The weight of different Prado models ranges between 2050kg and 2130kg. Weight of different models: Prado 4.0L GX (AT) body weight 2080kg; Prado 4.0L GX Luxury Edition body weight 2080kg; Prado 4.0L GX Luxury DVD Edition body weight 2080kg; Prado 4.0L GX Sport DVD Edition body weight 2050kg; Prado 4.0L VX (AT) body weight 2130kg; Prado 4.0L VX NAVI Edition body weight 2130kg. Toyota Prado: Toyota's Prado is a quite good urban SUV, which has been produced in China. When it first came to China, its name was "Ba Dao" (meaning "Overbearing"). However, at the end of 2003, due to the content of its advertisements greatly hurting the self-esteem of the Chinese people, the car name was also not recognized by the public, so during that period, "Ba Dao" kept a very low profile.
Buddy, I've been thinking about the Toyota Prado for a while, and its weight is indeed quite noteworthy. Generally speaking, the curb weight fluctuates around 2200 kg, depending on the model year and configuration. For example, the base model might be slightly lighter, while the high-end version with four-wheel drive or larger wheels can approach 2400 kg. With this kind of weight, it feels very stable when driving, not shaky when taking corners, but you need to be extra careful when parking—small spaces won't fit. In terms of fuel consumption, a heavier car definitely burns more gas, especially in city driving, costing a few extra cents per kilometer. But if you frequently go on long trips or off-road adventures, this weight becomes an advantage—solid chassis, less bumpy on rough roads. During maintenance, I also noticed the tires wear out faster, so regular tire pressure checks are a must. Overall, it's a practical companion, but lightweight drivers might not find it suitable for everyone.
