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!

You realy did your reaserch man. Keep the great videos coming

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!

Nice! Do 100 and 200 too. I had a '09 200 until recently, kind of regret selling it, it served our family 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.

It's incredible how ancient this generation is😂😵‍💫

[POPKARSCarSales]

You did not include Gulf spec prados particularly the 5LE engine

[wiredWhiz]

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

should i buy a 2018 prado tx with over on it also loved the video man

[briannorthup]

Why not any commenting on the 4.6L V8?

I envy you guys in RHD markets. When you import a car from Japan the steering wheel is on the correct side.😂
