GVM upgrade would be nice too!

What I read in 4x4 Monthly the max towing will be up to 3300kg but this may be at a reduction in GVM. So total GCM may be much the same.
My prediction would be drivetrain upgrade with a couple of VX/Kakadu features drip fed down to the GXL like LED DRL and auto lights etc.Last edited by Symo; 10-05-2015, 08:00 AM.[CENTER][B]-=2014 GXL D4D Auto Graphite, Firestone Airbags, ARB/Optima D34 Dual Battery, ARB UVP, TJM Airtech Snorkel[/B][B]=-[/B]

Can't be called class leading with engine output like that but definitely a step in the right direction. The Pajero has had that output since 2010 and the current Grand Cherokee has fit/finish and engine output in a cost effective product that Toyota needs to match or become a second level playerOriginally posted by MacroP View PostComment

A jeep may perform well once, but not every day. To much reliability issue with motor over heating etc. I perfer a second rate reliable car then a car at the pointy end of its ability and suffer with failuresOriginally posted by JoshF View PostPrado MY14 150 Series Altitude - Rhino Pioneer rack with backbone system, Tint, Fuel Manager Pre-Filter Fuel/Water Separator, Mann Provent 200 oil catch can, Toyota 2.5T Tow Bar, Scangauge2, TJM T3 winch bar, Narva HID 225, Polyair Air bags, 2" lift (Bilstein & Kings), Uniden 7700 with GME AE4018BK3, 32" LED Light bar, 2mt Awning, 1100mm Treds with mount platesComment

I know three individuals who all bought jeeps, various models including wrangler and GC and within 6 months all three are speaking ill of the brand.Originally posted by evltoy View Post

150 Series August 2015 engine and gearbox update
This just came in: http://ninemsn.carsales.com.au/news/...n-august-51034
Looks like a new diesel engine for the Prado will remain as a 4-pot offering, and not a V6.
If Toyota continues along the same strategy of sharing a diesel power plant between the Hilux and the Prado, then this means the August 2015 Prado will feature a 4-cylinder 2.8 litre diesel motor (code name 1GD-FTV), along with a 6 speed auto.
More info on the 1GD-FTV: http://www.bangkokpost.com/auto/news...gines-revealed

Here's the specific paragraph mentioning the changes
Update, May 11: Sources have advised motoring.com.au that the Prado will ditch its current 3.0-litre turbo-diesel for the same 2.8-litre four-cylinder that’s slated for the next HiLux. Toyota will also drop the current five-speed automatic for a six-speed transmission in the Prado – also believed to be on offer in the next HiLux. Little else is known at this stage, other than the GXL gaining satellite navigation as standard, and the Kakadu scoring rear-cross traffic alert.Comment

That Bangkok post link has the torque of the 2.8 litre 1GD-FTV at 450Nm. Which is more than the 410Nm of the 1KD in the 150 series. So can't be all badOriginally posted by amts View Post[SIZE=2]120 GXL D4D Auto, with a 'List of Wants' greater than the 'List of Needs' greater than the 'List of Haves'

Sounds like its a drop in engine replacement to get a few more killer wasps and torques for less juice, and a trickle down of features from higher models. Nothing worth getting your knickers in a twist over, and a bit off the Grand Cherokee's donk @ 550NmOriginally posted by ko7624 View Post
"The Prado’s current 3.0-litre diesel produces 127kW and 410Nm, meaning the updated model would get a 5kW/10Nm boost in manual form and a bigger 5kW/40Nm increase with the new auto if the HiLux’s engine was dropped directly into its engine bay without any changes[SIZE=2]120 GXL D4D Auto, with a 'List of Wants' greater than the 'List of Needs' greater than the 'List of Haves'
