Re: What DON'T you like about your Prado?
The interior lights go off too quickly when you turn off the ignition. By the time I get the log book out and start on an entry the lights fade out. They need to be on about twice as long as they are.
Ground clearance needs some help will just have to spend on tyres and suspension.
Cornering is crap again perhaps spending money on suspension may help?2009 120 GXL D4D, TJM Bull Bar, Winch, Safari Snorkel, ARB Lift, ARB Lockers, Black Widow DrawersComment

You can turn the front Map lights on manually... press on the lens.The interior lights go off too quickly when you turn off the ignition. By the time I get the log book out and start on an entry the lights fade out.

Re: What DON'T you like about your Prado?
Hi, love driving the Prado - mine is the 6 speed manual turbo diesel. I would like to request that the cruise control was a button on the steering wheel instead of an arm, As standard. If not put the arm on the steering column & not on steering wheel..Comment

Re: What DON'T you like about your Prado?
Only things that bug me are:
- When in LL the car doesn't crawl slowly enough, granted its an auto petrol but still, should go slower
- Lack of serious aftermarket gear, talking like 4" + lifts, body lifts etc
Otherwise, love it!<Rob> '12 Prado GX - https://www.pradopoint.com.au/forum/general/my-rig-build-up/32702-i-m-back-with-a-2012-150-gx-toorak-tractorComment

Re: What DON'T you like about your Prado?
I must say, I don't like the big back door, I like the overseas Prados that have doors similar to an 80 series where the split and one folds up, one folds down. Especially in car parks, if you drive through and someone parks behind you, there isn't enough room to open the back door to load the groceries! :evil:
And I also don't like that the fuel gauge on the main tank only goes half way, before switching to the sub tank, bit deceiving!2004 GXL 3L Turbo Diesel..Comment

Re: What DON'T you like about your Prado?
Models with doors like that need to have the spare underneath, therefore can't have the sub-tank, so total fuel load 90 litres. It would solve your fuel guage problem though.Originally posted by kylie88
Not sure why Toyota never sold that variant in Australia - you could get both in NZ as far as I know.Cheers, WayneComment

Re: What DON'T you like about your Prado?
Mines a 05 GXL, I'd love it to have stereo controls on the steering wheel and I agree with the fuel gauge. Half way for the first tank and then it goes up and down like a yoyo for the 2nd tank. Seperate gauges and a manual swich would be nice.
