I've been driving the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado for so many years, and it definitely doesn't feel light, weighing around 2,200 to 2,400 kilograms. Such a heavy body makes it extremely stable to drive, especially on highways or snowy days—unlike smaller cars that tend to drift or slide, which gives me peace of mind. However, the downside of the weight is higher fuel consumption; in daily city driving, 13 liters per 100 kilometers is common, and the fuel costs can be painful. Fortunately, the engine is reliable, and during maintenance, the technician mentioned the robust chassis structure, which uses high-strength steel, resulting in a high safety rating. If you frequently go off-roading, the weight provides better traction, making it less prone to slipping in mud—a major advantage even for urban use. When carrying cargo or traveling with the family, the spacious interior and stable weight reduce the risk of rollover, but I'd recommend opting for the four-wheel-drive version for better balance.
