Prado - Thank you Pradog

[Groen]

I recently bought a 2001 Prado 3.4 V6 after reading the comments of Pradog on this forum. I have been searching for a 99-02 Hilux 2700i 4x4 for more than a year now. I became so desperate that Fords and Mazda's even started looking good! Then I read the posts of Pradog on the Prado he bought after already owning a few Hiluxes. The posts that followed prompted me to investigate the Prado option. I was pleasantly surprised and proceeded to find I Prado with my name on it. I'm very happy with it!! It's an excellent vehicle. I even took it on an offroad course built in riverbed with experienced 4x4 drivers. I'm an inexperienced 4x4 driver at this stage and the Prado made me look good. The most overlooked 4x4xfar. Thank you Pradog!

Hi Riaan,

I'm glad your experience with the Prado is as good as mine, it really is an outstanding vehicle! I was fortunate in that PraDog (the vehicle!) already had OME suspension fitted when I bought it and the wheelbase is just slightly shorter than the 2700 Hilux. The Prado goes absolutely anywhere that White Fang et kie go! I must admit I bought PraDog purely on a whim, I had not at that stage even taken it for a test drive, I just looked at the vehicle, crawled underneath it to check for possible damage - there was none! And that engine sounds Oh, so very sweet! But after the salesguy started the engine and that V6 roar reached my ears, it was a foregone conclusion!!

Glad you're enjoying yours and please do post pics of your pride & joy, we all thrive on photos here on the forum.

Oh, I am so glad you were saved from straying to Fords & Mazdas ;) (Sorry, Doug! Your Ford is the exception )...
