Has anybody driven the 6 speed Prado ?? Is it like driving a sedan ?? or are the ratio's to close. The dealer told us that it has two over drives and to overtake you must go back to forth gear .
He stated it was like the 5 speed but worse! I know my 5 speed changes around all the bloody time, as soon as it encounters a hill or heavy throttle basically.
I drove my genIII commodore yesterday on cruise and noted how it never changed gears on the hills as it has more torque!

I've got the 6 spd man behind the V6 and must admit i do most of my overtaking in forth .. it brings the revs up to punchy area and the response is very satisfying, evan towing.. its a 4th gear pull.. as for the two overdrives id agree as well
5th is usually my hyway gear and six for long flat freeways .. i find if you use 5th or 6th it needs more throtlle to maintain the same speed, but if i sellect 4th dont use any more throttle and the vechile accelerates nicely hence less fuel consumption.. i like it
