Have my eye on the Altitude for offroad/touring purposes, however I suspect the hot V, BMW 3.0 TD, 3.0 ECOBOOT has it over the 2.8 TD mild hybrid. In stock, a very safe and comfortable daily driver capable of short distance touring with an ability to tackle some challenging offroad trails, grade dependent. Would be great to see a tow test, like the Hilux, I suspect it may be challenged.

Too many words per minute. Do a word count vs Mr Baker. Have a strong opinion on a few areas, don’t need an entire technical description of the car. People watching these videos generally aren’t looking to buy a car, they want insightful, relaxed content IMHO.

Sorry Toyota, you lost a long time prado owner, wanted to upgrade but that boot setup is ridiculous!!. Look at the other brands who all get it right, customers want a flat functional bootspace when all seats folded... Plus the Altitude I test drove showed 13.2 L per 100km. Thanks but no thanks, so many better options out there.

@scottchin35823 сағат бұрын
To be honest, this Prado is very disappointing. The fuel tank is tiny and it will never be as able as the old ones in the Outback! Secondly, the trunk is shockingly small and not usable! Thirdly, the price is ridiculous, for this equipment incuded.I would just lump to the Lands cruiser. It's a shame that with over 100 thousand dollars the interior is another disappointment as well. The truth is this generation is worse than the old one!

The crowds were up in arms when the 300 dropped with starting price of $100k for a GX, now every second comment is how affordable it is to jump from $77k to $104k (GX to GX) like its nothing....

It's hard to answer some of the questions at the end because whilst it starts at 80K, when it's optioned up to something that's actually premium equipped it's then suddenly north of $100K on the road. that's big $. . and that's just for the RWD which is quite slow for those sort of $ also.. To configure it as seen in this vid: DM with the nice wheels (really like those wheels) and the big brakes (i.e perf packagE) it's 120k+ .. I mean, wowsers You can't even talk about half the cars mentioned as 'competition' in the guise it's tested here.

Mazda have handled criticism with the cx60 and cx90 very well they have been fitted with all sorts of upgrades free of charge from dealers and they are great now. The naming scheme is abit dodgy but I think this car will punch above its weight and if your not a brand snob why not buy it over a merc glc, x3, x5 Audi q5? It’s got a I6! Mazda have spent the money where needed apart from the ass of the car it doesn’t look that great but it grows on you good car though well done Mazda

So this Prado has the very same 2.8L engine as in my 2020 Fortuner 150Nm, my GXL Fortuner has the sliding second row seats not in the new Prado, I don’t need AdBlue, I get rear differential lock lock that you only get in Altitude Prado, I have the manual tailgate that’s not going to wake up every camper in a campsite, and I can pop my third row seats in and out in 20 minutes that the Altitude doesn’t get. All that for almost half the price?! How’s this Prado a good deal? I can’t fathom. People either have lots of cash or they are fools and buy into looks. A 6 cylinder Everest is a better deal.
