Your transmission will be happiest in 6 th gear while towing. The extra air flow will keep things cooler. Fuel consumption will be a bit more but what the heck. You have 3 tonne on the hitch.

Im currently in Sydney due to fly back to Perth and i happend to see a black on of these and the more i look at them the more ugly i find them

Put the window down slightly and shut the door. Bet you won’t love it 😂

Nothing good about it. Would have been better off buying an Everest.

Is this the car that Esperance Toyota stole away from that old couple?

Last time I got bogged and the car was sitting on the fuel tank I was driving a Toyota Celica up a dirt track after spending a night in tent. It rained very heavily during the night and the dirt track became soft. Anyway lying in the mud digging under the car with stick was not much fun. It took me about 4 hours to get enough dirt out from under the car to get the wheels back on the road. lol

Quite possibly at GVM with van loaded?

If you can provide a link to the Toyota Statement as mentioned at 18:41 that would be great. Because it is nowhere online after an advanced AI search. Thanks heaps.

Just curious as to why you didnt air down on any of the sand ?? Makes the car work so much harder when you are running road pressures in them. It makes a massive difference when aired down for the tyres to float more over the sand and not work the prado so hard

Congrats guys we can’t wait for our 250 to arrive!

Where can we find the statement about warranty with the rear seats ?

should have kept the ranger

You must have pre-ordered this car and its come into stock, its only been released 3 day ago and why did you get the 7 seater option?

I bought the new 7 seat GXL model & it's FLY!!! It has that new & modern squared off look & at the same time is very aesthetic. It has a good sized infotainment system and the audio system is fantastic. It has enough modern tech to satisfy the majority of people. IMO, the price point is fantastic (86k) & I jumped on it immediately because of the price & whatbyou are getting. Toyota Prado is an iconic car brand in Australia & this new version is up with the times, and it still delivers on it's famous off road capabilities. This Prado is COOL. I am over the moon with my purchase. I will say I'm not keen on the new Kakado version, because it looks like the old Prado. But that's just my opinion.

Hope your travels are treating you well. Was curious if you are able to charge the van from the Prado while underway and if it took much pfaffing?

Hey, don't use the lane assist feature while you're towing anything. The dealer should've told you that before you started towing, and you can also find that info in your manual or online.

Esperance has some beautiful beaches for sure. loved Warton beach. i'm not a fan of the hitch Jake, it's heavy and puts the ball further from back axle which puts more leverage out the back. anyhow have happy travels.

The new Prado is an absolute grift.

It’s giving me anxiety you not having car seat covers !!

In coil aiir bags are the go. We run them on the 200. They are good as you can adjust them for load/ ball weight differences, although a 2" lift all round and a GVM upgrade would be a good thing. Another thing, do you have to tow in tow mode or can you tow in normal mode, that may let gears 7/8 engage.

Pretty impressed with the new prado and more specifcally with its GCM, i like it.

Mac and TJ

Gorgeous looking car! All the best guys. Planning to order the same class sometime next year. Thanks for sharing 👌🏻

Love hearing your thoughts , can’t wait for the mods….definitely lookin the goods. Look how comfy Hazel looks 😀 she’s lovin it.

What a limpy jake is. Imagine saying "in ya face" to your audience about the boot warranty issue when it's the sales team telling everyone it's a warranty void. Clearly the statement release is a back pedal by Toyota Australia. 18:38

Low rpm is not efficient at low rpm with high load factor

OMG @lilandjake how awesome and professional are your followers You've got financial advisors, mechanical engineers, 4WD experts, tyre technicians, lawyers, Magistrates and quite possibly Albo might be commenting too under an alias!!!! The comments are absolutely absurd given 95% of these people wouldnt have even seen the car or read the Toyota specs yet. I say, if they dont like the new car youve bought, dont want to see what mods you're doing, not intetested in the contrnt you n Lil create and so fixated on your finances/new car etc etc, its easier for them to just unsubscribe and stop following you guys. Its not easy creating content, especially doing it weekly and making it enjoyable to watch, so please dont be turned off by all these negative, ignorant, unappreciative haters. There are followers who do love, enjoy and appreciate what you do each week and couldnt give a rats what car you purchase or how you finance yourselves. Just the same as how i finance myself living full-time in a van also. Its between my accountant, the ATO and me 😊

The boxes in the back of your car fit the style of the back of the new Prado 250 😂

Tyres down to 18 psi, centre diff lock on, hold tc for 7 seconds in sand, it will go everywhere. Tc is amazing in rocky conditions, always leave it on in those conditions. Enjoy.

Jake when you get rid of those hwy tyres and drop some real ones on, your rpm will come down anyway. Unless you're like me and stay with the same speed reading haha

Congratulations again Lil and Jake……. I can’t wait to watch as you add options/extras to the Prado…….🍻

V6 Everest Sport or Tremor is a way better unit. Ya missed out.

Put a bogged hat on it

So many squeaky wheels in the comments. Epic car, we are impatiently waiting for ours to arrive. Have really enjoyed watching you guys, especially keen to see how you go with towing as ours will have the same job. Don’t let the keyboard warriors from the dark corners of the internet dim your light. ❤

Flip the hitch upside down and you’ll be good to go, no?

Luv hazel. Look after her. Please don't put a bogged logo on her.

$90k down, and here comes the touring equipment $$$... Bar work, suspension, winch, lights, protection film, UHF radio....

Is it a real LC? No, everything is smaller guage, thinner, lighter, nothing fits the 300 even if you think it looks like it does. 100% light duty wagon trading on a brand name.

What is the width of the trailer?

Terrible caps.

With a full tank, 150kg of people, max 350kg on the tow ball and you have maybe 20kg spare on GVM? It’s a relatively heavy car so it should anchor the van okay. The GCM looks like it can handle plenty of cargo if it is in the van. If the rear hatch can still open can you invert that tow hitch to get the tow pin higher?

Hi Lil and Jake loving your videos and content. I also love my old Prado as well so I get where you’re coming from. I can see you will get it all sorted, in time, as you do with any new vehicle. I’m really looking forward following the journey with you.

Really happy with your content. Cool to watch you use the 250 and give honest unfiltered feedback. Be awesome to see what modifications you do.

Ordinary people thinking they’re super star just because they are on KZbin.. Not watching KZbin crap no more !!!! Anyone can do this crap !!👎🏽 this fella swings . Broke back mountain

Hi Jake and Lil. Will a weight distribution hitch push the front down and level the car. Cheers enjoy your new 250, a bit jelous..

Drive your own car , man up !!!

Looking good guys! Enjoy the new wheels

Awesome video Lily and Jake really enjoyed it. Yes you definitely find what you need to be done to your car as soon as you drive it and start towing with it is well. Always looking forward to seeing you both on Saturday next episode

Jake, when on sand you should turn traction control off?😊

I came to enjoy this couple’s video and then found these stupid and negative comments again. Many people aren’t happy indeed. These people are living their dream and I wish I had same. Also I want that new prado regardless of the price. What matters is memories and experience. Guys, enjoy don’t listen to haters.
