I am aware that over 80% of all Prado sales are diesel. I drove 2.8 diesel Prado and found it quite nicely behaving vehicle. Except for overtaking on the highway at higher speeds. You press the pedal to the floor and... except for the sound nothing happens. Very sluggish acceleration, and I suspect when fully loaded and slightly uphill overtaking can be a dodgy issue. I tried switching the gear box to manual and downshifting, but the effect was more or less the same.
I am gravitating towards 200 kW petrol Prado and want to ask people who have them about their opinions. What is real life petrol consumption? Obviously, petrol engine has less torque. Does it affect offroad driving? Is the petrol consumption offroad goes through the roof?
The reason I am asking all this is that I am still hesitating between petrol Prado and diesel Landcruiser 200. They are more or less similar in specs (except for torque, of course), and for the same price Prado has more toys. I would appreciate a lot if you guys could share your opinion on this.
