OFF-ROAD TOW TESTING With Our LC250

[@darrenprior6339]

I can't believe a tiny 4cyl engine managed to tow all of that through all of that. After all the toxic hatred towards the new Prado I was beginning to doubt the purchase of my new Prado but after watching your truck handle that so well, I was impressed and relieved. Cheers

[@lilandjake]

Have never seen a vehicle get more hate from people who have never seen what one can do, to be honest, this thing blows my last car out of the water in the towing department, that had a bigger engine, smaller tyres, and more power on paper. You made a great decision

[@antonilavin2488]

Yeah, its impressive as a one off but how long is it going to last before a major breakdown treating it like that?

[@darrenprior6339]

@@antonilavin2488 That old 2.8 seems to have proven itself over a long period of time. Probably why Toyota chose to instal it rather something brand new.

[@brettmcdonald4138]

Absolutely just addicted to watching your travels and adventures. I really like just how honest and friendly you both are. Also I’m planning a trip around Australia with the Mrs and our little fur baby, so we are both getting so much valuable info from your travels. Love your work beautiful people! Also can’t forget Hazel 😝

[@dabossgriffin2289]

It was awesome seeing you guys today, car and caravan look amazing, excited to see the future vids

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome guys , the prado looks amazing and love it that it’s getting used properly. Thanks for the video 👍

[@rodneym5868]

Well I have to say this 250 is so far doing it’s job, well done guys 👏

[@Ralph1039]

Omg you guys have made my day - parked on the side of the road in the work car, coffee in hand and onto KZbin for my break and bingo - you’ve posted a vid - yay! The twinkle in Jake’s eyes with the anticipation on what’s to come is absolutely priceless - and the ‘wise man’ advice - love it! Well done guys - you both are brilliant! Sarah, NZ

[@RingoTravels]

Excellent video! Lil you are such a dag - love it!!

[@PeterLongworth-u8d]

Good Video again, interesting place. As a property owner myself I would appreciate a wayward traveler to stop say G'day & explain how & why they where there

[@allanpower8041]

The new tyres and wheels really set up the Prado guys, looks tough!

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Your tripple rule is about right. Always wear shoes out in the bush! It is easier to cross dunes early morning when the sand is cooler and a little more dense. You could also have dropped all the tyres to 15PSI without any issues. Thanks for the video.

[@coopadupa]

" this definitely a UFO hole " :D

[@dcooper7665]

Great video as always. Lil you're so funny hiding down in your seat. Looks like the new car is going to be perfect for your needs. Seems really capable. Hope you guys have a great New Year and thanks for the wonderful content throughout the entire year.

[@jasonsmith-cu1xg]

I like the way the Prada is looking, the stripes and wheels look really good.

[@lilandjake]

Thanks so much legend!

[@billmccarthy5920]

Looks like a well balanced set up, good car and van choices.

[@bitminerbob6731]

The Prado looks badarse with the new tyres on it!!!

Couldn’t agree more!!! Absolutely boss now hey!

I did the border track for the first time with my 4wd club.. absolutely loved it :)

I just love the stripes and the tyres and new wheels

[@lilandjake]

Thanks a million!! Stoked with how it’s starting to look. ❤️‍🔥

[@6dayenduro]

Nice setup , my only comment is I wouldn't have put those big tires on. Given your towing and doing a fair bit of off road work your just putting more strain on the diffs , cvs and reducing your range.You may find your gearbox over heats a bit more too when towing .

[@jamieh4x4]

The Prado looks awesome with the new huge mud tyres. And towing the van up that long sand hill was an impressive feat for a shopping trolley. New Prado 👍

[@Huntersxdrifters]

Guys this thing looks honestly incredibleee!

[@4x4AdventureClubInc]

When you do this trip? I was going to do it over new year. Found out it was closed this time of year

[@kevanharding9716]

The Prado looks like it rides so well with the van on suspension looks so supple great show.

What psi you run on these tires on the highway?

[@maverick2242]

Looks great, from what I can see from states and other recent reviews and also the 200 and recent 300 issues! Id seal that airbox well and get a snorkel before any other mods hopefully someone soon will make an AF airbox for it! Im diffing the new Prado, but nit a fan of first gen, but if ya do what any of us would normally do to future proof our 4wd u will be fine! Bummer about the feet I also love being in bare feet always getting something in my foot thankfully we dont have snakes here! Well not the slithering on the ground type plenty in power 🤘

[@MrAidenaiden71]

I would probably suggest the alternator is positioned to low and craped itself because of the water and mud That sent the 48v battery flat and no eletrics Companies that still put alternators down low is madnes

[@Colin_In_VK]

Yep, time for a bullbar & winch.

[@blacklable999]

Would you not rather spend that little more for the altitude model.

[@richardwalsh5570]

What tyres did you go for Jake?

[@lilandjake]

Maxxis Razr muddies

[@richardwalsh5570]

@lilandjake happy compared to your A/T?

[@richardwalsh5570]

You need a 18v chainsaw, a game changer Jake. You could get Lil to walk along and trim the bushes as you go

[@lilandjake]

We do!!! Would have been so so helpful. 🤍

[@richardwalsh5570]

@lilandjake maybe a Pressy for birthdays 🎂

[@jaksmaster]

@@lilandjake You had a chainsaw on one of your previous vids, and I'm thinking quite a few vids earlier a Q&A on things you don't need to take with you when c/van camping, a chainsaw was mentioned. Now you need it, you don't have it.

[@Stuart.3132]

Hi guys another great lil and Jake video, have you thought about of carrying a bogout kit until you get a bullbar and winch? Safe travels and happy new year.

[@antonminos1737]

🙂 legendssssss ❤❤❤

[@Rochelle-1972]

How do you go with payload? Our van is 3T also with about 260 - 270 on the ball. We were quite keen to go down the Prado track for some comfort, coming from an Isuzu NPR truck, and to not get bogged would be fab 😂. But upon looking at payload it’s like less than 600kg, which nearly half of that would be towball weight, add the fuel, then 160kg of people and smallish dog, don’t think we would even be able to have a fridge in the back, let alone basic tools, and my partner loves his tools, hence the truck. So ended up ordering a 76, definitely not gonna be as comfy as the Prado but has 1200kg payload, and will be more comfy than the truck and wont get bogged on wet grass 😂. Unfortunately not a V8 but same motor as the Prado. Good to see what you can do with your Prado tho!

[@Corey-pd3mi]

Payload is with tanks full. Tare weight and kerb weight are not the same thing

[@Rochelle-1972]

@ are you sure the payload is with full tanks? I always thought that kerb weight was with 10 litres of fuel. Everything I’ve read says the altitude is 580kg payload. If that did actually include a full tank then I’m spewing cos we could have probably have made it and be able to have a few things in the back like a fridge. But if the payload figure on our 76 is 1200kg after a full tank of fuel gives us an extra 100kg. Weighbridge trip the day we pick it up I think cos it will have a full tank of fuel and we won’t have added anything else yet.

[@Corey-pd3mi]

@ Tare weight: This is the weight of an empty vehicle with all of its fluids but with only 10 litres of fuel in the tank. Kerb weight: This is the empty weight of a vehicle with a full tank of fuel and doesn't include payload including passengers, luggage, and accessories such as bullbars and roof racks.

[@aussiewalkabout4x4]

the Razr's are fantastic for traction

[@deani3003]

Any concerns on draw modifications and accessibility to the 48v battery for potential servicing?

[@lilandjake]

Hey, good question! If we have any problems, we will likely have to pull the drawer system out ourselves first, but worth it for the convenience

[@davesieber2095]

So jelly car looks awesome nice wk guys

How you know that van is not 3000 kg

@tikamsahu4716 i don't but their aren't many rims and tyres that are rated to over 1500kg which would be a minimum

[@OzzyBattler4697]

Just don't get any water in the air box!

[@davidw3323]

Really highlights the Prado is very good. 2.8 Ltr diesel with 48v low down torque assist mated to the 8 speed gearbox is an excellent setup.

[@hsvrodeo1]

You will walk up there at 8psi all around
