  • I signed a contract on Saturday for a Graphite GXL with tow pack, fabric mats, rego with premium plates, loan car on service - for $64,500.00.
    Best other offer I received was $67,000.00. Original quote was over $71,000.00.

    • Can anyone confirm that the GCM has increased by 500k? I cannot find anything in the specs on toyota.com.au.

        NZ models are a bit different in that they are not equipped with the second fuel tank and that allows the spare tyre to be mounted under the body. So no Kakadu here but instead the 'Limited' which is essentially the same as the Kakadu minus the extra tank. (Most countries have the NZ version).

          Ah okay, you're talking about NZ. That sounds essentially like the Altitude models here in Oz, which has been discontinued this refresh.

            Saw 5990kg quoted on net today. Have a Google search to confirm.

            Auto trans has an oil cooler.

            300kg ball weight was quoted by Northpoint Toyota and no stipulation for weight distribution hitch over a certain mass.

            Would be great if GXL was available as 5 seater.

            GX doesn't have diff lock as standard, ditto roof rails and running boards.

            I wonder if these could be optioned??

            Should make a good towtug.

            • Hi All,

              I have created the following simple 2 question form (with additional optional questions) to get an idea of what people are getting their 2018 Prados for.

              https://goo.gl/forms/ZkPgFK4gA2tLKSgG3

              The live results can be found here as people fill out the form for everyone to see:

              https://goo.gl/9kjE58

              So if you have gone and enquired or bought a 2018 Prado, let us know the price you got it down to, and if you're like me and looking to buy, hopefully this little database will help your negotiations.

              I have also posted this in a few FB groups.

              Thanks

              p.s I have taken the liberty of collecting some of the info already posted in this forum, a couple of pages back now, so if you have mentioned your purchase here, I might have already added it.

              • In regards to those asking about KDSS feedback...
                We have done 40000 in our 2015 Kakadu with KDSS and absolutely love it, it is soooooooo smooth over outback dirt roads, brilliant all over Fraser Island and even better on the highways or in the city for the wife. I have put BFG KO2 on it and its sill quiet as. Hope that helps with the decision

                  Hi Ben....i'm looking at putting a set of BFG KO2's on my new Kakadu next week seeing as the tyre shop will give me $125 each trade-in on the factory tyres while they're new, was wondering about the increased road noise though.....are yours the A/T's and are you running the original size 265/60/R18 or did you go for the cheaper but 27mm taller 265/65/R18 that the tyre guy is trying to talk me into? You're spot on about the KDSS.....that's the only reason why i'm going from the VX to a Kakadu, it's worth it imo.

                    I went for the 265 60 18 and if you do all 5 at least the spare will still fit inside the rear housing, (I am not sure the slightly taller ones will allow this) I paid $407 per tyre fitted here in SA about 6 months ago. I am amazed at how quiet they are. Recently we did 2500km over to Ceduna, Pt Lincoln and even the wife said she couldn't notice any difference with the noise!! I personally would stick to the original sizing. I am jealous of the new bus! I really like the new lights!! You will love the Kakadu

                      Thanks Ben......think i'll do the same and stick with the original size, didn't think about the spare cover! I've found Bob Jane the cheapest at $398ea fitted but won't trade-in the factory tyres whereas Tyre Power will and with the trade-in are $360ea fitted so will probably go with that.......counting down the sleeps to next week, always wanted a sunroof(not that i've got much hair left to blow in the wind!)

                        Why not get a steal on the current Kakadu, Do you need the 3 T rating ?
                        It all comes down to what your intended use is, we wanted something nice day to day but also very good off-road with out running 35" tyres and feeling like a truck.

                        It's been over a year and still think it was the best choice for us, the only 1 thing that is not great is the fuel economy now that it is all setup it sits on about 12.5-13 per 100 the biggest increase in usage was going up in tyre size. But motors still young hopfully it improves a little.

                        We don't regret buying a 2016, even now I would take a deal on a run out Kakadu if it was worth while $$$

                        Good luck and keep us posted.

I wouldn't recommend anybody naming dealers that are giving good prices. I have learnt that some dealers get very nasty when there cash cow is being threatened by dealers with sharp prices. It's just a matter of shopping around. For example, i got this price from a dealer just over an hours drive away......passing 2 other dealers along the way that wouldn't come near that price. Both these dealers demanded to see the deal in writing before they would even consider trying to match it......which I know would have given them the info they needed to ring the offending dealer and abuse the crap out of them.
                                Hi
                                Can I assume that this is a Lease price? I'm thinking of doing just that and the best I can get so far with same acc except a genuine bull bar for ~$87k
                                Cheers
