Re: Origin of the Name Prado
Obrigado!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Ek dink ons kan sommer ons eie vertolking gee vir Hilux "die mees betroubare grootste luukse" voertuig ooit.
Wie met meer as twee breinselle wil iets anders ry as"hoe luuksheid"

Re: Origin of the Name Prado
Niel I read once in a Toyota Promotional Article in a motoring magazine that the name Hi-Lux as it was first written was made up as follows.... Hi - (Meant for elevated, higher off the ground) & Lux - being a luxury driving experience when it was launched against the competitors.Thunder02 wrote:

Thus it became Hilux, and we all are enjoying our elevated luxury driving experience.

Re: Origin of the Name Prado
I would rather drive a Prado than a Pajero!!
Nothing to do with brand, just the meaning of the name
