you are the type of guy

100/10

Well written. The city nutheads dont get this and this car is a very bad choice for the city. The engine is good for the long journey and towing, but no good for quick accleration like you need in city and the suburbs. Toyota have actually decreased capacity of engine from 3.0 litre to 2.8 litre for last 2 years i think with no increase in power or torque??? Emmissions?

@@seapen9608 2.8 has more power and torque than the 3.0 and less emissions adding greater fuel economy and is up to current euro compliance.

Yes but the Prado Fortuner & Hilux now all have the 2.8 TD donk - with the renowned diesel particulate filter exhaust issues trying to meet clean air emissions regulations, & Toyota won’t admit they have a design / engineering flaw & either redesign & retrofit something that actually works under recall! Instead they are duck shoving the problems back onto owners! This is NOT what we came to expect from Toyota, once upon a time they looked after their customers as the valuable assets they actually are but seemingly those days are now dead. If it were me I’d steer away from the 2.8TD & opt for the more expensive twin turbo V8 TD 200 series.

@@ianmoone2359 from what I understand Toyota fixed the issues quickly. And provided more education to owners and sales staff on advising owners that these cars need to run on a highway for twenty mins per month initiating the burn feature for the DPF. I believe they added a manual button to activate it on newer models. I just hope car reviewers who I don't mind just understand that this is what people need. Maybe not them but for others. If manufacturers started listening to them all, pretty soon all options for proper tough long lasting and capable vehicles will be relegated to city SUVs. Trouble is, the city car reviewers are always comparing them to the likes of Santa Fe or Mazda CX models. Always mentioning the acceleration sucks and it handles without "feel". When your up the Territory on a dirt road, it's rained non stop for a week and you have to get across a bridge with flowing water and crocodiles if you get it wrong, none of these complaints matter.

that isn't relevant here though

mind to share which year of prado having V6 engine?

Mine is 2019 model. The V6 is still sold in my country.

What were you watching? Her eyes? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😅😂🤣🤣😂😅😅

The Mitsubishi Montero

Lexus GX460

The higher priced ones like the Lexus and Porsche. She is driving around the north shore so she will have been in Lexus and Porsche suv's. It's the old once you've had black you can't go back thing.

Deloached true I don’t want it for towing but I couldn’t believe it when the dealer was like ‘oh yeah u don’t want it for towing a caravan do you? No good for that..’ I was like wow, that’s a whole lot of car and money, I thought it would have more grunt tbh

The 2.8l does have plenty of power unless you want to tow a caravan on the freeway. Anyone who says it is gutless hasn't put their foot to the floor cos if they had they would see it gets to the speed limit effortlessly & in no time at all. The only place it wouldn't be quick enough is the autobahn in Germany so before you criticise it get in one & give it a real rev.

Eric Boothman I drive them almost every day at work. I can confirm they are gutless for modern conditions: you have to push them hard in everyday regional driving and this isn’t desirable. You want effortless power and torque, which these don’t have. I also drive Pajeros and frankly whilst the Prados are quieter, have better tech and are better on dirt the Mitsubishis drive and handle much better on bitumen. Sure if you’re a nomad with a van and thus don’t care about holding people up they’ll get you around smoothly but to be honest I think the Prados are talked up too much by the “Toyota or nothing” crowd.

This took 14s 0-100kmh with only driver loaded. If this gets fully loaded in a highway, try to overtake a single trailer truck, bus or a caravan will be a ‘mission impossible’.

I'm probably 7 months too late- but the colour is dusty bronze 🙂

Mega huge

What’s wrong with you, Toyota’s are great

R Soul I agree well said.

😂😂😂 thank you! Damnn toyota at it again hurting peoples feelings 😂😂

Spot on no one is forcing anyone to drive one. But I’d rather here comments about people’s experiences before losing any money on one.

Joshua Weyrich pick any car, you will find someone who has had an unpleasant experience and an axe to grind about it. The thing about a Prado though is you will always find a buyer for it if you want to get rid of it. Especially if it isn’t white in colour.

The newer range rover looks awful-the older pre 2014 model were the best looking

I was thinking the Same

Samoan family maybe ?

mohammed nihal rehman 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you're based in Australia, this is your best bet to see what splits the range up: www.toyota.com.au/main/prado/range

Thank you! I live in Central Asia.

The VXL trim is not available in Australia.

Nice job.😅😂😂😅😂🤣

It costs 3 times the fortuner in India

This is paradise.Its a small landcruiser.Ever tried the LC 200 or LWB rangerover? you will be weeping instead of crying like now

she did mention, many times, that it is a very very big car. I think she was comparing to other smaller 7 seaters like the Kluger that still manage bigger boots than the Prado..

James Allerton but that comes at a cost... small 3 row 🤷🏽‍♂️ you cant have best of both worlds

@@isaialeuila9327 Yes you can, Ford Expedition Max version!

Usman Tariq BUT THAT CANT GO OFFROAD AS WELL AS THE PRADO CAN IT?! see my point ?! You cant have best of both worlds you either have one or the other.

Usman Tariq the ford expedition are for people who dont want vans ....

@Mr. Cairo Duh...

UnlimitedGaming8238. I agree. Remember that if you take the underslung spare you sacrifice the 150l Ltr fuel tank which is pretty important when tracking around Australia or other parts of the remote world. Not so important if you are taking the kids to school at Bondi Beach (I have a VW Golf for that)..🤪

@@jimmyjimmy951 You can still add a fuel tank-this car was not just made for the aussie outback.In the rest of the civilized world, petrol stations are everyhwre

GoldenBoy So you remove the tank and then add a tank? Fu**ing genius comment from the “civilised” part of the world where “petrol” stations are plentiful for filling up the Diesel tank..😂 🤪🤣

@@jimmyjimmy951 The point is anything can be added if removed-very easy.And petrol stations are everywhere-why would u want a bulky ugly wheel on the back of your car.Look at a range rover LWB

GoldenBoy you make no sense so I will concede as I can never hope to compete with your level of stupidity or narrow minded approach. Blocked.🤐

Matthias Lillis, will see you stuck in the car park while after you run over a kerb...🤣😂😅😂🤣🤣😂😅😂🤣🤣

Hem57i , that gives you less type options. Bigger wheels = more noise, less comfort, more fuel and greater cost on tyres? What’s the benefit to bigger rims unless you are rock crawling?

@@jimmyjimmy951 I mean Bigger overall tyre size. Not bigger rims. Same size 17" rims, but larger profile tyres. Prados 265/65R17 Is a similar size tyre that my Grand Cherokee has. I think the tyre size is just big enough for the Grand, the Prado is a larger vehicle and probably should have slightly bigger tyres. Then again people don't use them offroad so whats the point in making a 4x4 vehicle better for offroading

Fully Loaded Auto Detailing Hub Co. she only goes off road when she has had a few to many chardonnays on the way to pick the kids up.

She did drive past the beach...😂

Because females don't understand such things.

Buy the Kakadoo? 🤣😂😅😂🤣

Diesel..better fuel economy and if your driving manual it won't stall as in stall but diesel is waay better than petrol

Fehzan Ahmed thanks

You can definitely feel the weight of the vehicle when driving it.

Hey, the kids could even take advantage of the 12v power point in the back next to the rear climate controls! How about that for an idea?

Made me feel uneasy

Cicadas. These insects are very noisy at certain times of the year.

ottoswinebar WTF are you talking about saying it’s based on a Hilux? It’s a 4X4 Prado? Go do a bit of homework before you come back....🤣😂😅🤐

Jimmx Jimmx Ah, good Ol Jim, you’re so full of wisdom. Well, I’ll just go back to my box. Thanks for the heads up on doing some research, and all this time, while working late into the night changing injectors, here I was thinking the Hilux and Prado were similar in some way. Not sure why. My Bad

ottoswinebar Similar in that they share an engine and gear box. Now other similarities are it has four wheels, doors, windscreen wipers and even a steering wheel. 🤡🤣😂😅

Jimmx Jimmx wow, they share the same gearbox?? The engine is the also exactly the same, no differences? What about the 4x4 system? Is that the same as the SR5, or did Toyota just make one specificity for the Prado?

ottoswinebar. Read the seventh word of my last post and a clue is it starts with E... Now for some basics. The Prado is a ladder chassis with a permanent 4WD system. The Hilux is on a global platform and has an electronic AWD system and runs in RWD most of the time. Now let’s point you in the direction of the Toyota Fortuna... Because you are clearly comparing the wrong car! On that point I am giving up on this post as will never be able to compete with your outstanding level of stupidity. 🤣😂🤣

QWETIS

I paid $7000 less than that

Gyan the dealer told me you can replace the filter for free

Nope, it has a manual dpf burn off button if needed.

Just use manual burn out

Manual burn off is ridiculous tho like it’s literally just a patch job on what’s actually a really major problem. Colorado/navara/ranger/Triton/dmax all run dpf and don’t have this problem. My Colorado gives me a message on the dash when I need to continue driving to let it do it’s thing Seems like it doesn’t matter how far you drive the hilux they still clog up and stuff out

all of you guys are wrong, get a angle grinder and hack that dpf off😂😂😂

Meek Acumen welcome to basically every Toyota vehicle. Not to mention that the infotainment system is hideous and it carries over to the Lexus range

Meek Acumen believe me, most Toyota’s are like this and still sell like hot cakes just bc it is a Toyota, I guess reliability wins over fancy tech

@@medz3398 It's completely different from the lexus one, yet the toyota one is also crap.

Nikola Martinis and here is the problem. People have this notion in their heads that Toyota’s are so reliable. Firstly they still use old tech, secondly they also have problems. The difference being that majority of Toyota’s buyers aren’t the kind who are on the internet letting it be known. They literally make white goods on wheels that aren’t even in the middle of the class when compared to other vehicles

@@nikolanikola8543 reliable? Robust? Are you talking about modern Toyota? Do some research on faults with the new Toyota 2.8l diesel turbo engine... You will quickly find that is is very unreliable in relation to its dpf filter which when full cripples the car and requires a manual dpf clean. Toyota's from the 90's were excellent. Towards the late 90's however, Toyota started lacking and nowadays they are some of the most boring cars on the road.

Sui Deng land cruiser is build to last. They are not for urban commuters at all.

This model Prado came out in 2009 so given Toyota's record of hanging onto a shape for 10 years and giving it small updates and facelifts throughout its life which is all it needs, I would expect to see an all new Prado and possibly LandCruiser in the next year or a little longer I'd say. But unlike Ford who need to bring an all new shape out every five years it seems to keep the car selling, Toyota don't, they just refine their cars with updates like I already said every three years roughly. Lastly Toyota did do a major drivetrain upgrade which lets face it is the most important thing on the car back in 2015 or 2016 when they switched from the 1KD engine to the new 1GD engine.
