That was just wishful thinking. By me...

Engine sounds pretty good though but then so did the D4D. I have also heard the next production will have that motor so who knows it might even be true.

Hi Carlyle,

I am currently looking at the Altitude vs GXL. Do you mind me asking what price you picked up the Altitude for?

Hi Carlyle,

I am currently looking at the Altitude vs GXL. Do you mind me asking what price you picked up the Altitude for?

I pick up my new altitude tomorrow. My is a loose word more of the missus 7 seater kid carriage mobile. Never had a Toyota before but bought based on Toyota resale value as it is likely we will sell this in 3/4 years before embarking on a lap around Aust, so as we need to fit the 7 seat option and have good resale value this seemed to fit. Went the Altitude due to the extras over the GXL. If we were taking the prado on the lap I would have went GXL over altitude for tank capacity although I think you could get around it with rear bar and tanks but would cost more $. The leather, DVD player & sat nav appealed to us with young kids over the tank range, especially when we only travel about 10,000kms a year in the kid mobile.

What did you pay? Is there a price rise with the new motor?

[Desirable4Driving (D4D) Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Desirable4Driving (D4D)]

Updated Prado from June: new red colour will be added and dynamic blue cancelled, gxl to gain sat nav and extra speakers as standard. Does anyone know if there will be cosmetic changes as in a facelift?

They couldn't confirm price. That's how I found out the engine was being updated as I was pushing for a locked in price. Here's hoping it won't go up too much. Only other updates were changes to the colour range and something to do with sat Nav. Ie don't think there will be any cosmetic changes.

It's possible Toyota's new safety packages could be introduced later this year?? Similar to Subaru system with a front facing camera + radar, Pre-Collision System.
