Facelift for 150 series prado

[Hutch]

Good god and people thought the new 150 is ugly this thing would make u throw up your breakfast every morning if u had to drive that to work.

Hutch- Prado 150 with some TJM Kit.

Google "new pajero". It would be interesting in 2015 when new Paj comes out with new tech n electric drive in conjunction with new v6 - because the prado will still be 2 yrs away from the next "from the ground up" model

Arb got delivery of Prado yesterday so hopefully not to long before a bulbar comes out . We just ordered a gxl 2014 build as prefer to wait for resale.

Yeah I am thinking of waiting for a 2014 plate too.......but I want it now!!!

I can already see aftermarket mods for headlights in the near future

Having seen it in real life, the bar seems to sit quite a bit lower than the previous model. I wonder if it will stuff up the entry angle for after market bars.

Also agree the droopy running lights are naff. If you really need them, which is debatable on a 4WD, I can't see why they couldn't be under the lights to save on the droopy bit and the biggest joke is that they are fake on the GX and GXL.I don't think it will grow on me, although I know that's what people said about the original 150.

Time to throw out the old furniture Toyota! I'll personally bring a trailer if u needs, ..oh but it won't be towed by a Prado, not enough capacity.

Well that's rubbish by Toyota, they increase the light size by that much to hold one small globe. Would've made more sense to have the led's across the whole range.

An Led strip across the headlight cluster would have been better use of space, n better design too. Drooping the headlights just to have LEDs, then a stupid globe for the GX n GXL, is dumb. Just looking at their designs, seems like Toyos affluencial engineers are making design decisions. Engineers are not designers. Look at the infrastructure bridges etc bet qld n nsw at the border. Big diff bet the bridges in nsw n qld,...because the bridges in nsw are designed by architects, n in qld the ugly concrete structures are designed by main roads engineers who are part of the furniture.

Only the VX and Kakadu get the LED DRL

I have just picked up a GXL this week and yes no LEDs they are halogen bulbs with a single bulb in the corner for parking lights.
What Im confused about is the daytime running lights, the book says on Halogen lights the daytime running lights are the low beam headlight with a reduced intencity but as far as I can tell in day and night its the same, so as soon as you start the engine the headlights come on, even the symbol on the dash lights up, cant see anyway of them being turned off.
