I went to Moreeb Challange in one of these :oops: (4 cylinders SWB Prado) .... on road it was horible (max speed we were able to reach was 150kmh only :roll:


Going up dunes will be very challenging and in some cases impossible however , I think you may manage going up the realy small once.

But, if you are intending to go around the dunes ......... well, you may survive that and come back home safely :lol:

The 4 cylinder version of Prado lacks power , adding the weight of the car + passengers ......

It is a fun :roll:

The V6 version is another story
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

We have the 2003 2.7L...and as they mentioned It LACKS power..for the speed I did manage to get the 170KM/H put it on 3 untill the RPM fills then go back to D.
as for sand switch to 4wheel drive and use only L and 2 it'll get you to where you want but not the way that you want what I mean Is around the dune not straight ahead..
It's not important where you go it's important that you go across not around -Skulls's Jeep-
