The sales guy also told her that she couldnt remove the 3rd row seats, so again I am assuming that he had no idea what he was talking about...
One last question - has anyone seen or purchased the RED - Wildfire colour. I was wondering what it looked like in person - not just in a picture.
Thanks

We got our Crystal Pearl GXL a couple of weeks ago for $66,800 - Leather pack, Tint, Front sensors and Tow-bar. Pretty happy with the deal from Sci-Fleet Taringa, Brisbane. Think I'll add the ARB Summit bull bar. Loving this car!Last edited by Fastwolf; 07-06-2018, 10:53 AM.

I definitely wouldn't buy another 2018 Prado until they sort out the DPF problems.Last edited by Yellowdog; 23-06-2018, 11:54 AM.

It became a tour of Toyota dealers rather than a fun trip. Just wish I'd kept my 2015 3.0 GXL rather than updated. Also, regarding your comment about diesels being more and more complicated these days, I had a Pajero before my 2015 GXL. This broke down in Kalgoorlie with one cylinder being flooded with diesel fuel. The Mitsubishi dealer worked on it for 2 weeks without being able to get it to run on 4 cylinders.
I definitely wouldn't buy another 2018 Prado until they sort out the DPF problems.

I have driven for a thousand or so kms with this message, each time to get to the next dealer who does a manual burn. The helpful dealer at Mt Isa also did a 5th injector clean, and it has been better since then. However I want to go over the Gary Junction road again on the way to Broome and I just don't trust the car not to break down.
