Hello,

I have a toyota prado jeep. Like this one:

I would like to know how much freon in pounds should I charge the prado's ac system with.

I also have a mitsubishi l200 double cabin pickup. Like this one:

The Prado calls for 700 grams +or-50. If it has rear air, 900.

If your truck is the MK, 600 grams.

How much should those 700 grams of refrigerant measure in pounds when connected to a gauge?

The spec has nothing to do with pressure. 700 grams means you would start with the system empty (vacuum) and put in 700 grams of refrigerant. That is done by weighing the container of refrigerant while you charge. This is the only approved method to be certain you have the correct charge. Charging by pressure is always uncertain.
