Much better!
Been off-road in a TX (2.7) and it was quite good, though it was lacking power (expected from a 4 cyl, nevertheless smooth ride)

TNT! How is the clearance on offroading? I hear the 2010 has lower ground clearance than old ones. Also that body is a bit longer/wider.

Do you know if the LC crawl is standard on Prados as well??
I heard there is a camera option that looks for pitfalls while offroading. Did you try it out? Any good?

I was in the 2.7, which is quite basic.
The top trim does come with crawl control and various cameras. Ground clearance worse? It looks better to me, although the feel seems similar on the dunes.

Is the 2.7 engine still 4 cylinder and same bhp as the old Prado?

Same engine, no 4.0 for SWB Prado. LWB has a choice of both.

oh, you drove the 3-door 2.7? The 5-door is probably a bit more sluggish in the desert.

I read it had lower clearance, that made little sense to me. Toyota was not to make the Pathfinder mistake for this market!
