 hi nomads

the bride and I are going to join the playground in late feb when new van is ready.

we own 2013 diesel Prado,i have just spoken to the Toyota dealer from were we purchased it from

 and asked about the cooling on the auto transmission, the service dept  told me that the transmission at

worse should not have to be touched until 100000 klms as it is a sealed unit, talking to different travellers

most of the guys say that I should attach extra cooling to the car, Toyota said that if we tow with the correct

weight limits we will not have any problems, as there has been no recent problem with transmission overheating issues?

reading previous blogs the Prado seems to have a problem getting up hills ,has anyone got any good news for me , my model does

have "S" mode 5 speed
