Hello,
I paid a deposit today for a white 2014 GXL Prado TD Auto with an expected delivery date of early January. Happy with the deal I received given I didn't/couldn't wait to the new year for further discounts/offers. $60k drive away with floor mats, window tint and full tanks. I didn't want anything else as I will be getting aftermarket accessories straight away.

I'm with you Ben, come from a old diesel, or anything made by Nissan, and these things are as quiet as a mouse. In fact, the Prado has less in cabin noise at 110Km with the D697s fitted than our old 2010 levin zr Corolla with Khumo KU31s. I have had no drone, no vibrations, nothing to complain about except an annoying rattle in the door which turned out to be a clip not all the way home.[LEFT]Silver 150 Facelift

All they can do is change the tune of the intake, usually by baffling the inner guard to change the volume, thus the resonate freq. There is a thread on here about it in the older models bu placing sound matting in the guard, works a charm. Either that or put a snorkel on (if you plan to) and it will be gone anyway.
Otherwise, as the mechanics of the whole car bed in over a few thousand kms it will disappear as the resonate freq. changes slightly. Its not a wide spread problem.[CENTER][B]-=2014 GXL D4D Auto Graphite, Firestone Airbags, ARB/Optima D34 Dual Battery, ARB UVP, TJM Airtech Snorkel[/B][B]=-[/B]

Mine was really bad when new and I did the guard matting which I described in the thread. But first step is checking the airbox isn't touching the guard,Toyota had a mod for this but should be fixed from the factory these days.[B]Steve[/B]

Greetings all. This is my first post on Pradopoint. This appears to be the appropriate place to discuss Prado prices. I am about to purchase a GX auto diesel. Has anyone purchased a Prado VERY recently and taken advantage of the Japanese free trade agreement price drop of $4000? If so, what did you pay? The previous benchmark for a GX seemed to be about $54,000 drive away with no extras. I'm hoping I can beat this now.
