Your next 4WD could cost less than you think
The Toyota LandCruiser Prado is a popular choice for Territory drivers, offering off-road capability, comfort and practicality. But if you're shopping for a new 4WD, it's worth exploring the alternatives before making your decision.
Whether you need a seven-seat family SUV, a capable touring vehicle or a versatile dual-cab ute, there are several options worth considering.
And with a novated lease through AANT Salary Packaging, you could potentially save on your next vehicle and its running costs.
What are the best Toyota Prado alternatives?
The Isuzu MU-X and Ford Everest offer seven-seat SUV alternatives to the Toyota Prado, while the Ford Ranger provides a dual-cab ute option for drivers who need additional versatility.

How do these vehicles compare to the Toyota Prado?
The Toyota LandCruiser Prado GX remains an option worth considering, particularly if you're looking for a dedicated 4WD SUV.
AANT's current 2026 Prado GX offer starts from $379 per week, with estimated tax savings of $18,596.
While the MU-X, Everest and Ranger have lower advertised weekly payments, choosing the right vehicle involves more than price.
Consider how many passengers you regularly carry, whether you need towing capability, the type of roads you drive and your ongoing running costs.
If you're comparing a Prado with a Ranger, remember that you're also choosing between an SUV and a ute, each with different practical benefits.
Could salary packaging make your next 4WD more affordable?
With a novated lease through AANT Salary Packaging, eligible employees can combine vehicle finance and budgeted running costs into regular payments through their salary.
These costs can include insurance, registration, servicing, tyres and fuel.
Depending on your circumstances, salary packaging may also provide tax savings, while AANT's fleet buying arrangements could help reduce the purchase price of your vehicle.
You don't need to have made your final vehicle choice to start exploring your options.
