  • Drove the new Prado 3.0 vs 2.8

    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!

    The 120 is lighter and the 2.8 needs 30000Ks on the clock to loosen up. Otherwise, there is still not much in it.

      Agreed Bobcrusader, the weight difference is probably what you are feeling Turbo.

      That said, I went from a 120 3.0 to a 150 2.8 and it tows better that the 120. More planted on the road and I put that down to the extra weight.

      p.s No DPF burn button as far as I noticed...
