the prado is a gay car ?

why do you have one as your background picture then?

[admiralboner]

Aaaaaahhhh. Have a closer look. It's a Land Cruiser II ( LJ78). Sure it says Prado on the back but I mean the 90 and 120 series things. They are more of a yuppie, suburbanite bulk housing estate , pick the kids up from school type of car. I've been around 4WD's all my life and the new ones just don't cut it for me. Take a mate of mine, he just bought a new 200 series. It's nice and plush but I would not buy one to use off road.

my prado is jacked up with a tough set of hooves under her and would walk through that easily,zuno's right, a decent set of tread can do wonders to your vehicle. the prado is one of the most capable wagons in the toyota range i have ever owned or driven.(for a stock wagon that doesnt need aftermarket lockers to get her places, that is.) ALL THE BEST

It's a good car and I wouldn't mind having one. But the HJ60 in my books is far superior and I have driven quite a few different Toyota and other 4WDs. Of course the pick of the crop would have to be a Benz 300GD. Coming out of the factory in near military spec with all the options you have had to buy extra for the Landcruiser and so on. The problem is that the newer 4WDs are getting too yuppieish and they are not a real off road truck.

Prado is awesome 4wd, just learn how to drive it. Prado in this vid looks stock suspension, with shit tyres (road tyres?). Put a 2" lift and bigger tyres and they are very capable. Unfair to compare it to the hilux in your other vids.

I knew I'd get comments like this if i posted something controversial. I'm comparing it to my Prado 1 or Landcruiser II is it is known not a Hilux. Although it only has the 2L-TE in it it would beat the Prado hands down in any situation even if it had higher suspension and all that. Automatics seem to go better off road too than the manual cars.

Happy YouTubing.

the prado is more than capable but most people dont actually use the potential of the car. Also most people just use A/T tyres and wonder why they get stuck in the mud they dont even reduce tyre presure

[Crashryding]

It has alot to do with the driver. I've had Surf's (V6) that would go more places in 2wd than a Suzuki with 31"s'.

I had my Prado 90 out the other week in some pretty gluggy shit, it was goin more places than a Hilux on 35's and Terrano on 33's, and that was on A/t's,I haven't even had a chance to mod it yet and have had it in some rough country when hunting.

Any Toyota 4x4 is better than almost everything. (Not counting the RAV4 here!)

That Prado is only an RV with tiny tires and a soft driver, of course it performs poorly.

I'll take you on with my Prado!

@wronganswerswoody Im not worried about utes mate, i just dont like the way he called the prado a gay car. i like my 1999 mod :) best car ive bought so far

[wronganswerswoody]

@MRLUXIE utes are often too stiff and unbalanced, a well driven prado should easily out drive a hilux, its just all about wheel placement.

you just need to pick your line better, its all about wheel placement
