At last a commentary that is both well researched and realistic. I rarely hear any commentator praise the 4.0 litre V6 Prado 150 engine. To my mind it’s by far the best and the extra fuel costs more than our weight the maintenance costs of the diesels - but of course I a m mostly a city user not off roading or taking very long distance highway journeys. If I was the 2020 2.8 litre diesel variant would be my choice.
Thanks for confirming my experience with the Prado - but find me a 2017, 6 speed, Petrol Prado in AUS - they are like hens teeth!
It's incredible how ancient this generation is😂😵💫
Great video, subbed!
Great to hear we've earned your sub 😁
Great video lots of good info.
Thanks, we'll keep them coming 👍
Awesome review!
Thank you 😁
I envy you guys in RHD markets. When you import a car from Japan the steering wheel is on the correct side.😂
Nice! Do 100 and 200 too. I had a '09 200 until recently, kind of regret selling it, it served our family well.
The 200 is on the list for a future video, we'll add the 100 as well 😁
In the Philippines we have the 4.0 V6 and the 2.8L diesel. They cost 64k usd and 78k usd respectively. Our tax is high. The GX 460 is also available here for 104k usd.
Would be interesting to know if people choose the diesel or the V6 when they are given the choice 😁
Excellent history lesson. Here in the 🇺🇸 it is the GX460 and we only get the V8. Wish we had the 2.7L for better mpgs. The GX460/Prado are offroading tanks!
Thanks and yes we were surprised they didn't even offer the 4.0-litre V6 in the U.S either 👍
@@themilesdriven I think the 4runner hers the 4.0 V6 here... next gen GX turbos should get good mpgs 😃
@GX460 OFF ROAD Ah yes you're right. Nice GX460 by the way 👍
I own the 2.7l here in Africa and it surprisingly has worse gas mileage compared to the 4.0l due to its underpowered nature, so the car engine struggles to haul the bulkiness around especially in uphill driving conditions
@@tevintyronne2385 really? I recently ordered a V6 and it will arrive in 3 months here in the Philippines. I hope the v6 will serve me well
I advice you go with the 1gr-fe 4.0l v6 engine than the 2TR-FE which is a 2.7l 4 cylinder gasoline since they have similar fuel economy at 25mpg and you can get even better with the v6
But the better acceleration of the v6 gives a thrilling experience overall so the v6 is a no brainer
But still if you think the v6 fuel economy isn't at all impressive I'd advise you to get the 1GD-FTV 2.8l diesel but i strictly discourage you to get the 2.7l petrol please dont
Some great information on engines, thanks for adding 👍
@@themilesdriven yea used to own the prado j120 tx which was a v6 then upgraded to a j150 tx but got the 2.7l instead of the v6, i found out that the v6 was called j150 tz though it had been discontinued so i had to trade in the 150 tx for the tz which i have no regrets at all.
What's wrong with the 2.7 i4???
Whats particular with the 2.7 i4 petrol, apart from the 'under powered' feel? I own one here in middle east.
should i buy a 2018 prado tx with over 500000km on it also loved the video man
A Prado can do that mileage but even the toughToyota will need to have had a solid service history and remember these are still heavy cars, so remember to check the suspension and see if it has a history of replacement parts 👍
You did not include Gulf spec prados particularly the 5LE engine
