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.

An old myth. Plenty of issues with the 2.8TD in the Prado.

Well, your welcome to buy a Land Rover or Jeep product. LoL.

@ubernoob103 6 лет назад

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 лет назад

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 лет назад

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 лет назад

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 лет назад

why do you want a prado over a landcrusier?

@michaelduong3852 6 лет назад

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 лет назад

LOL then why do you want a v8 in the prado

@michaelduong3852 6 лет назад

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.

@TheRooSkittler 6 лет назад

@TheJaytotheBee 6 лет назад

Daniel Cox What do you mean? For me diesel is better for off-roading with Its low down torque rather than having a v6/v8 petrol Which needs to be higher in the rev range to get the same or similar torque numbers

@DunateoRom8v37 5 лет назад
