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.

My original Prado did the same, the rear went down a lot. Did go with a 2" HD coil lift, was overall happy with it, but should have just gone with airbags in the rear, more versatile, more adjustment to get ride level perfect. This is one of the reasons I love my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, hook up my van start the car and presto perfectly level every time, full air suspension, love it.

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

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.

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?

Don’t believe it! Warranty is NOT a dealership managed product but is a manufacturer inclusion to the selling price of the vehicle and the dealership is simply an agent and acts as such. Toyota is voiding warranties for ANY modifications done to the vehicle, if they believe it MAY (?) have an effect on the car systems, electronics, engine or driveline! ALL manufacturers are tightening warranty compliance and trying to reduce costs in the warranty coverage as this is either an internally funded or external insurance cost of manufacturing. All these costs are on the rise , so be aware of the reality, of the manufacturer’s cost reduction attempts. Modify to suit your needs, but Mr Toyota, Nissan or Wombat motors will take you for a ride if they can!

Check out the tear down video comparing drive train and suspension parts on 300 v 250. Every component in the 300 is sturdier and more robust. Including the diff. 3 tons behind that? I know which one I’d rather use as a tow vehicle. These guys broke their last vehicle and I think they’ll break this too. But as KZbinrs that’s probably okay. And I reckon one reason they bought the Prado is to maximise interest in the channel. Fair enough.

I see Tough Dog Suspension have already clocked up 1,000kms testing and have now just swapped out the factory suspension to raise the car & beef up the rear suspension with their own product & are now out bush doing R&D to test and dial it all in for the best combo package before they launch the product (noting the factory rear coils were regularly hitting the bump stops) Next it needs 17inch rims with decent tyre wall height as a must do mod and the best looking rim for that is the ROH Assault in machined finish "Stunning Rim" (17 x 8" or 9" pref if they fit )

There is a bit of negativity on the new Prado but if you haven’t seen it in person or driven it, this 4x4 is fantastic! Yes the 7 seats is a let down but if you don’t need the 7 seat set up go the GX or Altitude 5 seat. I’ve driven the Altitude and we’re ordered one, the built quality and materials used will last a very long time. Coming from the 150 the new 250 is a step up in IMO, anyway love your channel guys and we enjoy watching you 😊👍

Hi Lil, Hi Jake, Congratulations on the new Prado - comments on this video - first, do yourself a favour and get yourself a stone stomper ASAP - for the sake of your rear window. On the RPM at 90 kmh - the Prado is a four cylinder and has much less torque than the ranger hence why it wants to rev higher - you could try towing without using tow mode and see if it uses 7 or 8th when obviously the revs will drop and fuel consumption will improve, providing the engine can pull the weight in those gears

Not a fan of that spare tyre under the rear re clearance & the pain in the butt experience of swapping out a flat when out bush. That adjustable tow hitch needs an angle grinder as those lower end notches would never come in use. Two glaring facts - needs a 2inch lift+ heavier rated rear springs+ 17inch rims with decent tyre wall height. Perhaps a rear mount swing out spare tyre & swap in an extra fuel tank underneath would be logical unless these new Prado's are just being purchased as a general use runabout. I still can't understand why the twin turbo V6 was not an option as it is a no brainer in any mans language (Ford Everest damn got it right)

9:08 “That was particularly bad timing”😳 “ I hope he sees there’s another one coming”! 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ You’re supposed to be spotting him to warn of oncoming traffic that “you” can see approaching and he can’t.. seriously, What The Actual F@&k!! 😳🤯 Safety first.. if not your own, then the other people around you.

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

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 😊

Not sure why anyone would buy a prado for $87k when you can get a 300 for a extra $10k if there using it to tow and tour oz doesn't really make much sense 🤷‍♂️

Hey, legend! 10g is a lot of money to spend on a gvm upgrade, wheels and tyres. Also the tech is insanely better in the Prado compared to 300. The 300 is also coming out with a facelift next year so would be buying an old product, and Toyota also assured me it will be coming with a significant price increase.
