Facelift for 150 series prado

[KIMBOPRADO]

Picked the new girl up today. drove about 20k then gave it to my wife. She's very happy ….

I assume you gave her the car (just know how other PP members think!)

I was at Ironman 4x4 today getting some work done and found out they are developing a bar for the facelift 150, I wished them good luck.

Mazda dont seem to put variant badges on either and haven't for a while.

Seems an odd move, even super cheap cars have model badges. There was a shiny new Kakadu in the car park at work yesterday, it had a model badge. After seeing one in the flesh I still don't like the headlights and grille, the interior looks good though.

I am not sure it is an option for the prado?

bmw have done this for years, it was/is an option, so that the uneducated onlooker doesn't know if you are driving the base 318 or the top range 335 etc

Not having model badges seems to be the new approach, at least for GXL and VX. Can make it challenging!

Pick up my new VX crystal pearl before the weekend. Asked TJM about a bar and they have a new Prado that they are working on to make the adjustments. They reckon early next year. Snorkel is the same and tow bar is also all good. 75K drive away. Didn't give the ming mole any joy I said if something happens to the paint I'll be knocking on your door. My only purchase will be the rubber toyota mats they're a good buy.
The extra fruit on a Kak not worth the extra 14K. The main difference I could see was the suspension, rear diff lock, blindspot,radar cruise, sunroof, and memory seats,and multi mode 4wd.. everything else is the same.

which dealer did you go through on the sunny coast?

Toyota saving a few dollars.

Toowoomba Toyota has a white one. Unable to tell if its a GXL. There is no model badge on the rear door. They look good but the front will be a challenge for bullbars! Centre instrument panel looks better with large touch screen. I assume its a GXL because of the 17 inch rims. Headlights are quite high up and the grill goes down quite a long way into the redisigned bumper.

Just received email from ARB ref bulbar . I don't see how old one would fit due to the bar getting the way of the new lights so it may be a long wait!

Good afternoon Chris

Thank you for your email regarding your New Prado.

I am unsure when a bull bar will be available the R&D team will be working on finding out if the previous bar will fit if not we will be going about designing a new bar to suit.

Updates will be available through our facebook page and Website as new information is released.

I’d welcome the opportunity to have you visit the showroom to discuss your options and pricing in the mean time if you would like a copy of our latest catalogue I would be happy to send it out to you.
Should you have any further questions or if you wish to order these parts please don’t hesitate to contact me on 6254 2367 or via this email.

Kindest Regards

Maybe you should talk about this in the Pathfinder thread. It's distracting.

Are you easily distracted by Nissan's?

Had a look at the new pathfinder today, may have trouble getting over a kerb to find a path without knocking off that pretty skirt. But presumably it handles okay as it sits low to the ground and has some nice aero stuff attached.
