The interior would be the only satisfying component of the vehicle. We have had toyotas for many years only for the advertising. After owning the last prado for less than 12 months we had to trade, very disappointing the price keeps going up unfortunately improvements if any are a letdown, the spare wheel on the back door I would not call a feature put it underneath the vehicle where it belongs. After 40 000 ks when you need to replace the tyres change the spare while you're at it and get new brake pads at the same time. Take my advice and look at other dealerships much better and improved vehicles around.

I enjoy driving the Prado on long distance (however the down hill override in the motor is very worrying as Toyota has told me this is normal)
I love the room in the front of the vehicle but believe the middle requires more room especially when you have adults or a baby seat in there
to date it has been very reliable car and the running cost compare to my last vehicle so i am happy with that

This is a great car to drive and use for just about anything, except the BEEPS. Open the door it beeps, step out with the key in your pocket it screams. There are other beeps too many to mention and you can not turn them off. Oh and the maps in the navigation system are rubbish.

Good on fuel. Comfortable to drive but second row middle seat hard. Cant fault anything else other than we really wanted pearl white but had to buy vx model as that colour not available in glx. Altitude wasn't available but is now. Wish we had of known that. All good

Have only had the car for just on 2 weeks. The car is everything I have expected it to be and more. Very comfortable to drive and quite good on fuel for it's size. Only downside is the towing capacity but I knew that before I purchased it. very comfortable to drive and quiet inside considering it is a diesel.

I've had nothing but trouble with this vehicle, steering/cabin vibration at above 90km from new, Toyota has tried to fix it for the past months, balancing the tyres, rotating each wheel, supposedly reversing the driveshaft, done due to a technical bulletin issued by Toyota in March 2016 for the new 2.8L. A steering damper was fitted as a last resort as these hide many sins. Still not fixed and seems I'm not alone. Now I am getting dash and engine bay rattles, most likely due to the constant vibration.
Not something you want to go though with a new car.
This is my first and last Prado.

Just brought a 2015 GXL for the family. By far the best car I've own or driven.

It's extremely good on diesel. Has a good engine matted with a 6 speed auto. Very roomy for long drives. Heaps of fun off road too. Only downside is the lack of dash storage space.

I purchased my Prado new 10 months ago and 20000km later, i absolutely love it. Drives great, extremely comfortable and plenty of room.
There is nothing i dislike about the interior but if i were to nit-pick, the screen could be bigger.
It is extremely reliable and as cheap to run as you make it. If you floor it at every opportunity it will not be economical but if you take it easy, then it is very economical and given it has a 150L tank, fills can be few and far between.
I very highly recommend the Prado.

Well we thought we might go out and splurge and buy a Toyota Prado, they're not cheap, right at the end of our budget . We could of bought a much cheaper four-wheel drive and at the time the decision was hard. But we decided it was the one for us so we bit the bullet and purchased the car and wow what a 4x4. They really do look great, aggressive but still stylish. We added a ARB bullbar to the front which topped it off, so I've got the next year to deck it out completely, Winch, Spotlights, C B, Lift kit or do I just leave it as it is.
Either way I'm happy...

My vehicle is just coming up to 20,000kms and I am extremely impressed. The general engine refinement and automatic are excellent. One detractor is fuel economy but it udon par with the competition in this class. All round great vehicle and I have not looked back after owning a Patrol.

one of the slowest cars i have ever had makes over taking dangerous and roundabouts hell.also not very reliable see the workshop to much the cars handling is horrible the things is not good off road at all a holden captiva was better the interior is so ugly and cheap looks like it was designed in the 90s

What a slow POS! I loved this car until I drove it on the highway. Absolutely no power, constantly putting my foot down to access the torque but ruining the fuel economy in the process.Transmission isn't the best either, experiencing flaring when cold between 3rd and 4th gear. Drove a NT (2011) Diesel Pajero for 5 years and whilst it wasn't as refined as the Toyota, the engine has plenty of power and still reasonable fuel economy. Seriously disappointed...

This model is underpowered and the auto is a shambles when towing . It hunts between 5th & 4th gear even on a flat road and if in a head wind it is constantly in 4th . The claimed fuel economy is impossible to achieve . This is the third Prado i have owned and am bitterly disappointed.

Although my dealer has done everything to solve the problems it has all been in vain. The claim of 8 litres per 100 klms is dream land stuff for this car. If that were correct, towing I would expect 14-16 tops. My last trip of 8,000 kms my average was 21.8 per 100klms
