Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / February 2005Prado & Landcruiser
I know that the Prado is now sold as a Landcruiser Prado, but I was just wondering if there was any mechanical commonality (if that's a real word) between the Prado and the 100 series Landcruiser. yes, they share common bolts. > yes, they share common bolts. The keys are similar too. Tony Smith Are the wipers both rubber, and do both have 4 tires on the road? >The keys are similar too. > >Tony Smith Im sure that theres a heap of shared parts from Window wipes to seat runners to heater and aircon componants, you dont think that Toyota especially makes different parts for each model do you? can imagine that, Toyota buys 2,000,000 square metre spare parts department. Actually they are completley different the Praddo is basically the equivilent of the 4Runner(which is still produced and sold in the US and Japan) it runs Hilux engine and running gear things like are cleaners, fuel filters, power steering pumps and other ancillary equipment may be the same across many vehicles in the Toyota Range the 100 series is also made by ARACO(spelling?)

Thanks. I'd only just posted my last question when I read your reply. That clarifies it all for me. When was the last time you went past the Taren point warehouse? >can imagine that, Toyota buys 2,000,000 square metre spare parts department. At the prices they charge, they can afford to ! > When was the last time you went past the Taren point warehouse? > > >can imagine that, Toyota buys 2,000,000 square metre spare parts department. > Im sure that theres a heap of shared parts from Window wipes to seat runners > to heater and aircon componants, you dont think that Toyota especially makes > different parts for each model do you? > > can imagine that, Toyota buys 2,000,000 square metre spare parts department. I assume they do. I guess I wasn't really clear enough. I meant major components. i.e. engines, transmissions, suspension etc. |
