The facelifted 2018 Toyota Prado Kakadu is finally here and it now comes with extra towing capacity (3000kg), a new face and a revised interior.
But, at 2500kg, is the Prado getting a bit big for its boots? Paul Maric finds out.

It doesnt look weird anymore. Like the styling
yvse vyse agreed
yvse vyse it never did
True.... The earlier headlights were a fang toothed horror
yvse vyse optional access hydraulic pump adjust crank to back hatch
Probably because we are used to its looks now...
I think Toyota should put a bit more money into their center screens.
They should add Anidroid Auto!
Cool James q
No
Screens are irrelevant
You just need buttons
Screens in cars are dumb
@@hairynoongatoes7368 says the guy with a fortnite pfp
Yea also better interior
I like the way this guy does his reviews
I love it! I wanna buy immediately !
Thank man for the information and advice
Yes, I love the bronze colour for this vehicle.
This is the best review i have ever seen👍
Thanks!
This videos deserves a thumbs up
Awesome ride! Well presented !
It's expensive, but then you can drive this thing for the next 20 years and nothing will go wrong.
An old myth. Plenty of issues with the 2.8TD in the Prado.
Well, your welcome to buy a Land Rover or Jeep product. LoL.
I agree, new diesels have nowhere near the longevity of things like the TD42 or the 1HZ/1HD. I’d actually have the petrol 6 over the new 2.8, but theyve discontinued it now, so that disappoints me.
it is not about going wrong. it is about what will change around you.(already lacking lane assist and auto parking) that you would want to have or forgo
Yeah, I have it on good authority from a toyota mechanic that the 2.8’s are having some pretty serious issues. I really was looking forward to seeing the 1UR in the new gen, but they axed it.
Love the Prado
Thank you so much for amazing information
Good looking car nice design and updated.
wow the front end looks so muscular now. Liked the previous one, but now i like it even better! thank god i held back from buying one last year when there was a massive sale for one since i wanted to keep my landcruiser. now i might just be able to let the LC go and get one of these. But if only toyota will give us a v6 tt diesel or maybe even the V8 diesel in these prado. if they did that, i would buy it in a heart beat!
why do you want a prado over a landcrusier?
Louie Lambretta because doing 25l per 100km is not fun. So much to the point that its a garage queen. In the past 9 years of owning her, I have driven just over 30k Kms on it.
LOL then why do you want a v8 in the prado
Louie Lambretta because it actually does way better fuel economy than the v8 petrol land cruiser. I know that it can actually achieve 15 l per 100km since my mates land cruiser does that. Once in a while. Though you're right, it might not make sense at all since they can still be thirsty.
You know you can get a v8 diesel which is whats in a landcruiser
Great review
Brilliant Review, the new model is better than the previous...
I always love it when Seth Macfarlene (😂) does a review; always informative and educative👍👍👍
Also, who knew Seth was an Aussie😂😂😂
Ha ha, thanks!
Prado Not only towing 3000 kg it's emotionally towing it's lovers around the world.
I like the fridge 👌
Flawless off road segment.
Flawless? Are you kidding me?
I love the prados
Edit. The best car ever
I have a Lexus 570 planning to get a land cruiser after this
Yo! Seth! Thank you for inventing family guy and the simpsons!
It seems caradvice has eased off the crappy music. This is good, please continue. The video seems a shit tonne better now in terms of production quality.
You should do a review on the Toyota Prado GX manual
Thanks for the video 👍🏽 would it be worth to get the newer Ldv d90 or ssangyong Rexton? Or would it better to get the 2018 prado?
Thank you
I dont quite like the look of the Land Cruiser but this new Prado looks really good!
So, is it better in terms of ride quality and body control than the outgoing ? And, if yes, why?
I like how your words flow naturally. Promising presenter.
I drive a 2014 Kakadu, has the same suspension as the new one so I can't see why it would be better. But it doesn't need to be ..! It's a great car to drive.
i like it. great job
I love the new look, perhaps even more than the Sahara. Shame they cant seem to get the entertainment system right. I love the colour.
What an awesome truck. I really hope Toyota brings this to the USA. Compared to the Lexus GX460 the body styling is better, has better off-road angels, has a rear locker and likely available at a slightly lower price point.
it is 2019 now. this video was uploaded in 2017?
What an amazing car...
If Toyota would do a 6 cylinder diesel this would be perfect. Look forward to trying this new model though.
jbk94 they did for years, in the 80 series cruiser up to the last of the 100 series.
why diesel??? smh
Crashryding A revised version of that engine would be great in this one!
Daniel Cox What do you mean? For me diesel is better for off-roading with Its low down torque rather than having a v6/v8 petrol Which needs to be higher in the rev range to get the same or similar torque numbers
@@danielcox4398 Australians love our diesels. As you heard 98% of Prado sales are Diesel. Even the big brother Cruiser is sold almost only with diesels.
And then.
Wht not Diesel?
I love Toyota Prado
I love the look of it :D I think its Toyota's best LandCruiser now.
A 3.5 or 3.7 diesel would be perfect for this car
thing of beauty
Could you please do a review on the Toyota Prado GX
I have my 2000 model prado and still performs very vell.
Awesome performance and good quality Toyota cars and I have questions to you why do you spell prada it's Prado bro🤣🤣🤣🤣
700mm wading for 2016 Prado as well? Or only 2018?
Just bought mine, the TXL version 2020 , it amazes me how cheap they are in other countries. IN Colombia the TXL version is 70K while the VX version is worth 85k-95k.
In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, diesel Prado could be easily US $ 200,000 range...😢
would a passport ground clearance handle these?
Needs a 6cyl. Can buy a VX Landcruiser 200 for same price as Kakadu. They are nice to drive though
Im confused, the title says its 2020 toyota prado kakadu but when i read the description it says its a 2018 toyota prado kakadu, which one is exactly true??
Looks much better now..
Love it
Price of thr kakadu in Australia?
My brother Prado is Superb in reliability and offroad
He is the one who taught us how to walk on mud and drink salt water.
They don't get their parts donored like us
I love it.❤️
How come its magically gone out to 3t towing. Vehicle towing capacity is, quote: ''a factor of its engine size, brakes, weight, transmission, tyres, bearing, chassis & suspension. What's changed here from the previous model please???????
What about the dpf issues???
Is the manual option available?
very good
Which better & nice : Prado 2018 vs Fortuner 2018 ??
Is this Toyota LC Prado been updated to not be so underpowered on the highway? That's my main problem.
Yeah - protect the main beam light at all costs. It does not matter if one of the sides of your jeep is missing once you can see where your going.
true - like they expect to crash the side mostly
Can you do a comparison between the Prado and Pajero sport
Gino Barrera got a Pajero Sport lots of safety features good to drive and cheaper too!
Pajero sport ftw my guy👌🏽
Best ever
Helo! The Prado 2.8 D4D? Euro6 Adblue?
love the 4x4 track lol any decent 4wd would have made it look easy. All those electrics damn i would have went down that hill at 50km/h not 5 lol
I was gonna get the Ford Everest but I think this changed my mind
u mean the maximum ground clearance is not 218mm? as you can raise the car?
Rounded out nicely.
All i can see is squares
Theres only one way to find out, let me check my wallet.
Rob the bank
One day😎
KDSS only on the Kakadu now... :"-(
Canada needs more Prados and Land Cruisers.
Does it have manual transmission
Seth MacFarlane is reviewing cars now?
Just nowhere near as funny.
Who the hell is Seth McFairlane?...
LOL
🤣🤣🤣

Can you review "2020 Toyota LandCruiser Sahara", please!
Planning to! Anywhere you’d like to see it go?
Prado is the best I like it it my dream car
You wrong it looks great
Toyota should make 3l v6 diesel motor for prado n hilux n hiace
do a review for ldv d90
love the prado, but why won't toyota put a panoramic sun/moon roof in there?
That feature will make the top range model worth your money if Toyota did put in a sunroof.
How is this the 2020 prado review when it was uploaded 2 years ago?
How’s its ride?
Wait it has the same engine as the hilux and heavier. Its good, but the engine is somewhat lacking tho.
The engine is pathetic. Way too small. Boosting small engines isn't the answer. We want more cylinders!
Buy just the landcruiser
I have the Fortuner with the same engine. I think this is underpowered
Hi please I need ur help my prado indicTor distracts my music when I show the indicator how do I disable that?
We don't think you can? Pretty sure the indicator is more important than your music though.
The off road settings are simply too many. It's been a problem since Toyota introduced the MTS. They should try making the system more integrated as Land Rover does.
Great presenter
Thanks :-)
Was thinking the same thing.
I just bought a Haval H9, pretty much the same car for half the price and 7 year warranty..
Is is available in USA
It may be expensive but it was made honestly by the hands of Japanese in Tahara /Aichi Plant
I noticed you lost your front number plate. Did this happen while wading through water? This happens to me too on my Pajero. You'd think manufacturers would have designed something to prevent this by now. Maybe they're assuming [incorrectly] drivers who takes then offroad would get bullbars.
Yes :-( it’s easily fixed with another couple of screws :-)
@@Drivecomau and new plates
the best suv in the world
this is what is called built like a tank.. everthing looks like it will last 4ever.. good family car for both off road and for on road.. only thing its lacking is android auto and apple car play..
Hello! Can anyone suggest me a cheap company to rent a 4wd from Darwin to see Kakadu? BIG THANKS!
Would like to have this in addition to the 200 series in the U.S.
You can get it at your local Lexus dealer as a GX 450
I feel the rear seating is more of uncomfortable given that your knee is so high over the waist level. surprised for a big SUV.
only 130 kW?
7:02
hahaha good one..
It is a beautiful car Toyota can you do V6 biturbo diesel engine please
Exactly....my 2.7L fortuner has the same engine and this weighs 200kg more
Can i ask how much is the car cost ?👍👍👍
Thank you for using me :)
Share I use here in Africa
Buying a patrol I think. It’s a bit excessive but they undercooked the engine in this wagon.
I hope it is not expensive because one day I will buy it in God wilings
Am getting me one yes
