that would be a 120 series (2003-2009), the 180 series doesn't exist yet.

I see in your profile you are from Mindarie, is that Mindarie in the Malle (Mindarie-Halidon) or somewhere else?

Cheers Andrew

Mindarie , Perth right on the coast. Just bought the prado and I am only used to old manual landcruisers and have not yet gone off road. Any advice would be great.

We have a Mindarie about 80kms from me in the Mallee, only about a dozen people in that town though.

Heaps of info on this site, read heaps and you will learn heaps. You will love the Prado, make sure you get it dirty. Maybe keep an eye out in the trip report section for a day out with the Perth boys, they have a trip coming up very soon i think, Mundaring powerlines maybe? you might like to join them.

Cheers Andrew

Here's a YouTube vid of a 180 series apparently. It's a lousy vid and I have no idea if it is indeed a 180 series but I thought it might interest some.

With the problems that the V8 diesels have had in the 200 series and the 70 series and continue to have, its a no from me for a V8.

Damn. Sorry guys. I wonder why? Maybe it was a 180 and toyota didn't want people seeing it? It just looked like a 150 to me, although there was no spare mount on the back door, the body looked the same.

Cheers, Ben.

A better chassis would be good.....

Also noticed the 2014 150 Prado has had a facelift. Looks like no separate front bumper...a challenge for an aftermarket bullbar.

I managed to see it before it got deleted. Definitely a current 150 stuck in the snow. It wasn't very deep snow either. It's the overseas version with the spare under the floor. It's one of those videos not worth losing sleep over.
