imagine using blaze tapos hindi umaabot 4000rpm LOL.

i use petron blaze.. and i rev my petrol cars past 4k rpm.. medyo heavy ang right foot ko eh.. hehe

one thing i noticed using petron blaze is less soot formation on the tail pipe..

dun sa 2nd hand kia picanto ko, when i bought it, meron soot sa tail pipe eh.. i cleaned it then continue to use petron xcs.. after few months may soot ulit..

same thing with my 2nd had mazda 3 skyactiv.. may soot din using xcs or xtra unleaded...

i cleaned the tail pipe again and switched to petron blaze.. ayun hindi nagkakaroon ng soot sa dulo ng tail pipe.. at less din yung "amoy" lalo na sa cold start..

and i get longer mileage using blaze.. kaya di na ako nagamit ng iba.. hehe

Please educate me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think mine is air suspension. It’s the usual double wishbone independent suspension on the front and the 4-link one in the rear.

I can’t recall how it was when my BK was new, I got it 2008. But I feel that the Prado is a lot more stable, minimal vibration on small bumps and potholes with less impact on the rest of the vehicle. Gives me the feeling that the Prado is more well put-together, if that makes sense. Apologies if I can’t give a more technical response.

Like the bigger lc200, hindi ba kdss na din ang prado? Lol.

And compared to pajero bk, wow i guess that must be nice. We also have that but it's the 4m41 diesel. Plus the prado has nicer seats and the door pockets are very useful during out-of-town trips, unlike the bk which lacks them for the rear doors. The nvh levels are on a better level too.

Too bad it's just a bit overpriced for what it offers rofl.

Yes it has KDSS. Agree with you on the creature comforts of the BK.

On the price, I would say it’s relative. I got the gas version and for me it’s a step up from the BK which I think is almost 3M now, if I’m not mistaken. Now when you think of the other comps like the explorer, the evoltis, the cx9 and others, and what I was looking for in a vehicle, I would say it’s just about right. But that’s just me.

There's no more local pajero bks since it stopped production last year and the last one offered was the diesel. They axed the gas version years ago i believe but glad to know the prado is a step-up from it and honestly, it's more all-around than the bigger lc200. It really takes actual experience on owning them to make sentiments like this. Anyway, hope you're happy with the purchase. Sa susunod, some inputs naman from its performance hehe.

Yup, after the lockdown when I finally get to stretch it’s legs ��

I’d still want an LC200 at some point, or maybe the 300 series, but I don’t feel I’m compromising with the Prado. It’s a tank on its own, suits what my family and I need perfectly at this time and hopefully will be as durable and reliable as its legendary Kuya.

and i get longer mileage using blaze.. kaya di na ako nagamit ng iba.. hehe

Amen. Pansin ko din maganda mileage sa Blaze.

TSS
BSM & RTCA

Yes naman it will be reliable, since it's also an lc after all hehehe. And due to their close price range (mostly for the diesel) with each other, even if the usual impression is to go for the bigger lc instead, there are still features that are unique to the prado; like flat folding 3rd row seats with power adjusts, rear back-up camera and opening tailgate glass. Plus for what its worth madami na rin yung v8 sa kalsada eh so may exclusivity factor yung lc150, which is a good thing if you don't want something na palasak.

For the outgoing model? Wow ayus yun. Hope it doesn't look like the dubai versions na may bumper kits. Sana yung stock look lang as is.

You think some of these features can be bought and installed on mine? Haven’t seen them in action, like the TSS and the RTCA, but it would be great if I could purchase them later on as upgrades.
