Cambelt. They are thirsty too, with automatic transmissions that aren't the greatest.

I've got one just like it with a 2.7 diesel engine, done over 250 000kms, well serviced too. How it got to such a high mileage without any problems is beyond me.

OP, I had one for five years, most of the tales about them are just that - tales.
For a two-ton vehicle, they are not as bad on gas as painted, mine was consistently in the 12-13L/100Km around town, and treated gently on a trip, 10L/100Km was entirely possible.
They are not, however, bought to save money - they are bought to do a job.
Towing is a breeze.
I never had any problems with the transmission, I bought at 150,000Km and sold at 225,000Km, and the only real expense I had was the cambelt + ancillaries at 200K.Km. wasn't cheap, at $950.00, but well worth it.
They are no Lamborghini, but, for the money, good value.
Good luck to your friend.
