  • Toyota's long standing Land Cruiser Prado 4x4 has finally been updated for 2018 with a new look and a fresh set of offroad toys. Is it enough to make the Prado hot again?

    This car is amazing. We have it here in Europe as well, but it’s only available with a 2.8 liter Diesel engine with 177hp and 450nm. It’s offered with a 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic transmission. If you want the petrol engines, you go to mother Russia, they have both 2.7, 4.0 petrols and the 2.8 diesel.
    Personally, I go to Gibraltar and buy 95 horsepower communist-spec non-turbo diesel that has top speed of 120 and accelerates 0 to 100kph in 19 seconds. Long Live Lenin.

    Hi I have a 2013 V6 Prado.
    I have done 2 inch suspension lift.
    I have 2 questions
    Firstly should central difflock be engaged in desert drives and at what speed I can drive in desert with central difflock engaged?
    Secondly, I have stock tires 265/65r17.
    I want to upgrade to all terrain tires.
    Should I stick with 265/65 or go for 265/70?
    I have heard increasing tire size effects the pick up power and speedometer and odometer.
    Pls advise Sir

  • @neelpatira4453
    @neelpatira4453 5 років тому

    Is it worth spending that kind of money and going for the 4.0L engine option or 2.7L is adequate? I saw the figures on the brochure and to put things into perspective, 164 hp and 250 Nm of Torque is nothing to manoeuvre a seven seater heavy brute like the Prado. However, I am waiting for your opinion and take on that car to know if it drives smoothly and feels refined and well poised even at higher speeds.
    BTW, what were those rattling sounds in your car ?

    • @MotoringMiddleEast
      @MotoringMiddleEast  5 років тому +3

      the 2.7-litre engine is in no way adequate - buy the 4.0 or don't buy a Prado. I can say this because I owned a 2.7 Prado, and it was awful!

    • @neelpatira4453
      @neelpatira4453 5 років тому +1

      MotoringMiddleEast Thanks for the prompt answer. Can you describe more of the difficulties you faced during the ownership of the 2.7 ? I would also like to know how much exactly is the difference in mileage between the two engine options and is it advisable to go for one in the used car market ? Also, which other models can prove to be formidable alternatives to the Prado ?

    • @MotoringMiddleEast
      @MotoringMiddleEast  5 років тому +2

      It's worse on gas than the 4.0, has frankly appalling power delivery, and is just terrible to drive. It only (sorta) works in light cars like the Fortuner, but is overwhelmed by the heavier Prado. Don't buy one! I can't be more clear.
      For alternatives - try the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot or Mazda CX-9. The Sante Fe/Sorento make good alternatives as well.

    • @kangvp9512
      @kangvp9512 5 років тому +3

      MotoringMiddleEast fake SUVs can’t replace the Prado. Crossovers are for mothers and large families. It doesn’t really have alternatives. Maybe the Jeep Wrangler, but that is too unreliable for Middle East drives.
      I like your opinion on the 2.7 Prado, my father had one and it was very sluggish. Thankfully he switched to a 4.0 after one year, it was much better.

    • @MotoringMiddleEast
      @MotoringMiddleEast  3 роки тому +3

      I'll NEVER review a 2.7 - it's really the worst engine Toyota makes, awful power, and the fuel consumption is no better and in some cases actually worse than the 4.0 V6.
      I'm this upset because I used to own one back in the early '00s and it legit scarred me for life LOL

    • @mohammedasim374

    If you're going to just "keep skipping and moving on because it looks like a Land Cruiser" why bother doing the review in the first place? You need to be more objective and speak less about what you feel.

    • @MotoringMiddleEast
      @MotoringMiddleEast  6 років тому +1

      Speak less what about we feel? That's the definition of subjectivity, the basis of any good review.
