Hi all,
thanks for any advice you can give.
I’ve a 2007 Prado GXL, 4l Petrol, 160k km, runs well, recently replaced a bearing in one of the wheels - first thing that went on it.
Bought a Jayco Expanda dual axle outback last year, 2.3t (never weighed) been on a few trips, longest is 2,000km. Went fine. Some forward backward bouncing but not a great deal. Using a Hayman Reece WDH - appears fine.
We are planning a longer trip from Sydney out to Alice, the Rock, etc, on sealed roads and I’m wondering whether taking a 14 year old car on that trip is too
much and I should just bite the bullet and get a new GXL. Few mates reckon the Ford Everest is the go because of the higher power rating but I am a massive fan of the Prado and am wondering how the new Diesel engine in the 2021 Prado handles the hills with a 2.5t caravan on the back. And of course wife and three teenagers adds to the weight!!
Another mate reckons get the Prado and get the GVM upgrade.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks very much.
