Facelift for 150 series prado

[muzungu]

I've just ordered a GX, getting ARB sahara bar, OME suspension and snorkel. Not sure on the eta for the ARB bar, but wait and see. Will post pics when it turns up.

Can someone post a pic of a new arb or other bar when they start to show up. The decision to go to a Lux is becoming easier every day.

I think its a case of the look "growing on you" over time. I remember when I first saw the 120 series (a year before I bought mine) I thought it looked absolutely repulsive (both front and rear).

I think you'll find all the major players are still working on the new front bars, won't see any for a while.

Had a HR on my GX work Prado never any problems it didn't hang down as it sat behind the rear bumper and bolts on the rear cross member much better clearance and from memory the price was better.
But looks like that part # R2640 has been discontinued.. so it may not fit on the VX after having another look.

So what does the cat think (last photo)?

Cat is lucky to be alive. It changed its mind about sitting on the bonnet

I've had a 150 Kakadu for nearly 4 years now and was talking to my dealer about the towbars for my new facelifted Prado on order. I feel the genuine towbars hang too low compared with the 120 i had prior to my current Prado. He said that they are starting to fit more of the Hayman Reece towbars as they dont hang as low and are less in your face from the back. Has anyone fitted a new Hayman Reece and what's your thoughts?

75-76K drive-away depending on state stamp duty etc. Sci fleet brisbane with Fleet was $75000 but I went local and it was a little more but it was easy with a the trade. Drive in throw the keys for the old beast and drove away with the new rig. Only took a week from deciding to driving. Seems to be lot's of stock especially of the VX . It's a very good spec level. The led low beams are brilliant and the Audio / phone/Nav unit is full of usefull features

Hi guys,

I am looking to buy a new facelift model Prado VX in Perth.

What price can I expect to pay after negotiations with the dealership?

No accessories, just the stock VX......I am trying to get a feel of where I should end up and how hard I should push them.

Any help you can give would be great, thanks guys hopefully I will be 4wd ing with you soon......

Saw the new model sitting next to the old one at the 4WD show.

Not sure that I would call it a facelift, more like a face drop. On a positive the new bull bar looks a lot better, just not on the car.

Good to see that they've replaced the grey plastic interior trim that scratched so easily, particularly on the gear knob. I prefer the overall look of the darker trim.

Not sure what the app button on the stereo does and the voice call button has disappeared from the steering wheel.

I'd be grabbing a run out old model based on what I saw.

Picked the new girl up today. drove about 20k then gave it to my wife. She's very happy … does anyone know if you can get the side mirrors to retract when locking the vehicle . My Lexus does it it an easy way to see if it's locked.

that's smart thinking!
