My first post here!
I saw this video myself after a long time of searching for videos relevant to the 2.8 diesel. This was a great video. What I would love to see though is an on road review. I am sure the power is similar to the previous Prado but would still love to hear what reviewers have to say considering the hybrid and 8 speed box.
I have paid my deposit and I'm waiting for what I presume is the equivalent to the 'Altitude' in New Zealand. Here it will be called the 'Adventure' (seems they got the names mixed up though in my opinion, Aussie doesn't have much altitude compared to our mountains in NZ!). I'm really keen to know more about accessories of the Adventure/Altitude models though when it comes to snorkel, rock sliders, skid plates and roof rack.
My local dealer says they are expecting demonstrator cars late this month or early next month so possibly I won't find out until then.

Looking at the model shown above, Snorkel is gorgeous!

Wow, that looks amazing. Wonder if Toyota will ever sell any of those parts here.

Really nice looking!!
Easy drive too for the Altitude.

Here's the part number for the snorkel, at least the part number in South Africa anyway, not sure if it's the same in other markets.

Hybrid has the inverter where the snorkel exits. Our powertrain isn't sold in Oz or probably South Africa.

Do any of you know if that bumper is sourced from ARB? I don't think I'll add a snorkel, but I am pretty sure I'll be doing the bumper and if there's one that doesn't require a lot of cutting on the OEM stuff, I'd think this might be it...

The bumper does look pretty ARB-ish. Since ARB is an Aussie company and this is a Toyota Australia video, I would think this could be an ARB prototype. Seems to suit the Land Cruiser quite well too painted in the body colour!

Yeah, that's what I thought too... Of course, since my LC/LC is white with black accents, I'm thinking I'll go with a "traditional" black for my bumper, once they hit the market.
