Ill have to give Toyota that the fridge in the Sahara is bloody amazing works so well the 2 times we took one for a drive before buying the D4 i threw it on for fun and it no time at all it was cool as in there plus its fan forced so chills down nice and quick plus as you said the size is great to!!

LRs fridge is next to hopeless so tiny cant even fit a 600ml bottle of water in there maybe 3 cans i dunno.

Apparently there is only 2 models of Prado in the UK which they call Landcruiser, base is called Icon and top is called Invincible, pretty different to our GX GXL VX and KAKADU hahaha.

And the 200 series is called Landcruiser V8 it appears similar spec to a Sahara although looks like more fruit and starts from 65,000 pounds and the Prado starts at 47,000 pounds.

I can certainly fit four 600ml bottles or four cans in my fridge.

You can get some gadget off fleabay and hack the latest FFRR.Apparently 297 were stolen in one month in London

The 1970 model classic is probably more secure....
