Does the Prado Have a Body-on-Frame Structure?
1 Answers
The Prado adopts a body-on-frame structure. As a mid-to-large-sized SUV under Toyota, it is essentially an off-road vehicle. Most rugged off-road vehicles utilize a body-on-frame design to enhance body rigidity. This design allows the vehicle to handle more challenging and complex road conditions. Below is an introduction to the Prado: Power: The new Prado is equipped with a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine, codenamed 7GR-FKS. This engine delivers a maximum power of 206 kW and a maximum torque of 365 Nm. It reaches peak torque at 4,500 rpm and peak power at 6,000 rpm. The engine features VVT-i technology and hybrid injection technology. Engine with Hybrid Injection Technology: This technology allows the engine to select different fuel injection methods under varying operating conditions, thereby improving both power and efficiency. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). Suspension: The Prado's front suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a four-link non-independent suspension. The rear suspension is essentially a solid axle suspension, known for its simple structure and durability. This setup enables the vehicle to tackle more demanding and rugged terrains.
