  • First post and 2005 Prado Grande purchase question - airbags

    Hi folks.
    Just looking at a 2005 V6 Grande and going through the specs listing on carsales it says it has 6 airbags? I was under the impression the 120 series only ever had 2 - or was that a specific Grande feature?
    Any tips/hints on a V6 120 series purchase would be awesome too!
    Cheers,
    JW

    Grande Airbags - Front passenger & Drivers steering wheel SRS. Front Seat Airbags (side) Front seat curtain, Rear/2nd row curtain Airbags...

    Check the Dashboard for cracks (Toyota generally will replace under warranty if under 10yrs old). Rear suspension Airbags (not coils on Grande) are subject to perishing and split/leak after 10yrs. V6 is a good, strong motor so if maintained well it should be OK. Alternators & Starter motors dont like the mud and are known to fail after being punished. Idler bearings can go noisy but are cheap to replace.
    Good luck!

      Brilliant, thanks Craig for the clarification on the airbags inside (and also the note on the suspension jobbies) - much appreciated!

        G'day JW
        I bought a 2005 Grande in 2014 with 122,000km on the clock. It hadn't been off road until we bought it and after a few trips the shockies became very soft and slightly dangerous at speed. I had them replaced with Bilstein shocks all round and King springs at the front by Fulcrum Suspension. The air bags are bleeding down after a day or two when not driven, so I'll be replacing them with Airbag Man bags before we do the Simpson this year.
        I also replaced the standard headers with Pacemaker extractors and changed the crossover pipe and main muffler similar to a previous post. I can't say the performance or economy is any better, but I'm still glad I made the change.
        Good luck if you decide to buy one, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

        Cheers
