How is Prado 2.7 as an offroader?

[SINGH]

yeah white looks best.May I ask why did you opt for the one with rear door with out spare wheel? I think the one with the spare wheel on the rear door looks much better.
also im opting for the mid option which comes with the alloys and cruise control.I heard that the white one in mid option comes with the white coloured side steps, is it so?
I dont think if it has the rear corner sensors.

That wasn't my Prado! Mine has the wheel at the back as well!

I don't know what the latest options are these days, but it seems that all the new 2008 ones have the white side steps.

Cruise Control is good...specially if you do a lot of long drives.

Only the full options VX (cruise, leather, sunroof, parking sensors) comes without the wheel.
Basically, no rear door mounted wheel = respect.

rather be respectless then

previously I was going to take my 2.7 prado GX from Dynatrade's supplier of brand new cars.who asked me if I wanted the Prado GX with the spare wheel on the rear door or floor mounted.Maybe here at futtaim that option is not available.But I don't like the look of the rear without the wheel on the gate.Also if the rear wheel is door mounted than you get Dual petrol tank of 180 liters which is very good as you don't need to go to the petrol station so frequently.

I was talking about Al-Futtaim. It differs from place to place, you are right about the GX, I've seen a few without the wheel.

The US models have the wheels mounted below as well!

SINGH, what's the latest price for the 4.0 VX at Dynatrade? What's the delta between them and Al-Futtaim?

The US doesn't get the Prado
They do get the GX470 though.

First of all, they are mainly into re- export from Oman, the guy from Dynatrade said 99.9 % of the new cars they deal in are sold else where.
When I wanted 2.7 ltr GX full option, I was getting it from them for 126,000 including insurance, which other wise would be 135,000 with Insurance from Futtaim.so i could have saved dhms 9000.But in VX they only have full option with sunroof etc.that was costing I think 156 + Insurance.
He said Mid Option is for 138 which is normally is 142 in Futtaim, but I dont understand why he gave the price of this one when he can't arrange for us.

So now we are buying VX Mid option from Futtaim.

Yepp! I emailed that before my morning Coffee!
It was Saudi I meant...the guy I knew was American but he bought it in Saudi and brought it here. Yeah, I know big difference.

I am looking for a good GPS , with big size screen and good pic quality with all the important required features.I kniow Garmin is probably the best but don't know which particular model is good.
Also need to know your comments about the usage of it...is it good t have it especially when travelling out of Dubai to places like Al Ain, Fujairah etc.

Or is it waste of money for a city like dubai.
