Toyota Prado 120 2008 Manual. 62,235km.
https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...SE-AD-5365974/
Bought new in 2008 from Kittle Toyota at Para Hills West SA for outback trips. Ordered with the manual transmission and the side airbags. Tow bar. Installed the Mickey Thompson ATZ from new and they have been strong and reliable. Replaced the ATZ with the ATZP3
We have a 79 series on order will be here around in a month, so the Prado is on sale.
The Prado has been an excellent outback vehicle. Reliable and strong, capable of travelling on the highway to get to the outback dirt areas we have spent most of our time on the trips: Flinders Ranges, Ooodnadatta, Lake Eyre, Birdsville Track, Strzelecki Track, Alice Springs, Darwin, Gibb River track, Broome, Tanami Track, Finke Gorge, Ayers/Yulara, Olgas/Kata Tjuta, Snow skiing at Falls Creek. Many other places.
Always camping in tents and swags, have not ever taken camping trailers or caravans with the Prado in the outback.
Improvements to the Prado over time:
Suspension: Upgraded last year to Ironman Foamcell Pro with specific valving for the Prado by Whitey, and the correct springs for outback trips. The front lower arms suspension on the Prado has a 2.1:1 ratio of the shock absorbers location and needs specific valving to keep it under best control. The Ironman suspension has been excellent. Along with the shocks and springs, we added Superior Engineering spacers for the front roll bar, and extension rods for the rear roll bar. Added airbags for the rear springs if weight is above expected.
