The facelifted 2018 Toyota Prado Kakadu is finally here and it now comes with extra towing capacity (3000kg), a new face and a revised interior.
But, at 2500kg, is the Prado getting a bit big for its boots? Paul Maric finds out.

I agree, new diesels have nowhere near the longevity of things like the TD42 or the 1HZ/1HD. I’d actually have the petrol 6 over the new 2.8, but theyve discontinued it now, so that disappoints me.

@terryyouth 6 жыл бұрын

it is not about going wrong. it is about what will change around you.(already lacking lane assist and auto parking) that you would want to have or forgo

@ubernoob103 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I have it on good authority from a toyota mechanic that the 2.8’s are having some pretty serious issues. I really was looking forward to seeing the 1UR in the new gen, but they axed it.

@michaelduong3852 6 жыл бұрын

wow the front end looks so muscular now. Liked the previous one, but now i like it even better! thank god i held back from buying one last year when there was a massive sale for one since i wanted to keep my landcruiser. now i might just be able to let the LC go and get one of these. But if only toyota will give us a v6 tt diesel or maybe even the V8 diesel in these prado. if they did that, i would buy it in a heart beat!

@louielambretta389 6 жыл бұрын

why do you want a prado over a landcrusier?

@michaelduong3852 6 жыл бұрын

Louie Lambretta because doing 25l per 100km is not fun. So much to the point that its a garage queen. In the past 9 years of owning her, I have driven just over 30k Kms on it.

@louielambretta389 6 жыл бұрын

LOL then why do you want a v8 in the prado

@michaelduong3852 6 жыл бұрын

Louie Lambretta because it actually does way better fuel economy than the v8 petrol land cruiser. I know that it can actually achieve 15 l per 100km since my mates land cruiser does that. Once in a while. Though you're right, it might not make sense at all since they can still be thirsty.

Also in my country we dont have the Kakadu trimline since it would compete with the Lexus GX460 that we do have on the Market.
