Hi Guys,
Another aussie article on a test drive from Sydney to Fraser Island off road, with a fully kitted out 78 troopy as support truck. With a variety of terrain, the 150s, a 5 door and 3 door performed incredibly well, especially as they were on road tyres. in fact on one slippery ,steep,muddy mountain track,the troopy was the only one to get stuck!!
In the test it made everyone sit up and take notice of what a serious 4wd machine it could be.
To Quote,
"I can state right now that we pushed these vehicles beyond what most expect and they were simply awesome-getting into places that many other 4wds would come unstuck,or should that be simply stuck."
"Overall, we agree that they took on everything we threw at them,which was a lot,and came through without breaking a single component.A few scrathes but they excelled."
So they like them down under.One test driver owns a 2008 120, his view,
"I had the opportunity to drive the new prado for 6 days over various types of terrain. I own a 2008 D4D GXL Prado and understand its limits. Straight out of the factory the new prado blew me away with what they did."
They like it down under.
Hope to see you in June.
Cheers,Tony.
