Conventional anti-roll bars front and rear are combined with a hydraulic line and connected to the body through the racks of two hydraulic cylinders (one for each axle). On smooth pavement, electronics, using a valve module with compensation tanks, blocks the entire circuit and creates excess pressure, limiting the mobility of the stabilizers. As a result, the SUV allows much less roll when maneuvering and pecking during acceleration and braking.

The broken road for KDSS is a reason, on the contrary, to relieve pressure in the system and make the stabilizers as mobile as possible in order to dampen body vibrations. And off-road, the valves of the hydraulic module are fully opened, and the anti-roll bars become fully "dissolved". This provides maximum suspension travel for better wheel-to-surface contact.

Here is what the manufacturer himself writes about such a system:

Kinetic Stabilization Suspension System (KDSS) is a Toyota innovation that controls the operation of the anti-roll bars to provide stability and smoothness off-road and minimize body roll in corners.

Off-road KDSS system allows you to confidently move forward, providing maximum grip of the wheels with the surface. The active anti-roll bars are effectively switched off, giving the wheels more freedom of movement when driving over uneven ground.

From marketing materials Toyota motor.

Most SUV owners are satisfied with the performance of KDSS. Although they periodically dream of Prado with a "passive" suspension, the fact that the system for maintaining the body in a horizontal position turned out to be rather capricious and costly to maintain. On the forums of specialized communities, the same story is heard: “the car has filled up on one side”, “my Prado is lying on its side” and “what should I do if the Prado is skewed?”. As a rule, such a problem is also preceded by knocks in the suspension when turning the steering wheel, and almost every second Prado owner with KDSS (and even the older Land Cruiser 200 with a similar system) has a disease. Sometimes it is possible to return the "horizontal" with the help of a simple "calibration" and the forced opening of the valves, but this is not enough for a short time.

The fact is that both hydraulic cylinders and the valve module turned out to be too tender for Russian conditions. Parts quickly lose their tightness, allowing moisture, reagents and road dirt to pass through. As a result, on runs over 70-80 thousand km, all of the above components often require simultaneous replacement, and after 130-150 thousand this must be done almost guaranteed.

How much does it cost to bring the TLC Prado suspension to its original condition? With this question, we turned to official dealers Toyota brand in Moscow and asked to calculate a common option with the purchase of all three parts and related components. It turned out that only one valve block with hydraulic accumulators for the 2017 TLC Prado will cost as much as 143,718 rubles. Of the two KDSS hydraulic cylinders, the front one turned out to be the most expensive - 127,340 rubles, and the rear one will cost 93,575 rubles.

In addition, dealers recommend changing the stabilizer bushings in parallel, as well as replacing the hydraulic fluid in the line. For all additional parts and work on installing spare parts, you will have to pay 29,300 rubles. Total - 300 358 rubles! One would like to ask: "Toyota", where is your reliability?

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 is a combination off-road terrain, comfort and reliability. He also knows how to charm his owners - 8 out of 10 are happy with everything and are not ready to part with him. In the article we will understand how everything goes smoothly. Is it worth getting involved with a big frame SUV with mileage? If you decide, then read below what to look for when buying a used Prado 120.

A bit of history

The Prado model was born in 1985 in the form of the 70th series. They have little in common with the 120th (in fact, only the name). In 1996, the Land Cruiser Prado was reborn in the 90th series. Like the 120th, it was created on the Toyota 4Runner platform and with an independent front suspension. He positioned himself as the main competitor of Mitsubishi Pajero. But there were no sales records, perhaps due to low-power engines.

The real breakthrough for Toyota was the third generation of the Japanese SUV. Many people still like the LC Prado 120 both externally and in terms of performance. Although technically it is not sinless. More details further.

The 120th series was produced from 2002 to 2009. Official restyling during this time was one in 2007. The changes are purely cosmetic: they darkened the headlights and chrome on the grille, added buttons on the steering wheel and black woodgrain inserts in the interior. And in 2008, the edging of the audio speakers in the doors was made silver.

More significant changes were made in August 2004. Then the 4-speed automatic was replaced by 5 and the 2.7-liter engine was updated.

Body

The frame of the TLC Prado 120 is associated with something unshakable and eternal, but this is not always the case. Its first enemy is corrosion. This is especially true for instances in the possession of “true SUVs”. Dirt and water get inside the frame and make the corrosion process almost irreversible.

In urban use and with anti-corrosion treatment, the problem of a rusty frame may not be. It is imperative to check, since a number is stamped on the frame (sometimes there are non-numbered ones). If the number is damaged or there are traces of non-factory welding, registration will not be possible.

The body itself corrodes reluctantly and also largely depends on the operation. The more dirt Prado sees, the more rust on it. Check the first outbreaks on the back door and under the plastic lining of the arches and doors. With severe chips on the hood, the paint may “swell”.

Toyota Prado has very easy to change plates with Vin-number. They are on rivets. Do not spare the money and time for a legal check of the car before buying. The love of Prado in criminal circles and the popularity of the model significantly increase the likelihood of meeting a “dubious copy”. The body number, frame and documents of the car should not raise any doubts.

Transmission

The gearboxes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 are also designed with a margin of safety. Mechanics are rare (21 out of 659 for sale). automatic box until August 2004 it was four-stage (A340), after - five (A750). This did not affect reliability. 200-300 thousand mileage without repair is quite a standard indicator.

Service life is greatly reduced by off-road “sally”, aggressive “rides” in the snow and constant towing of heavy loads. Therefore, before buying a Toyota Prado 120, be sure to pay attention to any shocks when switching and the smell of burning on the automatic transmission oil dipstick - this should not be. The probe, however, is only on a 4-speed gearbox. Changing the oil in an automatic transmission is not regulated by the manufacturer. But for a long and trouble-free operation of the box, it is better to change the oil every 60 thousand km.

Four-wheel drive does not cause much trouble. The margin of safety of gearboxes is 250+ thousand km. You need to keep the breather clean. If it is clogged, then due to pressure, the oil is squeezed out through the seals. And with insufficient lubrication, increased wear occurs. In other words, a clogged breather can quickly "kill" the gearbox.

Some 120s are equipped with a differential lock. But it is intended for use in extreme situations(if firmly stuck) and at minimum speeds (up to 8 km / h). It's like a firefighter - break the glass only in case of fire.

Brakes and steering

The braking system is not as thoroughly reliable as the rest of the components. Often due to irregular service. In order for the brakes to work like a clock, it is necessary to regularly clean and lubricate the guides of the calipers and pads. It is advisable to do this with every pad change. Replacement brake fluid every year or two (depending on mileage) will also extend problem-free braking.

Check the handbrake before buying. Replacing soured cables with work will cost $ 100.

The margin of safety of steering rods is huge. But the splines of the steering column and the cross of the steering cardan can disturb before 200 thousand mileage. If on potholes it “gives” into the steering wheel, then it’s time to change the elastic coupling. At "famous" services, the problem with the steering column is solved by replacing it as an assembly. At the service station it is simpler and with a “creative approach” you can solve the issue several times cheaper.

Taxiing is not the best forte 120th Prado. There is even a myth about his super propensity to roll over. There is some truth in this due to the high center of gravity and the “roll” of the suspension. But with adequate driving and a working suspension, it will be difficult to overturn the Prado.

Electrician

Without third-party intervention, electrical problems in the Land Cruiser Prado 120 rarely occur. Most often they are associated with air and adjustable suspension. These are body position sensors, the failure of which causes the body to skew. Cleaning helps for a while, but needs to be changed in the long run.

If adjustable suspension does not respond to switching modes, then, most likely, the wire in the corrugation on rear shock absorbers. Most often the left. It is repaired elementarily, some even do it with a paper clip.
