Hi All,
I test drove the new Prado yesterday. I love the facelift, looks fantastic! The interior and dash look great too. Don't like the silver around the centre console but no biggie.
I think it drove very nice and smooth. A lot quieter than my 3.0L 2008 model!
My main concern to me was power delivery, I felt it had a very smooth acceleration but my 120 series felt like it pulled it a bit more. Not sure if it's my mind playing games since I have read it doesn't pull as good as the 3.0L when it comes to towing. I was hoping you could feel a bit more since on paper it has increased on both power and torque compared to my 120 series.
I forgot to check, but does the new Prado have a DPF switch like the 200 series?
I will be towing a 2.3T boat - so far I am thinking of staying with my 3.0L.
How is everyone finding the towing with the new 2.8?
Thanks!
