We went to buy a 76 series , but ended up with a Prado.
After a brake controller/ radio/ Dc Charger/second battery/air Bags/ computer chip, was added we left a few dollars on the counter.
Tows the Nautilus about 2 ton ,very well, the Viscount...like a box trailer.
As a solo car (not counting the Mustang, which is club rego regulated) it is the family hack, dog carrier , grandkid pickeruperer.
Currently standard suspension, but will shortly have new rear shocks.
Off road, it handles well for a standard height & Grandtrek tires, when these wear out I will change to Bf Goodrich.
Our 5th Toyota, but next time the Ford Ranger will get a consideration, Prados have always been underpowered as standard, but the chip livens them up.

Vincent & the new Prado.
