I will say buy the Prado.

I bought both.

A Toyota Fortuner in 2011 and a Toyota Prado in 2016.

Same 2.7 VVTI engine.

The Fortuner has more basic truck suspension. The Prado feels more "posh" and "big limousine" like on the road.

Both are fun. One costs more than the other. Fuel consumption is about the same.

Hi,

I am also faced with a similar situation, albeit between Prado (120) and the Hilux, both v6.

For comfort I will go with the Prado; it just handles much better and the looks appeal to me as well.

In S.A. there are TOO many Fortuners on the road and I don't like the way they drive.

Rand for rand (dollar for dollar) one is cheaper, lower miles on it etc etc.

At the end it comes down as to preference and which vehicle will meet your needs.
