Hi there all,
We have just returned after towing about 500klm from south east melb up to eildon via the yarra ranges and I must say for the first prado being owned my impressions are great.
After owning a patrol prior, the 150 has significantly more grunt and torque up some good hills and found that when sitting on 80klm sports 4th was better than just in drive as it seem to hunt a bit between the gears but this was not an issue.
Handling with a 2 tonne trakmaster was impressive, a WDH was used and the ride was impecable, not sure what will occur after the suspension goes in.
After the comments surrounding the box overheating, this was not experienced and some hills were did push to see the performance.
Overall a very big smile
regards
