Same here re- the Prado. Overall comfort (I have the Adventure model with all the options) is extremely high. Although calling it adventure and installing spoilers to make it a mall crawler doesn’t really make sense. I only once ever needed the Center diff lock. Normally 4H is enough, and the way power is distributed is more than adequate for rides. I removed the spoilers (hence the Dalmatian look) and installed a 10mm bash plate. But still split the front bumper taking a small dip a bit too fast. Overall could not be happier with my Prado. Luxury during the week and off road fun on the weekend. If you want to join me on one of the desert rides to see how it handles you are more than welcome.

Thank you for a great day @Chaitanya D and the trust to have me in 2nd spot.
I think all of us newbies learned a lot and really experienced how the desert fights back! It was a simply stunning setting - I think we must have taken 100 pictures if not more.
@Gaurav and @Rizwanm2 thank you for all the guidance and help and the tow!
I am looking forward to my next visit to Liwa, yellow truck or not!- 4

Hello @Chaitanya D
My plans changed so am able to join your ride tomorrow. Am looking forward to it!
I understand (and have paid the fuel bills) my Prado has a 150-litre fuel capacity, comprising two tanks (an 87-litre main and a 63-litre auxiliary). That should be sufficient right?
Cheers,
Patrick- 1

Thanks again @Foxtrot Oscarand @JeepieFor a great ride. For a relative newcomer to dubai it is amazing to see how different the dune ‘scapes’ are from one area to another. And what a wonderful sunset spot!

Thank you so much @Lorenzo Candelpergherfor a great ride. Aside from being great fun it really felt safe with no unnecessary risks at any time. For a first timer I felt super excited and motivated to keep going. This ride proves I joined the right club. I am just not sure why I dreamt about gravity all night
Thank you also to @Looper for the help and especially @Melenany for the help with my flag problems and general advice. Super day out!

The adventure is basically the previous VXR (I believe that is what it was called) luxury model model year '22 with some extra trim, black wheels, spoilers etc. I picked it because of the the luxury items like the split climate control, sunroofs, bluetooth apple carplay, ventilated leather seats etc. - I wanted the luxury during the week and for longer road trips ...
