Just taken delivery.
Can't see much difference to the 2010 one I just traded except for the 12v power outlet in the back, as well as the 220v one. Thank you Mr Toyota.

Your 2010 model should have had the power outlets?

[thrasherdave Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close thrasherdave]

No, just the 220 on the RHS

There's a 12v power outlet in the rear now? Pics?

You traded a 2010 Prado for a 2012 ? That's kinda pointless, unless someone else was paying for it or you got the other engine.

But ..... has it got BIG mud flaps? .. )

Missed that - what bigger engine? (

Maybe not a bigger engine, but changing fuel types

If you work for Toyota, you can get into a new Prado every year, sell it after 12 months and never have to dip into your pockets due to the Toyota employee discount being greater than depreciation on typical drive away pricing.

Leaves me wondering, just what is the employee discount?

Interesting idea... we should all get jobs with Toyota. I'm off to tidy up my resume a bit .

LFaR.

Whats different in the last pic?

Mud flaps were introduced in July build vehicles, mine came from factory with them.
That socket is interesting though... Doesn't look factory? is it wired directly to battery? As a constant 12v source or is it only useful with ignition on.
I also not sure whats different in that last pic?

My 2011 has all that except the 12V in the back. There is one in the rear of centre console. The Marine is a bit of a giveaway that it isn't standard kit as normally the Toyota ones have 12V 120W MAX written on them as the entire outlet circuit is protected by the same 10A fuse...
