The new J250 Toyota Prado hasn't set the world on fire like Toyota may have wanted, with many of the die-hard faithful criticizing the addition of a mild-hybrid system. With many saying you're better off sticking with the old one.

With help from our mate Matt Campbell from @therightcar, we compare new and old to see what's what.

You done well, Adam by putting Matt on the channel. You 2 have excellent chemistry and I believe this collab should be a regular thing

ReDriven uses a sensible and logical approach to putting these videos together. Keep up the good work

Keep in mind that on release the J150 took heaps of hate from owners of the previous model... just saying.

This needs to become a bimonthly type of video as it was engaging, entertaining and good to see in a review Adam talking to someone else in front of the camera.

I'm glad that Matt said about the J250 looking like a toy as it reminds me of a Lego brick with wheels.

I honestly wasn't expecting this sort of video today but glad it happened.

Great work as always guys and same to Matt and look forward to Sunday's video as per usual 👍

@drivingparadox 1 year ago

Great collab. The occasional guest is a nice touch and keeps the audience engaged.

@andyh5666 1 year ago

Great collaboration guys. Love it.

Thos format is perfect, complete with Matt... Benefit is we get the chance to decide if the extra money for the new model is worth not juss the new design... But akso risk of issue still being solved...

My 2 favorite car journalists from Australia together ❤.

anytime any vehicle from any manufacturer gets redesigned, the fans of the old ones show up and complain. A few years later they'll love the new one and be scared at the idea that it might get redesigned

I own a 2015 Kakadu 2.8 and even though its nearly 10 years old, its got close to no rattles or squeaks and its been on all sorts of terrain and many kilometres on corrugations. Yes the engine lacks some power compared to the upgraded one, but it hasn't skipped a beat in the 10 years/220k that I've owned it. I got the timing chain hardware and DPF replaced under warranty as a precaution and Toyota were great about it. All they needed was proof that all services were carried out in time and by a licensed mechanic. I don't see any need to "upgrade" to the 250 or any other 4wd unless i decided i needed to tow a 2+ tonne caravan regularly. It is comfortable, capable, great on fuel and gets me to and back from the remotest places on a single tank of fuel.

I had a 2018 Land Cruiser 150 Prado, where the top spec called GX in Norway were type approved by the Norwegian Road Administration for 3,5 tons towing with a special hitch system made and mounted by Arctic Trucks (known as specialists in outfitting Toyota trucks among others for offroad driving). We mounted the Arctic Trucks hitch because we sometimes needed to move a drilling rig giving a towing weight of 3,45 tons for short distances on local roads. Both 3 and 3,5 ton are heavy towing with need for careful driving, but the handling in low speeds at between 60 and absolutely max 70-80 km/h was almost the same with this hitch system from Arctic Trucks. This Land Cruiser is the best work truck I ever had, but I sold it two years ago after I became disabled from a vaccine and had been bedridden for three years. Thanks for your great reviews🇧🇻

i had no idea that rthe sunglass holder was a sunglass holder!!!! I was always disappointed that it was not one, or so I thought. I did not realise that you could pull it down further. I'm pretty sure there's a few of us out there. The Mrs didn't know it either and she has her own Prado. I'm so happy I saw this video. 🙂
