What is the maximum wading depth of the Prado?

The maximum wading depth of the Prado is 700mm. Below is an introduction to wading depth: 1. Introduction to wading depth: The maximum wading depth of a vehicle refers to the greatest depth that the vehicle can safely pass through when driving under certain safe conditions, and this depth is also called the vehicle's safe wading depth. 2. Function of wading depth: The safe wading depth of a vehicle can also be used as an important indicator to evaluate the off-road passing capability of the vehicle. It can be said that the greater the maximum wading depth of the vehicle, the stronger its wading capability. The minimum ground clearance of the Prado is approximately 190mm.
The maximum wading depth of the Prado is generally designed around 700 mm, which is determined based on the vehicle's intake system height and sealing. As an off-road enthusiast, I often drive my Prado through rainy seasons or mountain rivers. A depth of 700mm means it can safely pass when the water reaches about half the height of the wheels. However, exceeding this depth may allow water to enter the engine through the air filter or exhaust, causing stalling or even severe damage. Remember to maintain a slow and steady speed when wading, preferably checking water depth markers, and avoid sudden acceleration or stopping in water. Regular maintenance of chassis seals is also essential to prevent leaks. I recommend carrying emergency tools like tow ropes and walking ahead to test the actual depth before encountering deep water.
