For those posting negative comments about the car. Try not to miss two people’s pure joy and milestone on a NEW CAR DAY !! Comparison is the thief of joy. Congratulations both of you, beautiful car, beautiful people. Happy motoring.
Welcome to the club. I have owned 6 prado’s now since 2005 and have loved everyone. They are the best car on the market and have never missed a beat. You will absolutely be so happy with it. Congrats on the new car.
Hey Guys, we are Stephen and Jo-Anne from Esperance, congratulations and well done on buying your new car in Esperance, Stephen is a proud Tassie bloke though and he would have loved to have been the cheering crowd for you at Esperance Toyota! Stay Golden!
Sweet! Be interesting to see what you do in the rear seeing how the 3rd row seats supposedly can't be removed. And not much weight on top of the rear battery.
absolutely agree, heard about this… rear seat removal voiding warranty and the 60kg limit on the 48v battery and carrying ad blue as an additional storage 🤢🫣😬
Congratulations.... We had the same excitement when we picked up our new 300series LC. 4 months later and we still LOVE it sooo much. Such a great car to drive. Enjoy your new baby.
Congratulations, that's so flash!! I feel like you needed a crowd for a round of applause when you pulled the cover back. Hazey will be in her element in this ride 😎
Congrats guys……. I’ve been watching reviews on the new Prado, (Ronnie Dahl), and going down to my local dealer who has three of the models in their showroom…… They are a beautiful looking car……. Can’t wait to see the adventures you go on, in it…
Congratulations guys! Sad day for the Ranger as it’s done you so well, but I think you will be pretty darn happy with the 250. It’s something else buying a new car and really happy for you both and love how excited you were.
We really love your adventures. It’s Raw and authentic, a true insight into adventuring off road. Thank you for having us on board to share your adventures.
Congrats guys, interested to know after having a canopy that was setup perfect for touring, you've opted for a wagon over another ute and canopy setup?
Congrats Lil and Jake. 🎉 So excited for you both, I hope it all works out for you. Now I'm looking forward to a build series on it. 🥰 Sad to see the Ranger go, you made so many great memories in it. I hope you can make many more in your new car. ❤
Thanks so much Marky!! Couldn’t be happier. Cannot wait to start the build and see what we can do with the new Prads. You’re right, we have had the absolute best times in that far. Super excited to see what’s around the corner! 🤩
Thought a Prado would be classed as a lighter vehicle than the Ranger “ 2.8 Deisel compared to 3.2 , 5 cylinder, down to 4 , you will either have to put heavier coils or airbags in possibly, there softly sprung which gives them a nice ride
Congratulations guys!!! My husband was talking about the new Prado just the other day. Looking forward to seeing what mods you do and how it handles your travels 😊
Congratulations guys! We have Altitude on order after test driving one today, just as excited as you guys. Coming from the Prado 150 which has never let us down, we only buy Toyota now. You guys will love it! 🍺😁👍
Congratulations. Exciting times. White actually suits it well. I can relate to what you said that everything is so clean. I felt the same way when I bought my last brand new car. In fact your Prado will never be as clean as it was when it left the dealership.
Hi Jake and Lil Congratulations. "A great choice. Bush Barrier in NSW supply magnetic panels to look after your paint work. Order online and it is mailed to you. We bought a set for our Prado
@@lilandjakeI use Bush Barrier on my car, They’re fantastic but not sure about full time travel. They’re not designed to be left on long term. Good luck with the new car guys. I’m sure you’ve done your thorough homework on this truck. So amazing to see how excited you both are 😍
Did they tell you to break it in before towing? Specs have been out there for a long time so I'm a little confused. Hope it goes well for you! I love my 2008 3L 120 300K on the clock and still going strong. BTW I just bought a new Ranger because it smashes the Prado on every statistic, sorry.
Congrats! Absolutely love the new Prado. I have the white U.S. model, couldn’t be happier. Enjoy, looking forward to seeing future adventure content. Subscribed! 🤙
Congratulations Lily and Jake on your Prado. So I guess it’s going to be getting a lot of modifications to it . Very first a tow bar so you can tow the caravan
Think maybe you should’ve got a pre rego GVM upgrade, plus hope that window on the rear is dust proof, but hey can’t wait to see how you fit it out and start your new car adventures!
Im sure you will overcome this new models limitations, but the mild-hybrid system meant Toyota had to sacrifice quite alot. I don't think people are trying to ruin your moment, it's just some who placed orders have been disappointed
Congratulations i have waited until the Australian release looked altitude yesterday It will be great to see you put it through its paces I didn’t pre order as I wanted to see the car first now I’m put off by the rear cargo floor want to run a fridge and draw might save more and go a second hand 300 GR
Wait around a few weeks until we have our rear setup in, you’ll change your mind. You can definitely remove the seats, don’t listen to what others say looking for clicks, 😉
Congratulations! Keen to know what you do for a brake controller (Toyota has one listed on their site as an official accessory) and keen to see what you do with the build. Did you get the hitch installed before taking delivery?
@lilandjake ah wicked that the hitch and wiring was there stock, confusing on their website. Curious to see what you go with for the controller. Keep us posted and enjoy your new toy!
Just canceled my VX today…😢 Third row disaster, not adjustable second row, dpf and adblue, and not seems like quiet on test drive…🙄 Long time Toyota fan very disappointed…
congrats guys. New follower. Love your vids. I have a 250 on order and get it in 3 weeks. Will you guys be pulling out the 3rd row seats and have you discussed it with Toyota? I will be for certain. Cant wait to see your fit out!!
@@lilandjake that's why i was confused with the comment. You said you needed a bigger car to tow, but the ranger can legally tow and carry more... would the new ranger be a car that can tow and carry more for you? But i know, the prado looks great, its also spacious inside and a nice rig to drive and 4x4 and toyota. But i am not sure wagons can legally tow what you want. I was also looking to buy the new prado, but i am worried about the tow. I think i have no option but to buy a ute because i need to tow a 3T hybrid caravan, plus my wife, kid, long range f/tank, water, winch, bull bar, roof rack. A wagon, i would be over unless its a landcruise, but i cant afford it. Thanks for the reply
Wow that’s gold, can’t wait to see it “Bogged” as well, get the hat badge of honour. I seen one in Mandurah yesterday, ceramic and PPF that paint work, it looked awesome.
Congrats on your new Prado how exciting looking forward to following along many more adventures in your new Toyota, we upgraded 3 years ago to a gxl model and love it, love the look of the new models
Welcome to the Prado family!! You may need to get a lighter caravan, though. We still love the 3L 150 series with no DPF and no adblue. Looking forward to see what mods you do and how the rear goes. Cheers guys. 👍👍
Way to go guys. What an awesome vehicle. I was lucky to see one last year in the flesh. Stumbled onto a Toyota film crew shooting a prototype Kakadu Prado towing a boat up the boat ramp at the Hawksbury River car park just off the M1 north of Sydney. A very short grab from the shoot is in the Prado add online now. Was instantly in love love love ❤ I’m on the very very long wait list for mine. Will have to live vicariously through yours until I get in one. Bring on the reviews. Don’t hold back. You usually don’t 😂 Cheers
Hi guys. It’s the first time watching your channel. I don’t know what your situation or vehicle requirements , but I was a ranger guy, and every time I had a breakdown I said “I’m gonna buy a Toyota. Then finally the range let me down for the last time. I’m now a Toyota owner like yourself. Congratulations
Just my opinion. But bad choice. You now need add blue. 60kg limit in the boot. Not 12v so you need a step down unit to power all you accessories. As its 48 volt. Good luck getting spares or batteries when remote . Hopefully the gcm is ok.
Yep for the price point, I think they may regret this decision in the future 💯 too many beers with a certain YT creator. The back is totally 'NOT fine' Jake.
Adblue is really not a big deal. My defender needs this and I've only had to refill once after 24,000km. Vehicle now has 31,000km and no problems. Refill before you travel and carry a small bottle on long trips away from town just in case for peace of mind. And if the 48v system is anything like the one in my defender you can get a 12v source directly from it. In mine this supplies a DCDC charger and in turn a 12V battery. And to clarify, these vehicles still have 12v systems, the 48v system is more like an add on system and not a replacement for the 12v system.
@@paulgeorge7158where did you get that information. My new defender has a similar 48v system and can go 900mm deep in water. LR say it will float if you try any deeper but not a single thing mentioned about the generator.
Great looking car and congrats, going to be interesting watching what you do to it, interesting choice in the 7 seats, I believe the 48v components are under those seats - best wishes
Hi Lil and Jack, congratulations on your new vehicle. Only thing now you’ll be terrified to take him down. Some really hard crazy tracks for a few years but that’s okay. You gotta look after your gear , I’m so happy for you both , Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 I’m on the big island 🏝️
Yiew!!!! Thanks so much Cliff. Hahahahah, I know that first scratch will hurt the most but from there it’ll be guns blazing! Can’t wait to get off-road! 🙌🏼
So there is a huge waiting list for this car… interesting how you get to jump the queue. I was quoted 2 years for the Prado altitude so we ended up buying the GX 550 Lexus instead, arrives in 2 weeks and I had to wait 6 months.
Nice work, Stoked for you guys! Can’t wait to see the adventures you get up to the near future! P.s Great meeting you both at the Perth show. Our bogged hats are wicked 🤙
So happy for you guys. Really nice car. Looking forward to the run down on the vehicle it should take you around Oz a few times. Are you guys going to fit it out? Bullbar, winch etc? Can't wait until your next episode.
"Congrats, Lil and Jake, on the new Toyota Prado! 🎉 Buying it sight unseen takes some guts, but it looks like you got a great one. Excited to see how it handles on your adventures and what upgrades you’ll make to get it travel-ready. Curious to hear what drew you to pay the 'Toyota tax' - the reliability, reputation, or something else? Looking forward to seeing where the Prado takes you both!"

Wow congrats. You bought it without knowing the GCM! That’s a real bold move given the rest of your setup. Hope it works out for you.
Total ignorance I d say
Thanks!
No way!!!! Thanks so much Andrew! That means the world. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Wow! Congrats guys... Beautiful car. What about all the gear out of the back of the ranger? Where are you gouing to put it?
Congratulations guys! Sad day for the Ranger as it’s done you so well, but I think you will be pretty darn happy with the 250. It’s something else buying a new car and really happy for you both and love how excited you were.
Well done guys 🎉, enjoy the Prado. We made a huge decision 5 years ago to upgrade from my 3.0 Litre Manual Patrol to a LC200. Man, Oh what a feeling!!
Yay!!!! Thanks so much Steve! We are so excited. Tell me about it, it’s a cracking feeling. 🙌🏼
We really love your adventures. It’s Raw and authentic, a true insight into adventuring off road. Thank you for having us on board to share your adventures.
Sorry guys I don’t follow Toyota will miss your blogs
Congrats guys!! I agree, awesome looking vehicle!! cant wait to see the prado Vs ranger video too!
Woo hoo. Congratulations on the upgrade. Many more adventures to come
So true Paul!! Can’t wait to make memories in this thing. 🔥
Now it's time for the Lil and Jake signwriting wrap!!❤ Congratulations you two, how far you have come, the dream come true!!
Oh Thankyou!!! ❤️ maybe we’ll have too!
Congrats guys, interested to know after having a canopy that was setup perfect for touring, you've opted for a wagon over another ute and canopy setup?
They may be considering doing "overlanding" instead of "off-roading."
Congrats Lil and Jake. 🎉 So excited for you both, I hope it all works out for you. Now I'm looking forward to a build series on it. 🥰 Sad to see the Ranger go, you made so many great memories in it. I hope you can make many more in your new car. ❤

What were the choices you looked at to narrow it down to the Prado???
You appear to have bought sight unseen/ untested?
Sometimes life’s about taking risks hey?! 😏
@@lilandjake Not for that sort of money, plus what you are wantingh to do with it
Congratulations Lil and Jake! How exciting.
PPF it asap if you can. Never saw this coming, congratulations. Will be exciting to watch. I think you guys are the first with the new Prado.
Couldn’t agree more!!! Won’t make that mistake twice. 🤦♀️ thanks so much!!! Really really happy with it so far! 🔥
Congratulations guys!!! My husband was talking about the new Prado just the other day. Looking forward to seeing what mods you do and how it handles your travels 😊
Congratulations guys! We have Altitude on order after test driving one today, just as excited as you guys. Coming from the Prado 150 which has never let us down, we only buy Toyota now. You guys will love it! 🍺😁👍
No way!! How exciting is that. Really happy with it so far, bet you’re itching to pick it up! 🙌🏼
Congratulations. Exciting times. White actually suits it well. I can relate to what you said that everything is so clean. I felt the same way when I bought my last brand new car. In fact your Prado will never be as clean as it was when it left the dealership.
😝 so true, we’re a few days in and there’s already bugs in places they shouldn’t be, thanks for watching legend!
Hi guys congratulations but where are you going to fit all your toys for off grid travelling
Good on you guys. Congratulations on the new rig.
Congratulations guys. So happy for you. You kept this a secret ☺️
Let the modding begin 😜
Yiew!!! That’s the plan. Cannot wait, got any ideas for us??
Hi Jake and Lil Congratulations. "A great choice. Bush Barrier in NSW supply magnetic panels to look after your paint work. Order online and it is mailed to you. We bought a set for our Prado
Oh really? We’ll look into them. Hopefully keep this one scratch free!
Congratulations guys well done! Question, why didn’t you get all aftermarket stuff like tow pro fitted at the dealer before pickup?
@@lilandjakeI use Bush Barrier on my car, They’re fantastic but not sure about full time travel. They’re not designed to be left on long term. Good luck with the new car guys. I’m sure you’ve done your thorough homework on this truck. So amazing to see how excited you both are 😍
@Travelinoztake2
Too expensive from the dealer.
Did they tell you to break it in before towing? Specs have been out there for a long time so I'm a little confused. Hope it goes well for you! I love my 2008 3L 120 300K on the clock and still going strong. BTW I just bought a new Ranger because it smashes the Prado on every statistic, sorry.
Congrats guys, I’m so envious. Looking forward to see how you go living out of a 250 Prado. So sad to see the old girl Ranger go 😢
I know so sad! But yes stay tuned to see us put this thing through its paces! ❤️
I’m sure you’ll enjoy the Prado though. I absolutely love mine.
Well Done, now PPF, front bar, tyres, springs, air bags, roof rack, tow pro elite, ando plug, battery...............................
Congrats guys, looking forward to seeing you put it through its paces... cheers for sharing...
Us too!!! Cannot wait to get it off-road and show you what it’s all about. 🙌🏼
awesome guys - well done - nothing like a new car for excitement 😊
I'm so excited for you guys!! Feels like it's my car too. Can't wait to see you fit it out. Bring on the adventures!!!
Thanks so much! That’s so sweet, We are over the moon! We’ll definitely be doing some mods soon!
@lilandjake you need to come back up north to the pilbara, especially newman. Love you guys
Congrats guys!! That’s so awesome!
Congrats on your new car guys! Enjoy it
I’m soooo happy for you guys, you deserve this!! I can’t wait to see your next adventures!!!!❤️❤️

I'm so stoked to see you guys evolvuting 🤣 That is one sweet new ride Lucky ducks ☺Hard work pays off 👍 Cant wait for new adventures in your new steed
Hahahahah, so so happy!! Thank you so much. Really looking forward to sharing all the adventures with you. 🙌🏼
Not my cup of tea but if you’re happy with it then rock on. Needs a lot of mods so it doesn’t look like a soccer mums weekender.
Congratulations Lily and Jake on your Prado. So I guess it’s going to be getting a lot of modifications to it . Very first a tow bar so you can tow the caravan
Can’t wait to follow this adventure. I have the 150 Prado and want one of these already!
7 levels of stoked and all kinds of wonderful for you. Congrats!
Thanks so much! Really can’t wait to share it with you all. 🙌🏼
Yewwwww! Congrats - so happy for you legends ❤
Wooooo
So nice.. I lost my BMW in the recent Florida hurricanes & have been shopping out a good used Toyota pickup..great choice. 👍✅
Think maybe you should’ve got a pre rego GVM upgrade, plus hope that window on the rear is dust proof, but hey can’t wait to see how you fit it out and start your new car adventures!
Congrats guys, must've been a few tears leaving the Ranger behind 😢. Look forward to seeing how you mod the Prado. Dual cab chop 🤔
So so sad but excited to see what’s in stall for us in the future. 🙌🏼 imagine!!! That chop would be crazy.
Im sure you will overcome this new models limitations, but the mild-hybrid system meant Toyota had to sacrifice quite alot. I don't think people are trying to ruin your moment, it's just some who placed orders have been disappointed
Congratulations guys
Looks pretty amazing, will love to see the upgrades as you do them
Thanks, so excited! Will be sharing them all, can’t wait to share! 🔥
How good is the feeling! We just upgraded our tow rig from a Pajero Sport to a new Y62
Super happy for you guys, cant wait to see the Prado adventures. Well done
Ohhhh legend!!! Thank you so much Bruce! Absolutely so excited. 🫶🏼
Congratulations i have waited until the Australian release looked altitude yesterday
It will be great to see you put it through its paces I didn’t pre order as I wanted to see the car first now I’m put off by the rear cargo floor want to run a fridge and draw might save more and go a second hand 300 GR
Wait around a few weeks until we have our rear setup in, you’ll change your mind. You can definitely remove the seats, don’t listen to what others say looking for clicks, 😉
Oh wow congratulations guys! So happy for you xxx❤❤
You're the best! Thank you so much!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Congratulations! Keen to know what you do for a brake controller (Toyota has one listed on their site as an official accessory) and keen to see what you do with the build. Did you get the hitch installed before taking delivery?
Thank you!!! Yeah, still trying to make some decisions on that. Official accessory may be the way to go on that one. Nah, got it all stock!! 🙃
@lilandjake ah wicked that the hitch and wiring was there stock, confusing on their website. Curious to see what you go with for the controller. Keep us posted and enjoy your new toy!
Pre rego GVM GCM upgrade ???
Just canceled my VX today…😢
Third row disaster, not adjustable second row, dpf and adblue, and not seems like quiet on test drive…🙄
Long time Toyota fan very disappointed…
Everyone will be taking the 3rd row out for touring. Dont follow the hype!
Nice car ,unsure its as practical as Ranger but
So excited for you! We have just done the same thing - collected our L300 two weeks ago. Like you hadn’t even sat in one prior to collecting it.🌺😁
Oh my gosh!!! That’s awesome. We hadn’t even seen one of got all the specs, bit of a risk but hopefully it pays off. 🙌🏼
Ohh what a feeling guys 😊
congrats guys. New follower. Love your vids. I have a 250 on order and get it in 3 weeks. Will you guys be pulling out the 3rd row seats and have you discussed it with Toyota? I will be for certain. Cant wait to see your fit out!!
Haha Jake was actually thinking the same thing”Zit” looked like the eye of Zion haha, raw honesty wins the day brother 😎
Wow congratulations you 3
I can feel a build series comin !
Wait. The ranger can legally tow and carry more than this prado right?
The old one it definitely can, this is updated specs
@@lilandjakehow can you buy a car and they don't give you the specs before you drive away??
Doesn't make any sense legally or logically

Should have gone for a Cruiser!

Yay! Thank you! 🤩

Just my opinion. But bad choice. You now need add blue. 60kg limit in the boot. Not 12v so you need a step down unit to power all you accessories. As its 48 volt. Good luck getting spares or batteries when remote . Hopefully the gcm is ok.

And also 48v generator can’t get wet , no more river crossings
Just watched a video saying if you take the third row of seats out you void the warranty.
Adblue is really not a big deal. My defender needs this and I've only had to refill once after 24,000km. Vehicle now has 31,000km and no problems.

"Congrats, Lil and Jake, on the new Toyota Prado! 🎉 Buying it sight unseen takes some guts, but it looks like you got a great one. Excited to see how it handles on your adventures and what upgrades you’ll make to get it travel-ready. Curious to hear what drew you to pay the 'Toyota tax' - the reliability, reputation, or something else? Looking forward to seeing where the Prado takes you both!"
Yer I'm thinking the same why Toyota, possibly a sponsor vehicle choice rather than a personal one
@@paulrichardson2229would explain why they got it quicker than others who have ordered
Congrats, what's the advantage of this over the ranger?
It’s not a Ford

Time will reveal all, good or bad.
Couldn’t be more excited!!! Will miss the Ranger but time for the next step of our travels. 🙌🏼
Hope you have it booked in for a GVM upgrade. It will be over pretty much straight away.
