2010 prado info please

[rredbeak]

Daughter just bought her first 4WD,prado 2010 6sp manual 4cyl turbo diesel.Being female and cautious i agreed to ask questions n we'll both learn.

She bought it from a country dealer who both sold it new in his district and again to my daughter 3 weeks ago.so we're pretty sure its never hit any beaches.

Id like to ask please,it HASNT got a 4wd/2wd lever but it has a knob from Hi / lo 4wd.

Can i assume its permanent 4wd ??

Its a 4cyl turbo diesel ,lots of power im surprised by how well it cruises on the highway.

Ive got her booked into a 4wd school classes so she has a better than average chance of reading the terrain.

I need advice on permanent 4wd or how does she get 4wd ??

Hi Robby,

yes your daughters toyota is a constant 4wd and you wont be able to choose a 2wd option like some other models. However, you will have a centre differential locking button (that looks like a car driveline with a little x in the middle of it) that will need to be engaged when tackling more intense offroad obstacles.

Your car owners manual should explain how to use your centre differential button as well has how to use and engage low range.

Im no mechanic or expert on this topic but i currently own a 1999 105 series that is constant and im speaking from experience. :)

Hope this helps.
