LMAO so real. You can either have a Prius that eats nothing, or in my case, a Highlander with only a 3.5 V6 getting 13 MPG in the city 😂😂😂

​@@giovanigeorgis3848 he's talking about how Toyotas for a while chronically burned oil because of those low tension rings.

Perpetual oil change! You pour it in the top, it blows it out the back. Fresh oil year round!

And even fights when americans try to steal it

Oh it eats something when that 4 cylinder paired to the hybrid kicks in, which is like hardly ever. My aunt used to own a prius and she said she could go ages between fuel stops because she mostly did city driving. Now she owns a Venza Hybrid, same story but better because its a less than 10 years old hybrid system ​@@giovanigeorgis3848

Fun fact, most oil that's converted into petroleum/gasoline comes from dead plant matter long before the Dinosaurs went extinct.

the prados are the little version of the landcruisers with half the engine prados tend to have at most a v6 usually a i4 single turbo, meanwhile the landcruisers have at least a v6 and usually a twin turbo V8 😂

@@datutturugang666 You got me there!

What if you are the tool that is being transported by the tool that gets you to your tools?

I've seen them around here for as low as €900. Shipping and import costs into Australia from Europe would be multiples of that though

hi aero

I don't think we got the multipla in Australia. At least from what I've seen, Fiat have only been really active here the last few years with the 500 and the Spider.

@@zappy595 omg hiiii

You mean the 60's one?

also have to account the suspension. the rear prob sinks down under acceleration

They aren't that heavy? Like 2.2t.

@@maxwellpriore3579 the Air Suspension (wich this Prado has) especially likes to sink in, really comfy and great for offroading, that’s about it.

Ok I had to google what the Sequoia was and that's a laughably huge vehicle that is flat out too large for residential streets in most countries outside of North America. I live in the UK and to get out of my neighbourhood I have to pass through a 6 foot 6 width restriction designed to keep heavy goods vehicles like that out.

yeah the US's thing with SUVs is ridiculous. i don't feel like googling but I'm pretty sure the Prado would be considered "mid sized". the 4runner is about the same size, the sequoia is bigger, the highlander and grand highlander arent off roaders but i think are longer. all of these are offered as lexus models too, including the big land cruiser, though i can't really pin that as an American thing. but yeah, vehicles that Wade is saying are humongous like the Prado are average sized in the US

@@aseheavyindustries798 and to think there's still people complaining about these monstrosities not being "big enough" never even do anything with these vehicles, they just want them big

@@dirtpounder What do you mean the M4A4 Sherman Firefly isn't the ideal family vehicle?

Yet they have the same size donk. Just stupidly big car with no power

EPA’s fault in the US not salesmen.

It's that, "arms race" bit too. Safety is a consideration many people make, and when you have rednecks rolling coal in a jacked up 5 ton behemoth, a Ford Focus is little more than a speed bump... I'm sure more people would drive small cars but there's also the mentality of, "what if I SUDDENLY need to move a fridge" so many people bring up. 99% of my vehicle usage is commuting alone. 99% of my wife's usage is groceries or driving to visit family. We don't need a diesel cathedral lol. I want Kei cars in America. I LOVE tiny efficient cars. It saddens me the US has basically abandoned that market so we get trash like the Fiesta and Mirage with aluminum foil CVTs in them... I basically want a motorcycle with air conditioning.🤣

Australia is currently in the grips of Light Pickup Truck Fever, despite them being more impractical than an SUV and no middle class suburbanites using the tray/beds to haul things as intended. Australians also call these light pick ups "utes". Wade's Bruce 1 & 2 are true car-based utes.

@@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 Who makes the decision to peddle the cars to everyone though, mate. Its not the EPA.

​@SissypheanCatboy There's definitely a segment of the population that doesn't want to feel like their car is a compromise between regulators and auto manufacturers. And the way CAFE standards are set up those people are given an out, which is to simply buy a larger vehicle. It's poorly designed legislation. But how much responsibility it has in shifting the tastes of American consumers towards larger vehicles is impossible to tell, but it certainly helped cement the paradigm that bigger = better, and made the upsale job of the salesman a whole lot easier. Hopefully as EVs grow market share in the coming decades there will be a wide range of mid sized trucks and crossovers that can compete, match and even outperform the full size trucks on power.

Turbo deez NUTS!!!!

i mean he made the joke himself in the video so like

oh he said it

i'm afraid wade is ahead of y'all here 6:09

He literally says it in the video lol

you haven’t seen them before? they’re really not that big they are the same width as a normal car just a little taller and longer, better aerodynamics n’ shit (and it fits in a normal parking spot)

@@Slavicplayer251 it just looks insane in the thumbnail lol

@@sammycooly1709 compared to the nuggets it does lol

Americans think it's small because they have fuckin' lifted twincab F150s

​@@OutbackCatgirlExactly. This mf would be HUMONGOUS if I saw it irl😂

The US gets the Prado now! It is sold as just “Landcruiser” because the actual J70/J300 isn’t sold there, but they have it now!

We did get this generation of Prado here in the states, it was just a rebadged Lexus, Called the GX

​@@deep_drift And you got it with the 4.6 v8

They have the 4Runner instead. Which is also based on the Prado. Alongside the Lexus-badged Prado.

They have it as the "Lexus GX 460"

With the fuel economy of that diesel, I’d rather get the v8. More reliable and significantly cheaper to fix.

When I saw the interior I thought it woulda been a Lexus stateside. Too much like the LS430 and even my ES330 compared to regular Toyotas. Im more into Lexus’ cars than SUVs so I was a bit confused for a moment 😂

@@josephsamsor1698the only issues i had in 13 years of ownership and 360.000km with the 3.0 D-4D are as follows: Failed diesel pump at 30.000km (factory warranty), failed Alternator at 310.000km. Yeah. That’s it.

@@josephsamsor1698 A gasser V8 would have even more terrible fuel mileage.

You can always motor swap if it’s really a desire to have a diesel prado in the US. I mean we are just now getting into the market of regular size pick ups having proper diesel engine alternatives

It’s an Executive (highest tier prado) that had a touchscreen satnav even in 2002. it’s the pinnacle of early 2000s luxury in an indestructible offroader.

Especially because it's a crime to have one hooked up if you aren't actively towing.

Hells yea! Good times

isn’t a litre of diesel supposed to go further than petrol?

This is worse, because diesels are supposed to be more efficient. Diesel is more energy dense.

That sounds familiar, diesels have been banned in my country for a long time so I don’t have day to day experience with them. I watched the video and thought “yeah, I remember diesel is different, this makes sense”. I’ll edit the comment

Diesel has more energy per liter, runs a leaner air fuel mixture and diesel engines generally have a higher volumetric and thermal efficiency. There appears to be a lot of fuel going into that engine that isn't being turned into power. Maybe the auto trans isn't locking up or the bands are starting to slip. All things being equal, that should get much better fuel economy than the donkey van.

diesels should get more miles per gallon than an equivalent petrol but the massive drag factor of 4WD, off road tyres and the aerodynamics of a small office building offset that. My diesel van will happily get 40mpg highway because it is aerodynamic and has relatively small tyres, not to mention an engine half the size of the Land Cruiser. A 6 speed manual gearbox helps too because I get to decide when to kick down

Same!

7.3 gang ayyy, chuckled when he said big diesel

Is diesel $3.00 a litre where you live ?

@@bigdog440sp I thought that my self. Even in aus we have bigger. The proper landcruisers are 4+ litres. And we've started to get your bigger stuff more more often. So maybe we can get a ram cummins on the literboard with 'THE HILL' score of 2rpm

@@Braskus how common are the US trucks and SUVs there? I know they've been starting to import them there, just curious if they're still a rarity or if they're becoming more popular

Do you propose some kind of test to determine who's worthy of driving what?

​@@AlexLR We already have a test for other types of vehicles. They're called drivers license classes.

@@AlexLR Nah, a weight-based sliding scale tax with offsets would do. Live in the country? You get a tax offset! Rural fire-fighter? You get a tax offset! Own a business that requires you to travel out to whoop-whoop? Tax offset! This way, people who still need these vehicles aren't penalised, but those who just want them for clout have to pay up.

Or a suburban. Or the monstrosity that is an avalanche
