2012 gxl

My 2011 has all that except the 12V in the back. There is one in the rear of centre console. The Marine is a bit of a giveaway that it isn't standard kit as normally the Toyota ones have 12V 120W MAX written on them as the entire outlet circuit is protected by the same 10A fuse...

The Marine thing is rather odd. Nevertheless, that's how it came from the dealer. I didn't ask them to put it there, and I certainly didn't do it myself. The one in the rear of the centre console is still there.

So the 2011 had the Lock & Unlock buttons on the rear door? The 2010 didn't, and that was most annoying.

The Owner's Manual shows both 12v and 220VAC power outlets in the "Luggage compartment" of 5 door models with the usual ominous qualification "(if equipped)".

It claims that:
"The power outlet can be used when
12v: The "ENGINE START STOP" switch is in ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode
220VAC: The "ENGINE START STOP" switch is in IGNITION ON mode"

Yes. I wonder if the dealer prepped the car for someone else and the deal fell through?

I see Steve's 2010 had the buttons on the rear door. Mine didn't. Well, at least I cannot imagine that neither my wife nor I didn't notice. On this car, she noticed them before I did. Now I'll have to prowl the shopping centre car park to look at other 150s

Leaves me wondering, just what is the employee discount?

Interesting idea... we should all get jobs with Toyota. I'm off to tidy up my resume a bit .

LFaR.

A Toyota factory worker with 5 years service is entitled to 21% off RRP. What other levels exist i am not sure? Holden workers get 25% off after 5 years service but all the car companies offer different levels. My father used to work for a componants supplier to toyota and mitsubishi and they received the " presidents supplier awards " and they were as good as staff pricing... pity he is retired !

Certainly has the bigger mud flaps ...... compared to mine anyways ...... and that socket is a bit odd I agree.....

That 12 volt power plug is most definitely NOT Toyota. It looks very much like a Baintech 12 volt flush mount socket. You can find these halfway down this website:

I had a brief gander at mine new arrival at the dealer last night and not knowing much of previous 150s I did note it had privacy glass and also the mud flaps did look a bit longer. Wouldn't know about the rest.

I was a bit fixed at how light in colour the headliner was. What knob chose they should be built in such a light grey colour for a 4x4? I'll have to look at putting sealer on that for certain! One swipe of a dusty hand would create a mess.

Mine is a Feb 2010 build date and has the lock & unlock buttons on the rear door too. I thought they were standard, at least on GXL and above?

Cheers

Correct, I can guarantee it does...

If you work for Toyota, you can get into a new Prado every year, sell it after 12 months and never have to dip into your pockets due to the Toyota employee discount being greater than depreciation on typical drive away pricing.

:O Mr Yotota, I would love a job please! lol

My Jan 11 150 Series had the lock/unlock buttons on the rear door. No longer my bus though

My December 2009 pick-up has lock/unlock buttons on the door (150 GXL - second boat to Oz). Sorry thrasherdave but I think you may have over looked them...
