Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / July 2007Replacing 4WD Prado
Hi, Thinking of replacing an ageing 3.6 V6 petrol Prado used off road quite a lot. Anything similar out there? Looking for a brand new car. Cheers Craig > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Cheers > Craig The new Prado of course why go backwards when you already own a Toyota maybe step up to the new TD V8 landcruiser 100 series Kev Pajero 3.2DID would be the natural choice. From second rate Prado to award winning for all the right reasons Pajero. Traded our 2002 Prado on new Pajero 3 mnths ago and Pajero is twice the vehicle and tows the van like a dream. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Cheers > Craig Hi Chaps, Thanks fopr your views. The new Prado seems to me to be less of an offroad performer than my current model and the lack of a chassis on the Pajero is a bit of a detractor for serious dirt use. Maybe I'll have to go up to the 100 series of a Patro, though it would have been nice to stick to the smaller size (handier in town).

The New Prado should be just as capable offroad as the old model same suspension setup not sure if it has the traction controls of the Pajero, but the Pajero needs it to make up for it's lack of natural offroad ability(all round independent suspension) the 100 series is not that much bigger than you may think, it is wider but you'd hardly notice and the new turbo V8 diesel sh.ts all over any competition Kev I took a 100 series (GXL TD Auto) for a test drive a week or so ago - very pleasant to drive, and didn't feel any bigger than my 4Runner David > ....... > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Kev Could try the Jeep 2007 unlimited in diesel ???? Lushy yes I run a 2001 TJ and love it. > I took a 100 series (GXL TD Auto) for a test drive a week or so ago - > very pleasant to drive, and didn't feel any bigger than my 4Runner [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> >> Kev Hi Kev, Thanks for your views. I think that I'll have a look at the 100 series. Cheers Craig Hi Folks, Hi Chaps, Thanks fopr your views. The new Prado seems to me to be less of an offroad performer than my current model and the lack of a chassis on the Pajero is a bit of a detractor for serious dirt use. Maybe I'll have to go up to the 100 series or a Patrol, though it would have been nice to stick to the smaller size (handier in town). Cheers Craig |
