Gday All,

Since i was last on here i have sold my 100 Serries and purchased a Prado. Im hoping the fuel economy is going to be alot better even tho i stuck with a petrol model.

Welcome to the Prado family guys, we love ours, how does she go pulling the larger van. ours is diesel, I expect the petrol will pull better but she will be a bit thirsty I reckon. Do you use WDH or airbags?

Getting the airbags fitted this Friday. Havent had the van on the back yet so ill have to wait till the end of this month.
Yes i do have a HR tow hitch with the bars so it will be intresting to see how well it sits. On the cruiser it just didnt matter as it had big lift in it. Ill get some pics when i can.

Thanks

Lindsay

Just the new work Truck, V6 Hilux Auto. The Triton is my tow vehicle and is left to tow the EXPANDA.

Thanks guys, The Hilux is the official Pilot vehicle to the Triton. We don't need to use it all the time though. It was a 4 month wait for a 3.0 Diesel, so opted for the V6 175KW. Clock up 1500km per week for work.

Some great rigs coming in, one of my favorite threads to check in on now and then.

The Paj is the main tow vehicle but sometimes SWMBO lets me tow it with the SS on short trips away.

Just propped my C3 here while I put the Pathfinder away when we got home from Moama this afternoon, but it did look cute!

Stopped for lunch at Parkes Radio Telescope the other week - thought I would grab a quick pick of the tug and van...

 

[Bank of Dad]

Sweet!

I wanted to stop at Parkes but got out voted 6 to 1 (1 vote for each kid + 4 for the wife)

Here is a picture of my rig parked at outside the caravan park at Narooma, NSW.

I know the feeling. I think sometimes there's just too much democracy!

Hi Cougz & Aj,

Have you got any feedback on the Prado? I'm looking at purchasing the same, and am interested in your thoughts on Fuel economy, the 5 speed auto, and the car's general reliability. How many K's do you have?

Thanks
Andrew
