is a petrol prado capable
I am thinking of taking a petrol 2700cc prado 90series on a round trip from nigeria-niger-algeria-libya-egypt-sudan-ethiopia. Anyone know if the vehicle is capable of taking 4 passengers and a desert payload? Is it underpowered? I dont plan on going off-piste or sand duning. Apart from being heavier on fuel, is the petrol engine significantly inferior to a diesel? Or should i stick to an old 80 series 4.2? I have a 80 series but it requires a lot of work (and moolah!) to get it roadworthy and i have an option to acquire a prado. Just not sure if it will cut it.
