Is the Toyota Prado a four-wheel drive?
2 Answers
Toyota Prado is a four-wheel drive vehicle, featuring a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout with part-time four-wheel drive. Taking the 2019 Toyota Prado as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4840mm, width 1885mm, height 1890mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm and a fuel tank capacity of 87 liters. The 2019 Toyota Prado is equipped with a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a four-link non-independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 3.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 280PS, a maximum power of 206kW, and a maximum torque of 365Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving off-road vehicles for many years, and the Toyota Prado is my ride. It indeed comes with a four-wheel drive system, which gives it an edge on all kinds of terrains. Whether it's rugged mountain roads or muddy sections, you just need to switch to low-range four-wheel drive mode, and the wheel traction becomes incredibly strong, making it easy to climb hills or get out of tough spots. I once drove through a heavy rainstorm when regular two-wheel-drive cars were slipping all over the place, but the Prado stayed rock-solid, all thanks to its all-wheel drive. For regular maintenance, pay attention to fluids like differential oil—changing it every 50,000 kilometers can extend the system's lifespan. When heading out for adventures, it also has an electronic control system that automatically adjusts power distribution, reducing the need for driver intervention. Driving in the wild, that sense of confidence is truly unmatched. I recommend owners try out different road conditions to experience the practicality of four-wheel drive.
