Safari vs landcruiser VX

Hi guys,
Please forgive me for I have had unclean thoughts...

Here's the guts.
We had a '88 Non turbo long high safari. We camped in her and drove her up and down the country. But the main reason we had her is that we regularly tow a boat (~2 tonne).
We were all happy... until
last Wed eve "some b$%%$^ nicked of wiv it"
That's right
"Stole my car, stole my car"

Apologies to OMC for use of their lyrics. (Aren't you glad I didn't sing it)

Now, the market here is fairly well stocked with Prado VX but hardly any Safari.
Hence the question... How do they compare? Are there any years I should avoid if I go that way?

Thanks for your forgiveness for my waywardness.
Dave

Oh Dear!.. Sorry for your loss mate. I thought you were asking about a GQ v 80 Series. GQ v Prado and its a No Brainer. find another Safari if you can mate. especially against an early Prado.

Sorry to hear the scumbags swiped your wheels but the only advantage the Prado would have is no-one would want to pinch it...
