NEW PRADO coming? Next year? 2015?

[wanted Member Find all posts View Profile Close wanted]

Again, 2015 will be the year of the new Hilux, 2016 is Prado's.

Don't be surprised to see a hybrid version of the prado and landcruiser either....

Any further mid/end of life upgrades for 150 before they hit the run out stage?

I heard on the grapevine that the new diesel will have a smaller turbo and be more fuel efficient in the new hilux and the prado the year after.

Any idea where that engine is coming from? Not another start to the D4D life cycle.

Just read a FB post from Berrima Diesel with many customer still complaining about the injector issues. Is that a thing of the past or do the current models also have the same issue? I did read here on PP that it had been fixed or people hope that it had been fixed. Are there any indicators to say it has been fixed or is still an ongoing issue?

I see many happy owners and some people with bad stories. What is the differentiator between those?

Cheers

Injectors are, and always have been, a wear and tear component, or a consumable. They always have needed to be replaced when they are worn. The problem with the modern Toyota diesels is when they are worn they over fuel to the point they can damage engine internals. Many people also feel the life span of these injectors is too short, and they should last longer than they do. The problem is compounded by dealers not doing the appropriate checks when servicing and not making the customer aware of the "issue".

There was an earlier issue where the injector seats (or "sheets") allowed combustion gases into the oil ways, this caused carbon build up in the oil system, eventually blocking the oil pick up and causing oil starvation. This issue has been solved with new revised injector seats, although it was not done through any recall or customer satisfaction program, but was done at the customers expense when either the valve clearances were checked, the carbon deposits were noted, or the engine suffered oil starvation. Most 150's will have the new style seats, you would have to be very unlucky to get one of the early ones with the old seats.

I would say no as its only another 18 months away for a new model, give or take

I thought there was a special edition just before the 120 went to run out stage

The 120 major update was in 2006 so about 3 years before replacement. If the timing above is correct then the facelift will be the last major change in a 6 year life cycle.

Info received yesterday from a Toyota dealer indicates there is no new model planned to be released in 2015 because the facelift model is less than a year old. From another Toyota dealer, he states pricing restructures will see the 2015 built Prados increase by approx $3000.

3k rise with increasing sales pressure! Although some other companies have had small price increases that they have offset by special offers for year end. Not sure how long it will last?

Possibly a 2.5 litre engine too. Too small imo.

End of 2016

My guess:

New Landcruiser will be released end of 2015
New Prado will be released end of 2016

New Landcruiser will be released end of 2015

I thought we would be getting the new Hilux and Fortuner this year.
Howong has it been since the last Cruiser update?
I reckon the Prado won't get done again till 2017
