Was driving down Albany HWY in Victoria Park (wa) near the cafe strip n noticed a vx prado with a lift up rear door and no rear tyre, When did this become available?

You sure it wasnt a Fortuner?

It's a 150, I've spied one too

[ochre Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ochre]

That's the unit. I couldn't see any other changes other than the side steps

as nice a feature as that is, I don't think I'll be rushing out to upgrade

It looks as though the 2013 model went back up to 180lt, if you believe redbook

Mud flaps look short.

The original mudflaps on my 150 were short too till I had the re-designed ones fitted.

that is the same as my nz prado, the vx is one model below your kakadu, the vx loses the sunroof, adjustable suspension, and satnav. our nz base model glx has the tyre on the back door but the vx and vx ltd have the spare underneith, our tanks are smaller ( so is our country!).

I like having the tyre on the back, can tell how far to reverse that way.

Some of the other changes:

- The floor has been lowered 38.1 mm at the third row of seats to ensure ample foot space.- KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) characteristics refined- Low Beam: LED (Light Emitting Diode) / High beam: HID Projector type / Corner Lamp: LED- Speedometer - Optitron meter Colour display

I was out last week at a restaurant & heard a couple of guys talking about Prados. One of the guys was some type of senior exec from Toyota or something not sure about the other but they were talking about the facelift model due out later this year. As it was noisy I couldn't make out the whole conversation so the following are just pieces that I could make out.

They were talking about one model in particular but I missed which one but it should be the same across each model ie No mechanical change, There are also supposed to be more options included - what exactly I'm not sure as I couldn't hear.

I realise its not much at all but I did get excited when I realised that's what they were talking about even if I am only ever so slightly more informed with this vague amount of tidbits
