Facelift for 150 series prado

[Ian Reid]

Hi Hem. The updated (2014) model VX should have the updated console with apps etc. My VX was part of the first shipment of updated version and it has the updated console. Build and compliance plates 5th Sept 2013.

Hi All,
First post and I have a rather silly/embarrassing question, but I saw so many different models that I cant remember what I ended up getting
I am picking up my VX tomorrow and now I am really confused about the difference between the uplifted 2012 model and the 2014 model.
So I paid $75K, the build Date is Sept 2013, Compliance date: Sept 13. The dealer said it was the "uplifted" version.
I am really hoping that is has the updated center console, the one that has the "apps" button.
Everything I am seeing on carsales shows the older style console, even though they say it is the "uplifted" model.

Can anyone verify which one it should be ?

I don't want to be "hood winked"

Kind Regards,
Hem

A LED lightbar under each headlight would fill the gap under each headlight.

i guess you have room under the headlights to mount spotties on the corners of the bar?

Is there a difference in driving dynamics bet last years GXL nth is years one?

They changed the dampers so most probably, but it might be subtle.

I don't. I just drag them along behind on an old pallet attached with a rope.

Nice.

So how do you squeeze all the family into your Prado now?

Made me think of this.... yes that is a mattress on the roof, and yes being used for passengers... comfort before safety!

It's a grab handle for the back row passengers when you put 8 on the bonnet for those big family moves around the central lands district.

I'd suggest it gives side strength for when they need to 'move' a bull

The windscreen wipers

I reckon this bar would improve the asthetics of the new front end. In fact, if it was colour-coded or even better, chrome plated, it would be the ducks guts.

on a side topic of that picture, what does the bar across the bottom of the windscreen protect...?
