2021/2022 SUV Options

I actually find the LC150 the weakest in its class.

If it didn’t have a Toyota brand name, it might not sell that well. It might be better to just go the whole nine yards and get the LC300 (or a used LC200).

You mean the engine? Regardless, it's more modern though than the pajero bk.

I meant weakest value proposition here. Its a P4m SUV ..... and its class competition is much cheaper and more powerful and more modern.

In australia...they benchmark it against the Everest.....which is also no spring chicken.

Correct me if I'm wrong pero parang it's the other way around ata. Yung everest ang binenchmark ng ford sa prado. Kaya mas expensive din siya dun di kagaya rito.

Prado gas version yata ang nasa budget. Iyong 3.4M na model?

Get the new 2.8L diesel, if the 4.0L V6 gas wasn't enough grunt (torque) for you...although it has more horses.

The Pajero BK's 3.8L V6 is even weaker and an older engine and platform (since 1999) design than the LC150. Same with the 3.2L diesel.

Haha actually okay na the outputs of that new 2.8 engine. I had an LTZ trailblazer before and that engine had no issues with power. Iyan lang maingay sobra.

The older Prado before the update of the engine was underpowered for such a premium priced 4M Peso rig.

But i still think 4m is over pricing it against its explorer, cx9, ascent, palisade, peers etc. The prado gas version naman is priced okay given that its v6 engine is bulletproof.

or wait for the PH release of LC300 3.3L twin turbo V6 D4D
I am not sure on the 3.5L twin turbo V6 gas kung darating dito...

Yup, yung v6 na prado i-compare niyo amongst the v6 cuvs hehehe. Wag na yung diesel.

Mas magiging mura yun because of jpepa pero kung sa new model pa lalabas, baka mas mahal pa based on estimation dun sa pricing ng lc300 sa uae.

221 Toyota Prado review: Now 5Nm. On & off-road baby Land Cruiser test. - YouTube


Best review of the totl prado so far though not sure those options (power folding 3rd row, paddle shifters, Multi select terrain control) etc., are included in the version here.

Update: just checked...they are NOT available in the model here. Meaning dont even bother as they stripped it out....



0-100 kmh time for this diesel 2.8 liter new engine Prado is 11.8 secs. If that is of any interest. Test is some where in the 15 min mark of the video.

From a performance stand point, that 11.8 second time is a bit pedestrian. Uunahan ka pa ng Jazz nyan. Well, it is not meant to be quick anyway.

If you want a quick and fast midsize SUV, then it has to be the Explorer. If you want something nimble, then the CX9.

For those needing a 5-seat SUV which is nimble coupled with a high ground clearance, look at the Outback. An agent told me that they might be bringing over the Outback XT (same engine as the Ascent, 2.4L turbo) by the end of the year.

I’m passing on the explorer and cx9. Looking at Ascent reviews, seems a bit old school in terms of looks… I know that the prado has changed much over the last decade but it the more expensive ascent doesn’t exactly scream premium or luxury. Then we have resale value, plus feedback from Subaru owners that maintenance of units over 5 years is a pain. Again, I love the captains achairs. If this were priced similar to the explorer I’d probably take this in a heartbeat.

I love the Ascent. Aside from the symmetrical boxer engine, it is a true 7 seater. Alas the price is the deal breaker.

Do you have one sir? Sorry I may have misunderstood your post
