    Hi All,

    First post for me on PP.

    How does this Brake Assist go on dirt roads? Where I live, I have 120kms of dirt from my place to the nearest sealed road and with the amount of roos and cattle on the road, I'm forever jumping on the brakes in my current car to avoid suicidal animals. I haven't picked up the Prado yet but thought I'd see what I was in for.

    Cheers,
    Nathan

      Just been out west and have to say, travelling at dusk dodging roos, that the added brake assist saved me a few times. Have never seen so many roos as coming back from Innaminka,Thargomindah, Cunamulla, St George. A couple of times I stood on the brakes as much as I was game to avoid a hit and the added braking was what saved me. Wife even asked if hearing rubber squeal on the dirt was normal.
      Was a bit annoyed at the extra brake applied on the inner city bypass in Brisbane before but all is forgiven now.

        Interesting stuff, had this happen the other day when a suicidal Roo decided to jump out in front of me with the trailer loaded with the MX bike and gear. Certainly felt weird having learnt to drive well before ABS and brake assist was the norm, when the car brakes harder than you expect.
        That said it is the first time in 55k that I have noticed it happen despite having to brake hard on a number of occasions in response to various muppet drivers, the first time towing a trailer though, obviously this was enough to get the system to think.
