2024 Toyota Prado review: Kakadu | 4WD test for LandCruiser 150 Series before new LC250 arrives!

[@Car-crazy]

The prado does not have front lockers, that is incorrect. They have centre and rear diff locks no frontm regardless if the model or country. I have a prado, bought brand new last year so I know for sure

[@GEE819]

Toyota = brilliance 👍

[@Shambles7698]

I still love this Prado 👌

[@jasonwishart6800]

Gxl is the best spec for touring and off-road use.

[@tempestv8]

Shame the 550 Nm Hilux GR-S motor didn't eventuate in the Prado 150 Series as a swansong edition. @ 5:49 mark, this Prado has front diff lock? Surely this is incorrect information as there is no mention of a front diff lock in the specifications! Very hard to get decent 19" offroad tyres. Would be better to get the 18" wheels when shopping for LT spec all terrains.

[@oriondoublecrossed]

Get a micky thompson class 3 wheels and then add big fat 275/70/17 all terrain and you will have a luxury sedan like ride quality along with extreme off-road capabilities. Not to mention increased ground clearance as well.

[@ilbianconero10]

Can this tyre size fit with stock suspension ? Thank you

[@torizaemon]

*front *centre and *rear diff-locks. Ummm just *centre and *rear, i believe. Not front. (would be nice though)

[@jcurbin305]

I wondered about that...

[@oggyoggy1299]

I got the Kakadu for $88k d/away, delivered 6 weeks ago. Average economy of 9.0 litres after 4,000km of driving. I rejected them for years, but I can see why they are so popular. It’s brilliant. The centre fridge is awesome!!

[@tempestv8]

Wow, how did you manage that? Got a contact?

[@oggyoggy1299]

I think it was MotorScout, on the web. Complete a quick online form (no obligation to do anything) and they go out seeking bids from dealers. In 24 hrs I had received 3 bids (you log on and see the bids coming in) and I signed the contract with the cheapest. I don’t think it cost anything. I think the winning dealer flicks them a few hundred dollars. I change cars every few years but have never used one of these “brokers” before. I’d try it again for sure.

[@tonyt50]

And itll be worth $70k in a few months. Why not wait for the new model?

[@tempestv8]

If used prices of old 100 Series compared to new 200 Series is used as a reference, the older model became more valuable in the first few years of the new model. Who is to say this isn't going to happen during the first couple of years with the 150 & 250?

[@tonyt50]

@@tempestv8 Because the current Prado's are already so far behind the rest of the market (SUVs) and the new Prado brings many upgrades that are on par with the rest of the market, thus the current Prado falls further behind.

[@brianclarke1695]

Why do jurnos only review top spec vehicles rather than more sensible, for off road use, GX or GXL models, my GXL does 9.5L/100km, 1400km range, i agree the are a bit dated, but are super reliable and they can be repaired, if required, just about anywhere

[@bliN.K_ray]

Is that combined? Or just highway?

Concerned woth its handling around corners

[@marcusjac]

There is no need to be concerned about that, I've toured along norwegian fjords, the alps, british b-roads and most of europe at a good paste - there is no need to be concerned.

TOYOTA LANDCRUISER ❤️👍 THE BEST OFFROAD EVER

[@keynesianeconomics4113]

Looking for a new chariot - shopping in the $100k luxo SUV market but I think this might tick the boxes given its off road durability. Probably won't off road much other than the missus going over kerbs at the local Woolies but I like the idea of a comfortable luxury wagon that can traverse geopolitical warzones if it needs to.

[@oriondoublecrossed]

Buy this with the beige interior and spare wheel at the back. 150l fuel capacity. Add good tires and accessories and you will have a tank on road. One of the best looking suvs.😊😊

[@samartz]

Too slow so i bought a Fortuner instead

[@tempestv8]

Fortuner is definitely much faster than the Prado due to improved power to weight ratio.

[@oggyoggy1299]

The Fortuna is hideous so I bought a Prado.

[@tempestv8]

I didn't like the frontal design of the Fortuner when it was first released but I do quite like the redesigned front end in the current iteration.

Great bus can’t wait to sell it at a profit & buy a yank tank!
