I guess as long as you can bear the difference in the 'interior design' of both vehicles than $15K can be used to build the MUX to a better tourer and/or a rock hopper... for me, it is the engine that counts and ISUZU has the proven history (reliability)...

I can definitely bare the difference in fact to me it makes no difference. The interior of either car will look like crap after 10 years of ownership with two kids!
Billy:
More trivia - Looks like Toyota have put the Fortuner in front of Prado in the line-up, wonder what the thinking is there?
Big Damo:
I was looking at the very sexy Everest but the prices stopped me from getting serious.
Was also going to wait and see the Fortuner as the prices seemed better and appearance in the email photos also looked good
However the Isuzu dealer was prepared to meet a very reasonable drive away price. probably due to the soon to be released fortuner and I couldn't walk away.
Now that I have seen the Toyota in the flesh I can definitely say that we got the better looking car
Also think that over time the mux mechanically will outlast with it's low stress running gear

Billy we are much the same. Have had Toyotas for many years and now have our MUX. We are caravanners and the tow capacity of the Isuzu was a major factor for us when buying. Prado is rated at 2.5T and is very expensive. In addition I always feel like Toyotas are a bit light on for extras given what you are paying. The Fortuner has a bit better tow capacity and is marginally cheaper but like all Toyotas is still expensive. All that I can say is that the Toyota lineup is getting very congested. I would love to know if they have plans to drop something out of their range in the near future. Time will tell hey?
For the money we are happy with MUX.
Cheers
Brian
