    research DPF issues ;p
    you will soon will know why I would prefer triple egr over 1 dpf.
    Also new engine doesn't mean good. first few years will have teething problem like all other new engines do.
    Current D4D engine is quite reliable only issue with injectors but Toyota said they have updated injectors so fingers crossed.

      DPF not confirmed anyway at this time in lux or Prado
      it is confirmed. no dpf = no euro V. will not pass emission test without DPF fitted
      all new utes have DPF as well btw. new lux , new navara, new triton. all have DPF fitted.

        Knew Prado was getting update on August prior to my purchase on May. Reason that I'm happy is fact that.

        1. new engine have DPF
        2. New engine doesn't give you 3 or 3.5 tonne towing like lux
        3. I was more afraid update was getting daylight led headlight or free sat system/rear entertain system like altitute + models.
        4. haven't seen or heard people being happy with downsizing diesel engine. although it's only 200cc downsize but "I" would prefer bigger block size.

        will find out whats like with new engine on current model prado. but at the end of the day, new engine is only going into new prado because no point toyota having new engine factory for same platform. new engine was never designed for current model chassis.
        my 2cent ;p

              I was in at the dealership in Dubbo last Thursday. He indicated that the new model will be available for sale from 15th September - the release has been delayed a month.
              Still no pricing though.

                  But the new engine has greater towing capacity, more power, more torque and is more fuel efficient... I couldn't care less what size engine is under the bonnet, as long as it does the job. The Amarok only has a 2L engine..

                    Same in WA. Spoke to a a dealership and they didn't have much info other than:

                    - new 2.8L engine
                    - new 6 speed gearbox
                    - new headlight design
                    - GXL gets Sat/Nav as standard
                    - new instrument cluster (he was not 100% on this)
                    - changes to the dash (he was not 100% on this)

                        Didn't the Prado just get a new dash last year? Surely they aren't changing it again so soon

                        • Hey Guys,

                          Just in the process of trading my 200 Series in for a 150 VX and was told the new model would only have a new motor/gearbox but interior was exactly the same but just the sat nav with GXL other than that exactly the same but will cost slightly more.

                          So ended up going with the last of the 3.0L

                                Did the same but in a GX 5seater, time will tell if I did the right thing, but good savings over new model.
                                New 2015 150s GX 5 seater with floor mats, towbar and a big wish list

                                before that a 1996 RV6 90S with lots of gear
