  • 2013 Prado D4 hot spot in rear floor

    Hi
    I was unloading the rear cargo area last Sunday after a trip back to Brisbane from the Gold Coast and I found that the luggage in the area above the exhaust muffler was very hot, not just the bottoms of the cases which where against the floor but up the sides s well. After unloading, I felt all around and the floor above the exhaust was very hot, almost too hot to touch. I'm off to the dealers next week for the 20k service so will report it then. I am just wondering if this is a common issue for which there is a known fix.

    This can't be good and would have been unbearable for a passager using the rear seat.
    Any clues?

    Haven't noticed it. Have you hit something and bent the muffler up closer to the floor?

      I'll take a look on the weekend but I don't think so. It would take a hell of a whack and I haven't been off road

        Sounds like the exhaust is broken and all the heat is not being taken right to the end of the exhaust at the bumper.

          Found the solution myself. There is a heater outlet for the third row on the drivers side rear panel. My daughter had turned the rear heater on and up to maximum.
