Yep. 3525 to October 31 for the year, then 3590 in November. Money for jam for Toyota.

In fact, remove RAV4, Prado and Hi-Lux numbers, and Toyota are still in first place. Too easy.

Toyota back over 20,500 but surprisingly, Ford put in 8,720 so win win for both brands.

I think I read somewhere that they expect to deliver over 30000 in the next 12 months.

Wouldnt surprise me. Not content with the 4wd influencers all worshipping at the altar of Troopy, they're now giving them Prados. I wonder how many sheeple will buy one now that Ronny Dahl has....

...and suburbs are pretty good, Shannon Ave has had a bit of investment and traffic is crazy, and it's trying to do a Pako. Down on the coast busy as, cafes and restaurants in high demand. As for car sales, seeing new Prado about, see lots of high end stuff too.

EV sales are in a deep hole, but hybrids sales are up. It will be interesting to see how the Ranger PHEV goes.

lets hope Toyota fixed the Regen issue From whats been said most of these deliveries are for customers that have been waiting like, six months or more so many are getting an early Christmas present. Hopefully another two ships are in before then. |

Thanks Sprintey. Supports the story that different age groups are being affected differently. Boomers/retirees doing ok with the return to a more normal level of interest rate on deposits. Boomers/retirees dont go to CBDs, but do live in suburbs and coastal areas. Boomers/retirees also buy Prados. |

Got a bingo as you described on our street!
I am seeing young crew out at said dining places and pubs, though. There's important stuff to do, people to see, dates to go on etc. It seems they are earning and spending too.

What does everyone think about the new Prado being heavier (150kg, or 250kg??), with the same diesel as before...
A good mate with one reckons the 150 series is marginal for grunt, we took about 4 attempts to do one big dune north of Perth. He's holding back until it gets more power. Also I think the boot's been controversial with all the 48V mild hybrid gear under there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBfKto1yrX0 no relation to this business, you can see the raised cargo area. I think also fuel tank @ 120L and the joy of adblue 17L are mentioned as drawbacks. All that jelly said, tbh I'd have one with the petrol/hybrid and in 5 seats, they will sell and sell.

I did a 3rd row delete in mine which brought it down considerably, only real difference is 150 has the plastic fill panel behind the seats whereas the 250 has a storage box and id say thats purely because its a longer area. Its probably in the 50mm higher range. I put drawers in mine using factory mounting points. You could option 150 with underfloor spare too which I think looks neater. I also did a 3rd row delete in a friends 150 and put a false floor in to mount an 80l fridge and slide, looked and fitted the same as in the utube clip Last edited by BENT_8; 05-12-2024 at 02:47 PM. |

Not sure what Toyota could of done about it.. They cant really use the V6 Diesel from 300 series, no doubt worried it would steal 300 sales and how far can they push the 2.8? Surely the tune from Hilux GR Sport (165kw/550nm) would of made more sense for it?? Either way, personally I think its a joke they just recycled the old motor and make no secret of that... but hey, they seem to be selling like hot cakes so it shows the sheep don't really care as long as it has that badge and people can do what they want with there own $$$$.
