[Richie Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close Richie]

Just signed up this morning for a GX Auto Silver pearl with towbar and cargo barrier. $56, 900 drive-away. 3 wk wait.

Thanks for your update.That's good price,I wish I could get that price here in Perth . I'm looking to trade in my 2010 GXL around Christmas. Enjoy your car.

Hopefully your choice will be the Prado, then it means you've vindicated my position!
And here you were pulling the PI55 out of me buying a new car and flying to little ol Bali... ��

Not going to be an easy choice Dave.
Check out the Fortuner reviews I posted here.

I best not tell you about my trip to the US.
It might make you cry.

$63.5k for a white 2.8 diesel auto GXL.
Happy with that and very happy with the service I received from City Toyota.
They were very generous with their time and courteous with their follow ups.
No connection, just sayin'
Still undecided about splashing out on a silver one.
I would have signed the deal today but as I'm flying out tonight I just didn't get to it.

Any opinions silver v white?
In particular how does each colour scrub up after a weekend in the bush?

I went with White, but that was more to do with the wife's decisions. I think Silver and White tend to look "cleaner" for longer when dirty. Both don't show water marks after washing, and also don't require polishing to maintain their sheen as the glossy clear coat isn't as obvious as say black, navy etc. I'lol add a pic if I can figure out how too on my phone. Having said all that Graphite is my fav, but the missus didn't want another grey Prado as "it will be just like the old one"....

Sooo many white ones are for sale all the time. Any other colour is rarer and prob better resale. Just something to think of.

We had a silver Ford Focus, it was great as never showed up dirt. When it actually looked dirty, you knew it was REALLLLLLLY dirty!

I reckon silver and white are the best choices to not show the pinstripes you will get if you are using the 4by for what it's designed for . Cleaning the car is a chore for me, I'd rather be driving it

What do people think of the liquid bronze colour? Tossing up between crystal pearl or the bronze colour. Currently have the crystal pearl and granted its hard to tell when dirty but thought maybe something different would be better.

Bronze looks OK but in GXL guise you're stuck with a beige interior. And that's just wrong.

I chose white because it is cheaper, safer, cooler and easier to touch up.

White if you are worry about bush scrubs.
when clear coat gets scratched it turns white.
so on white car its rarely shown.
however downside is that being white it does get dirty easier.
I would choose white over silver for 4wding, cheaper, cooler and easier to touch up. as Stoo mentioned

Hey pradodave what % are your tints in that pic, I'm about to take my 2.8 in to get done and am looking for the darkest i can get legally.

[Prado_Dave Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Prado_Dave]

I'm passed legal. They matched the front to the privacy glass. It's the next one after legal limit but before limo.

[shodown Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close shodown]

30% is the legal limit, below that is illegal. I have 16% from TKO Tint. They do 30, 22, 16 off memory (and lower of course). That LOOKS darker than mine.... but mine is a 2010 GX, so it might be the privacy glass changes....
