What to know about this Toyota Hilux Revo Rocco Smart Cab
The Hilux gets the same 2.8L diesel engine that powers the Fortuner. This motor uses a variable geometry turbocharger and produces 201 BHP (@ 3,400 rpm) and 500 Nm of peak torque starting at a low 1,600 rpm (held till 2,800 rpm).
Toyota has equipped the Hilux with 3 driving modes – Normal, Economy and Power. These can be engaged by pressing the buttons on the center console. This is a superb way of customising the engine / throttle behaviour for prevailing driving conditions.
Normal mode: If neither of the two (Eco or Power) modes is selected, the Hilux’s engine runs in normal mode. This is a balance between economy & power.
Eco mode: Press the ECO button on the center console and the power delivery is lower, with the throttle response dulled a bit. That said, because the engine is big & powerful, ECO mode is very useable in the city. It doesn’t feel sluggish at all and there is more than enough grunt on tap to keep up with traffic. On a lighter note, having ECO mode on a big 2.8 diesel is in itself a contradiction.
Power mode: Engage Power mode and you’ll feel the throttle response to be sharper. The engine is very, very responsive in this driving mode. Acceleration times also noticeably improve.
The Hilux AT doesn’t use a fancy dual-clutch transmission. Instead, a simple old-school torque-converter unit does the job. It has proven to be super reliable too. The Hilux AT isn’t going to wow you with lightning-fast shifts or super smart logic, yet it will take you from point A to B in extreme convenience. The AT doesn’t leave much room for complaint, but it doesn’t give you anything to write home about either.
Press the brake pedal & hit the engine start button to fire her up. The AT’s gear shifter is calm and composed. It remains that way on the move. However, on startup, the car suffers from cabin shake. At idle, the big 2.8L diesel is audible on the outside but shut the door & windows and the noise goes away. Cabin insulation is very good. Outside noise stays outside (note: engine noise is audible at higher revs).
Thanks to the torque converter, the way the vehicle moves from a standstill is smooth & seamless. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, the transmission’s creep makes the Hilux crawl (without accelerator input). You can drive with just your foot on the brake pedal through bottlenecks. Peak torque is developed early @ 1,600 rpm, thus there’s very little lag to speak of in the AT. Even at low rpms, the throttle is responsive. With a light foot in the city, upshifts happen at as low as ~1,500 rpm! This helps you cruise around with smooth shifts & low engine sound. The AT is keen to upshift and will quickly make its way up the ladder – at times, you’ll see upshifts happening as soon as you take your foot off the accelerator (uncool for people like us who like engine braking). This is a big & powerful diesel, hence you don’t need to give it heavy revs within the city. Soft inputs work best for normal commuting. However, press the accelerator halfway in, and shift quality definitely becomes perceptible. While the gearbox is still overall smooth, it’s not an absolutely seamless shifting experience above 2,000 rpm. You’ll know when the shifts are taking place. The engine & gearbox are also very responsive to throttle input. Some owners might feel that they are in fact too responsive! Even in normal mode, the engine revvs with a slight tap on the pedal. This is why you’ll see the 2.8L revving unnecessarily when shifting between the lower gears. Solution? Eco mode.
Because of the dulled throttle response, the driving experience is smoothest in Eco. This is the mode you have to use within the city and – as mentioned before – it’s still quick enough. Power mode for your daily commute? Fellow passengers will find it too jerky as the throttle is damn sharp. Drive around town in ECO mode and the experience is calm.
On the open road, the Hilux AT is a fast pickup truck. The engine remains responsive above 2,500 rpm. Because of its big engine and the power on tap, you’ll never be left wanting for punch. Also, Power mode does bring an enhanced sense of urgency to the engine (although normal & ECO are useable on the highway too). The Hilux AT can be a lively intercity express. In kickdown, upshifts take place in the vicinity of 4,000 rpm. Don’t drive it in a pedal-to-the-metal style though. Rather, you should build up speed gradually, else you’ll get a lot of noise as the engine revvs & the gearbox drops a gear.
The Hilux AT is a very calm long-distance cruiser. Overtaking doesn’t pose a problem at all. There’s ample power and you have a great view of the road ahead. However, the 6-speed has that conventional AT lag (~1 second) between your putting the foot down and the gearbox downshifting. After that, she pulls away nicely. I did face one problem at high speeds here – due to conservative tuning and limited revs, at times if you jump out of the lane and want to overtake, the gearbox drops just one gear when you wish it had dropped two. The downshift logic isn’t aggressive and you’ll need to be patient in such a situation. Thus, on two-lane highways where you need to make quick moves, I’d recommend Power mode. It’ll give you more punch. Another option is to prepare the car for overtaking (via a downshift using the paddle shifters) before the actual move. Overall, the gearbox logic is good. It is smooth, responds well to accelerator input and when driving hard, it knows when to hold on to gears as well.
The Hilux’s S mode is very funny. Actually, it’s not an S mode at all. Remember the D2 / D3 / D4 positions on older ATs which denote the max gear you are allowing it to shift up to? That’s exactly what the Hilux AT does in ‘S’ mode. As an example, move the lever to S and you’ll see S4 on the instrument cluster chosen by default. This doesn’t mean that the current gear is no.4. Rather, that’s the topmost gear that the AT will drive in. It will remain between 1 – 4. You can similarly choose to restrict the AT to 3rd; drive at 4,500 rpm all day long and the box won’t upshift. This is unlike proper ‘S’ modes which move up the shift points and give the gearbox a more aggressive nature. No such thing here, Sport mode doesn’t necessarily result in a lower gear for every situation. The problem is, the layman won’t realise this. He’ll select ‘S’ mode thinking it’s quicker and see 120 km/h at higher revvs in 4th (as S4 is chosen by default). Many people won’t even know what they are supposed to do for easier cruising. Only an enthusiast will manually shift up to S5. This feature is very useful while off-roading.
Those looking for a real ‘sport’ mode can keep the gear lever in D, but select the engine’s Power mode. The real S isn’t on the gear shifter…it’s on the center console!
Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH)
In terms of NVH, at idle, the diesel is audible on the outside but shut the doors & windows and the cabin is sufficiently insulated from that sound. At city rpms (2,000 rpm & under), engine noise is under control. Even above that, the 2.8L emanates more of a ‘hum’ rather than a ‘clatter’. It’s a typical big diesel hum that you won’t see in smaller engines. Over 3,000 rpm, however, the engine does get noisy. And it’s not got a nice note. Take the revv needle to 4,000 rpm and the diesel gets awfully loud. Passengers will ask you to back off.
Mileage & Fuel Economy
Toyota has not stated any official figure for the fuel efficiency of the Hilux. Due to the heavy kerb weight, large engine size & AT, don’t expect FE to be high. Depending on traffic conditions and how happy your right foot is, you can expect anywhere between 7 – 10 km/l (tops) in the city. On the highway, figures should be more respectable, thanks to the 6th gear & low cruising rpms.
Suspension
Ride Comfort
The Toyota Hilux Revo Rocco Smart Cab comes with an independent double wishbone suspension with coil springs at the front and a rigid axle with leaf springs at the rear. Leaf springs are a must for robust load-carrying applications. The Fortuner has a bumpy ride and in the Hilux, it’s even worse. Things are still tolerable at the front, but on the back seat, it has that typical bumpiness experienced in UVs with leaf springs (especially when the loading bay is empty). At city speeds, the ride is jiggly, with even small road irregularities making themselves felt inside the cabin. At higher speeds, the bumpiness increases. On bad patches, the ride can get painful for those sitting in the rear seat. It can get jumpy on bad roads. There is simply no comparison with the ride comfort offered by SUVs like the XUV700. This suspension is built to carry cargo, not passengers. The ride could improve if you add weight to the loading bay. But the extra weight will bring down the performance and efficiency.
On the other hand, the suspension is super quiet and the large tyres allow the vehicle to deal with large potholes easily.
Handling & Dynamics
Straight-line stability at high speeds is solid. Grip levels from those fat 265 mm tyres are adequate too. However, when it comes to cornering, there is a lot of body roll, which is expected from a tall body-on-frame vehicle. What’s more, if one gets ambitious and starts pushing the Hilux hard into corners, it will fishtail like any other pickup (due to the light rear end). Loading up the rear deck will help in keeping the vehicle planted. Drive it like a tall UV (and not a low-slung sedan), understand its limitations and you should be okay.
Steering
The Hilux comes with hydraulic power steering with variable flow control. It is heavy at parking or crawling speeds. This, along with a 6.4 m turning radius and the sheer length of the truck, means manoeuvering the truck in the city or parking in a tight spot will require a good deal of effort; those who are used to modern EPS systems will inevitably complain. Once the speedometer needle climbs, the steering does feel easier to operate. It also offers sufficient weight on the highway.
Braking
The Hilux comes with ventilated discs at the front and drums at the rear. I would have liked to see discs at the rear (considering the price of the vehicle) and the fact that the Fortuner gets discs all-round. While they seemed to have enough power we didn’t get the chance to perform any brake tests from high speeds. The Hilux gets 265 mm tyres which aid overall braking performance. Even then, one must remember that the truck has a gross weight of almost 3 tons and hence, it’s a good idea to maintain a big gap from the car in front. Yes, like most other body-on-frame cars, the Hilux nose dives under braking. ABS, EBD and Brake Assist are a part of standard equipment.
Toyota Hilux Revo Rocco Smart Cab Niggles & Problems
This generation of the Hilux is in its eighth year and Toyota will have ironed out any problems that might have arisen. The engine and transmissions have been around for a long time and have proven extremely durable and reliable. We did not face any problems in our test car and do not expect owners to do so either. However, as is always the case, we strongly recommend extended warranty coverage.
Toyota Hilux Revo Rocco Smart Cab 4×4 & Offroading
The Hilux is an extremely capable vehicle when the road ends. It is equipped with electronic drive control (shift-on-the-fly) four-wheel drive system with 3 electronically switchable modes:
2H – Power is sent only to the rear wheels. This mode should be used for normal on-road driving (street and highway).
4H (high range) – Power is sent to all four wheels. This mode should be used for driving on gravel, sand, mud and other low-traction surfaces.
4L (low range) – 4×4 with multiplied torque. This mode should be used for low-speed driving in extreme offroad conditions.
You can shift between the 2H and 4H modes on the go. Of course, getting in or out of 4L mode is only possible when the vehicle is stationary. The engaged mode is displayed on the MID.
Further, the Hilux also gets an auto limited slip differential, electronic differential lock, hill assist control (up/down) and tyre angle monitor. Coming to the stats, the truck has an approach angle of 29 degrees, a departure angle of 26 degrees and a water-wading depth of 700 mm.
We drove the Hilux inside the Rajaji Tiger Reserve on a track prepared by Offroad Junkies headed by BHPian Tejas@perioimpl. We drove over loose surfaces, some uphill & downhill sections, off-camber obstacles, axle twisters and did some water wading.
Agriculture is adopting technology and machinery to improve efficiency and productivity these days. disc plough for sale is one of the best examples of such a technology. It not only helps farmers in effective soil inversion and cropping but also provides a pool of advantages in terms of eco-friendly farming, weed control, labour cost management, and many more.
However, many farmers are still unaware of the real-time usage of disc ploughs. Those who have some practical awareness about its use, lack knowledge about its adjustment methods to improve functionality. In this blog, we will discuss the real-time use of this plough and its different adjustment methods to enhance productivity.
Disc ploughs are primarily used during tillage activity for soil inversion. It is a crucial process for productive farming by which the soil is prepared for seed sowing and other activities. Using a disc plough farmers can invert tough and earthy soil to make it suitable for planting crops. This process not only aerates the soil but also facilitates the removal of weeds and residues. Therefore, it promotes clean and fertile planting.
Their mechanical design enables them to penetrate tough and compacted soil with ease. It is possible due to the hydraulic mechanism that generates power for high-speed rotating blades. Hence, the construction of disc ploughs ensures durability and reliability that allows them to withstand the rigours of challenging soil conditions.
2. Furrow Creation:
One of the key functions of disc ploughs is the creation of furrows. Furrows are essential for planting seeds or seedlings in organized rows. The mechanical precision of disc ploughs enables them to adjust the depth and width of furrows according to the specific requirements of different crops. By tilting the disc blades at various angles and adjusting the depth control mechanism.
Therefore, farmers can achieve precise furrow dimensions tailored to the needs of their crops. This versatility ensures uniformity in planting depth and spacing. Furthermore, it facilitates optimal seed germination and crop growth.
3. Residue Management:
Disc ploughs contribute significantly to crop residue management by effectively incorporating organic matter into the soil during ploughing operations. The rotating disc blades of the plough cut through crop residues such as stalks, leaves, and other plant debris. It effectively chops them into smaller pieces and uproot the weeds. This mechanical action accelerates the decomposition process, allowing organic materials to break down more quickly and become integrated into the soil.
Hence, the soil structure and fertility are enhanced over time, promoting better water retention, nutrient availability, and overall soil health. Moreover, by burying crop residues, disc ploughs help reduce weed pressure and minimize the risk of disease and pest infestation. It contributes to improved crop yields and agricultural productivity.
Practical Adjustments In disc plough for sale
1. Depth Adjustment:
The depth of a disc plough is crucial for effective soil penetration. It can be adjusted either by altering the angle of the disc blades or utilizing the depth control mechanism. This flexibility allows farmers to adapt to varying soil types and cropping systems. Hence, depth adjustment ensures optimal ploughing depths for improved soil preparation and better productivity.
2. Angle Adjustment:
The angle of the disc blades determines the cutting and turning action of the plough. By adjusting the angle, operators can control the aggressiveness of the cutting action. Increasing the angle results in more aggressive cutting while decreasing it reduces the cutting intensity. It offers versatility in tackling different soil conditions and vegetation densities. Therefore, angle adjustment is critically important during plantation on stony soils.
3. Gang Adjustment:
Advanced disc ploughs often feature multiple gangs of discs that can be adjusted independently. This allows for precise customization of the ploughing operation. It enables farmers to create ridges, furrows, or level surfaces of specific dimensions. Such fine-tuning enhances efficiency and accuracy in soil preparation and furrow creation. Gang adjustments help in power conservation and deep penetration. You can dig deep into the soil using a few blades.
4. Hitch Adjustment disc plough for sale
Proper hitch adjustment ensures the disc plough is correctly aligned and balanced behind the tractor. This optimization not only enhances performance but also minimizes wear and tear on both the plough and the tractor. Therefore, it ensures longevity and reliability in agricultural operations.
Moreover, hitch adjustment can improve the soil inversion process by strengthening disc movement.
5. Blade Maintenance:
Regular maintenance of disc plough blades is essential for sustained performance. Sharpening or replacing dull or damaged blades ensures proper spacing and alignment. You can lubricate moving parts to prevent rust and corrosion. It will help in prolonging the lifespan of the equipment and maintaining optimal efficiency in soil preparation.
Takeaway
In conclusion, understanding both practical use and adjustments about disc plough can result in immense benefits. It can serve higher productivity, reduced crop time, and enhanced crop management. If you have any doubts regarding the adjustments, feel free to contact an experienced plough manufacturer.
The Used Toyota Tacoma 4×4 for sale is a pickup truck produced in the U.S. by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota since 1995. The latest generation has a new exterior profile taking styling cues from the 2014 model year 4Runner SUV and the 2014 model year Tundra pickup and features a much more aggressive and masculine look, with a larger grill and new projector beam headlamps. The tailgate and bed were redesigned and featured a debossed Tacoma logo together with an infused spoiler. New character lines were also recorded on the truck as well as an air dam in front of the vehicle – these new features will likely support in added fuel economy.
Car From Japan mainly sells 2010 – 2017 models of pre owned Toyota Tacoma. Related to money, used Toyota Tacoma trucks for sale by Car From Japan here got greatly reasonable prices ranging from US$30,607 to US$41,191.
Toyota Tacoma: Beauty And The Beast – Both In This Truck
1. Used Toyota Tacoma 4×4 for saleOverview
Toyota Tacoma is a powerful compact pickup truck and an adept off-roader, delivering a bevy of adventuring gear and up to 9.4 inches of ground clearance. On-road driving is satisfying. Inside, the Tacoma’s seats are supportive, with intuitive technology. Additionally, its payload capacity and its predicted reliability rating stand among the highest ranks in the class. Still, some rival trucks can tow heavier and have fancier cabins and better fuel efficiency. Though it’s a compact pickup, the Tacoma is a large vehicle. This larger size may not fit into urban life, but if you have the space and the need for the Tacoma, it’s a great buy.
2. Exterior Magnificence
Redesigned with a more imposing front fascia and a higher hood line than before, the Toyota Tacoma for sale is bolder than last generation, especially in TRD Off Road or TRD Pro guise. The latter is new for 2017 models and combines a 1-inch suspension lift with LED driving lamps, black alloy wheels, and big brand badging across its grille.
From the side, the look is a little more conservative, when compared to the 2015 Tacoma. That’s because these trucks have lost their distinctive (and some might say, polarizing) offset wheel wells with oversized fender flares. Our trucks have been gaining a more proportional and refined look.
At the back, the Tacoma’s got nameplate to be sculpted into the tailgate. A three-piece bumper with resin side covers and long-glass fiber reinforcement offers a somewhat different look in back, helping to save weight and allowing easy replacement in the event of a bump or to off road or on a job site.
3. Interior ComfortsToyota Tacoma
The Toyota Tacoma offers four seats in Access Cab models and five seats in Double Cab models. Its front seats are cozy, and there’s a lot of room up front in both cab styles. The Access Cab model has a couple of rear-hinged doors, and its jump seats are cramped and uncomfortable. The Toyota Tacoma Double Cab offers traditional rear doors, and its rear bench seat is comfier and roomy enough for kids and teens, but long trips will not suit adults there. For a pickup with truly adult-sized rear seats, you’ll want to opt for a full-size truck. The Tacoma’s cabin keep quiet at highway speeds, its interior materials feel sturdy, and the dashboard has a crisp design.
The Tacoma is available with a 6.1-inch touch screen, Bluetooth, a USB port, a rearview camera, a CD player, AM/FM radio, and hands-free iPhone connectivity (Siri Eyes Free). Available features consist of a navigation system and a larger 7-inch screen, satellite radio, a JBL stereo, and an Entune app suite with Pandora, iHeartRadio, Yelp, and more. The infotainment system has plain menus and reacts promptly to inputs. Most of the audio and climate control functions can be accessed using traditional buttons and knobs as well. You don’t have to use the touch screen for everything, making it an easy system to use on the go.
4. Mechanical Excellence
The Toyota Tacoma offers two engine options: a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with 159 horsepower, and a 3.5-liter V6 with 278 horsepower. Rear-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission come as standard; so as four-wheel drive (4WD) coupled with six- and five-speed manual transmissions. The four-cylinder engine delivers a decent job of hustling the Tacoma around town, but it sounds strained under hard acceleration and offers no fuel economy benefit over the brawnier V6. The Tacoma has respectable gas efficiency for a compact truck. The Tacoma’s V6 engine returns an EPA-estimated 19 mpg on urban streets and 24 mpg on the highway. The four-cylinder Tacoma with front-wheel drive gives a comparable 19/23 mpg city/highway (19/22 mpg with 4WD).
With different trim level and options, the Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 pounds or haul up to 1,620 pounds, according to the latest testing methodology by Toyota. That highest tow rating comes with a package of a heavy-duty oil and transmission cooler (with the automatic), a 130-amp alternator (manual models), and Trailer Sway Control.
5. Relentless Performance
The Toyota Tacoma makes impression with responsive steering, strong brakes, and a comfortable ride. Every four-wheel-drive Tacoma has what it takes to venture off-road confidently, thanks to the truck’s skid plates, two-speed transfer case, and 9.4 inches of ground clearance. For extreme off-roading capability, go for the TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro trims. These models add high-performance shock absorbers, a locking rear differential, additional traction control modes (Multi-Terrain Select), and crawl control (a low-speed form of cruise control).
With a new Multi-Terrain Select system, modes for driving conditions from mud to sand to slick rock alter the Tacoma’s throttle and braking to aid traction. Combined with excellent sightlines and outward visibility, it’s a off-road beast in a wide range of conditions.
6. Safety Technology Used Toyota Tacoma 4×4 for sale
As with all new cars and trucks, the Used Toyota Tacoma 4×4 for sale provides dual front- front-side and side curtain airbags, along with knee airbags for the driver and front passengers. Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert can be added. The 2017 Tacoma was rewarded with four-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with a five star rating for the side crash test, and four stars for rollover. The 2016 model had the top score of Good on the moderate front overlap and side impact tests. Toyota Hilux For Sale

The Used Toyota land cruiser prado for sale in Senegal is a full-size four-wheel drive SUV car in the Toyota Land Cruiser series. SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) or sport-ute is an automotive classification, typically a kind of station wagon / estate car with off-road vehicle features like raised ground clearance and ruggedness, and available four-wheel drive. As we all know the manufacturer is the worldwide-famed Toyota, their Prado lineup is smaller than their Land Cruiser range. The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado has been competing on the market from 1984 to present but the series Car From Japan sell here are the fourth generation of Prado lineup, which is based on the Toyota’s J150 platform. In some nations (for example the UK) it is known simply as the Toyota Prado. The fourth generation emerged since 2009 but our used Prado cars for sale are all 2014-2016 versions.
As for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado price, a brand new Used Toyota land cruiser prado for sale in Senegal got a average price of $58,343 for GX models, $35000 for GXL models, $80,075 for VX models and $45000 for Kakadu models, and this may vary based on dealers and markets. However, prices of used Toyota Land Cruiser Prado are only about $32,000 – 34,000 as sold here by Car From Japan.
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado for sale: The SUV Conqueror In Style
1. Overview
The very first impression of this station wagon is the floor that is high up above the ground, creating a great off-road capacity. The Used Toyota land cruiser prado for sale in Senegal was designed to withstand extreme climates and terrains. The Prado also gets the legendary reliability from the privileged name of Toyota, all thanks to Toyota’s famous focus, from solid engineering and excellent build quality to abused wear and tear. The look is stylish and elegant in a gentleman’s style despite its bulky off-roader presence. The Land Cruiser Prado got a cavernous and practical cabin, with plenty of space for passengers and a cargo space of up to 742 litres.
The only obvious disadvantage of this station wagon is the heavy and side-hinged tailgate. This fifth door leaves an annoying feel and takes up more parking space in your garage as well as makes loading or unloading gear difficult on hillsides. Some says the third row seats are difficult for big-sized people to get in and out and be seated.
Depend on the market, spare wheel may be situated under the floor, like in the UK, or mounted on the rear door, like in Australia and Argentina where long trips in isolated areas may require more space for an auxiliary fuel tank. Though there may be both 3-door and 5-door versions, please be noted that Car From Japan sells only 5-door version.
2. Exterior Magnificence
As a whole, the 2013 facelift really did a great job on modern improvement on the magnificent look. Revised styling and contemporary redesign give out an aura of boldness and toughness with 9 distinct classic available themes: crystal pearl, glacier white, silver pearl, graphite, peacock black, eclipse black, ebony, wildfire, dusty brown, which means you will always be riding in style.
The front view features a wide grille that really stands out with five shiny bars embedded on the top of the bumper. This unique design is said to be inspired by the Jame Bond villains’ movie cars, believe it or not but it sounds like an expensive overhaul if something gets damaged. In addition with the new grille, restyled acute-looking headlamps sit higher on the vehicle and are further away from harms in case of off-roading. Toyota Prado VX and Kakadu get LED headlights and daytime running lights, to be more specific.
The side view and rear view do not bear anything striking to the eyes. Contour is muscular, undercarriage is ideally high, 17-18 inch alloy wheels are strong and ready to conquer harsh off-road tracks. The Prado GX and GXL models get 17-inch, six-spoke alloy wheels while VX and Kakadu get 18-inch, 12-spoke alloys. Their tail light clusters have also been revised. The rear window can also be opened so you can put small cargo in without having to open the whole bulky and annoying side-hinged rear gate.
Here are some basic Toyota Prado dimensions, data may vary among models and markets but not significantly:
Wheelbase
2,790 mm (109.8 in)
Length
4,825 mm (190.0 in) (five door, interior spare wheel)4,995 mm (196.7 in) (five door, exterior spare wheel)
Width
1,885 mm (74.2 in)
Height
1,845–1,890 mm (72.6–74.4 in)
Curb weight
2,230–2,455 kg (4,916–5,412 lb)
With such a dimension like this, parking and jockeying for position through cramped streets should be a bit of a trouble to any fresh driver, but any drivers should also need some time to get accustomed to the feel of space behind the steering wheel as well as paying attention to all blind spots.
3. Interior Comforts
Toyota Prado interior fit and finish are made to last for years and withstand all kinds of wear and tear from family use to cargo transport. Behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel, a ton of technology installation can be found and designed so pleased to your eyes, including a tilt and slide sunroof, auto-dim interior mirror, rain-sensing wipers and air-conditioning options.
The infotainment system is amazing with cool dashboard startup, a Blu-Ray compatible rear entertainment system that incorporates a set of three wireless headphone kits and remote control operation, a premium 14-speaker JBL system and DAB+ digital radio. The large 7.0-inch central touchscreen is used for cutting-edge technology like Satellite navigation, Multi-Terrain Monitor, 3-zone climate control. Audio system support Bluetooth streaming and connects quickly and easily. USB port is there for you to directly connect your iPhone or iPad for more music.
Passenger comfort is superb due to lots of headroom and legroom for all seats up to 7. Front chairs are electronically controlled. Maybe entry into the third seats can be tough for big kids but the second rows can be adjusted forward to get in easier. Given most of the seven-seaters need to be erected manually for optimum boot space, this Toyota Land Cruiser Prado has two buttons for you to raise and lower the third row automatically. And then there is a trunk cover as well.
4. Operational Excellence
Two choices of underbonnet engine are the 4-litre petrol V6 with 202kW of power – 381Nm of torque, and the 3-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel with 127kW of power – 410Nm of torque. Toyota Prado 4wd is the same in all models.
There is a reason why it’s the diesel engine that win the hearts of most buyers. The diesel engine offers its peak from a lazy 1600rpm – 2800 less revs than in the petrol. Furthermore, diesel engine is more fuel – economical (8.5l/100km vs 11.5l/100km) and stronger for towing tasks. However the other V6 is smooth and responsive, which is also favored by a lot of driver. Our experts believe that the diesel variant was designed more for off-road capability than on-road smoothness; it’s a load lugger, not a smooth lover.
About transmission details, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado GX and GXL models come with a six-speed manual transmission, a five-speed sequential auto is an option. Prado VX and Kakadu have the automatic transmission as standard. The 5-speed automatic can handle high torque well though, and is very smooth.
5. Performance And Driving Experience
Overall, once getting used to the cumbersome size of the car, one would find it pretty enjoyable to handle the ride, both on-road and off-road, and even towing. The elevated driving position instantly brings a level of manipulation which immediately makes you understand just why SUVs are so popular on-road these days. Traction is excellent though, and the vehicle can response to the steering input instantly, rather than slithering around. When strolling in modern traffic, the Prado is powerful and comfortable enough for daily commute, though sheer size would not blend in well with some crowded narrow streets.
With Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, the function “trailer sway control” helps assist the towing unsettlement caused by crosswinds, sharp change of direction or bumpy roads. Especially in Kakadu versions of Prado, a sophisticated 4WD system is configured to turn on off-road settings for each of these surfaces: rock, mogul, loose rock, mud and sand, and (new for this upgrade) rock and dirt, which also gives more traction control on slippery rocks when ascending hills.
Known as Toyota Safety Sense, a standard package of advanced active safety systems that are included in all Prado automatic models, namely Lane Departure Alert, Active Cruise Control and Pre-Collision Safety system to detect and prevent possible collisions, Automatic High Beam to ensure optimum nighttime visibility.
Four-camera system provides a handy birds eye view around the car when venturing off the beaten path, and the car can wade through water with a 700mm depth.
Finally, huge load of off-road driving assistance in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is sure to attract any driver. Active Traction Control, and Hill-start Assist Control can prevent the car from rolling backwards when starting on a hill. There is a Multi-Terrain Monitor with four selectable topography modes. CRAWL control does the job of maintaining consistent low speeds to allow the driver full attention while steering through tricky terrain. Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) adjusts the front and rear stabiliser bars based on the movement of hydraulic cylinders.
Conclusion
These are some summarized key points on the car:
Pros:
On-road smoothness and off-road toughness
New off-road technological items

Bulky size can make it difficult to park

Once the car is shipped, maintain communication with the shipping company to track the progress of the shipment and be aware of any updates or required actions on your part.
10. Receive the Car at Destination
Upon arrival, the car will need to go through customs clearance in the destination country. Be prepared to provide all necessary documentation and pay any applicable duties or taxes.
By following these steps, you can effectively manage the export of a car from Dubai, ensuring compliance with all regulations and a smooth transition to its new destination.
how much does it cost to import a car from dubai to usa
The cost of importing a car from Europe to the USA can vary widely depending on several factors. Here’s a breakdown of the potential costs involved:
1. Shipping Costs
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) Shipping: This is generally the cheaper option. Prices can range from approximately $1,000 to $3,000 USD depending on the size and type of the vehicle.
Container Shipping: This method is more secure and can be more expensive, typically ranging from $2,000 to $4,000 USD. Costs can increase if you choose to ship your vehicle in a sole-use container rather than sharing.
2. Insurance and Freight (CIF)
The CIF cost includes the cost of the car, insurance during transport, and freight charges. It’s crucial as import duties and taxes are calculated based on this amount.
3. Import Duties and Taxes
Import Duty: The U.S. charges a duty of 2.5% for cars and 25% for trucks. The duty is calculated based on the CIF value.
Other Taxes: Depending on the state where you register the car, you may also need to pay local sales tax.
4. Compliance Modifications
If the car does not meet U.S. emissions and safety standards, you’ll need to make modifications. The cost can vary greatly depending on what needs to be changed, ranging from a few hundred to thousands of dollars. Used Toyota dealership USA
5. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) Compliance
EPA Compliance: Ensuring the car meets EPA regulations might involve testing and modifications. Costs can range from minimal to significant, depending on the vehicle.
DOT Compliance: Similar to EPA compliance, ensuring the vehicle meets DOT standards might require physical modifications. Used Toyota dealership USA

Conformity by a Registered Importer (RI): If the car does not conform to U.S. standards, a DOT-registered importer can modify the vehicle.
State Regulations: Beyond federal regulations, some states have additional requirements, especially for registration and insurance.
It’s recommended to consult with a compliance expert or a registered importer who specializes in importing foreign vehicles to ensure all requirements are met efficiently. Used Toyota dealership USA
Shipping Car from Europe to USA
Shipping a car from Dubai to the USA involves several steps, from choosing the right shipping method to handling customs and import regulations. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you understand the process:
Choose a Shipping Method: There are two main methods for shipping cars internationally: Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) and container shipping. RoRo is generally more cost-effective and is suitable if you are only shipping the car. Container shipping provides more protection and is advisable if you are also shipping personal belongings. Used Toyota dealership USA
Select a Reliable Shipping Company: Choose a company experienced in international car shipping and specifically with routes from Europe to the USA. It’s important to verify their credibility, insurance policies, and customer reviews. Used Toyota dealership USA
Prepare Your Car for Shipping: Clean your car thoroughly as it will be inspected by customs. Remove all personal items and ensure only a quarter tank of gas is left. Document any existing damages with photos.
Documentation and Export Clearance: You’ll need to provide documents such as your passport, proof of ownership, and car registration. Your shipping company might also require additional documents to comply with both Europe and USA regulations.
Shipping and Insurance: Consider purchasing additional insurance coverage for your car during transit. Standard shipping insurance might only cover basic damages.
Customs and Import Regulations in the USA: Upon arrival, your car will need to clear US customs. You’ll need to provide the Bill of Lading, foreign registration, and proof of ownership. The car will be subject to import duties, which are typically 2.5% of the vehicle’s value.
EPA and DOT Compliance: Ensure the car meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. Non-compliance may require modifications or working with a Registered Importer (RI) to make necessary changes.
Picking Up the Car: Once your car clears customs and any applicable modifications are made, you can pick up your car or arrange for domestic transportation to your location within the USA.
Registration and Insurance in the USA: After your car is legally in the country and compliant with all regulations, you’ll need to register it in your state and obtain the necessary insurance.
Each step involves careful planning and adherence to regulations. It’s highly recommended to work closely with your shipping company and a customs broker to ensure a smooth process. toyota hilux for sale Used Toyota dealership USA Toyota Hiace for sale in Haiti

Toyota has been exporting vehicles to the African market for decades; the most popular cars sold are the 2023 toyota rav4 for sale, Corolla, Hi-Lux, Land Cruiser, and Hi-Ace. Toyota’s strategy to date has been to export used vehicles from its European production companies, which have been traded in for a new car, and sell them through dealers in various African countries.
This vehicle trade is often in the form of a system with the European affiliates of Toyota and its African dealers, trading new vehicles for used vehicles to be sold in Africa. This strategy has been successful in vehicle sales. Still, with the recent increase in Toyota’s production in Europe and the company’s strong focus on quality and brand-new vehicle sales, Toyota is looking at alternative methods to enter the African markets more logically.
Toyota Motor Corporation is a multinational corporation headquartered in Japan and is currently the world’s largest automaker. In 2002, Toyota began its quest to become the leader in global automobile sales and produced 8.5 million vehicles annually. It moved to a more cohesive organization structure across the continent to mirror this growth in Europe.
In 2003, Toyota sold its five millionth vehicle in Europe and began producing its first European-built model, the Corolla. Currently, the company has manufacturing companies in the United Kingdom, Turkey, France, Poland, Portugal, Russia, and the Czech Republic. With nine manufacturing companies and an extensive marketing and sales network, Toyota employs around 80,000 people in Europe. In 2005, Toyota sold 1.22 million vehicles in Europe, 4.8% more than the previous year.
With such a large base of operations and booming sales in Europe, Toyota is now in a position to concentrate on expanding into the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Russia, and countries associated with the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Increased globalization has resulted in the dramatic rise of the automotive industry. Companies continuously compete to develop and market cars, S.U.V.s, trucks, and expensive high-performance vehicles. In this vast industry, many companies are viewing the African markets as potentially very lucrative.
The prices of vehicles in some African countries are very high because of heavy taxation, making owning a car a status symbol of wealth.
Benefits of Exporting Toyota Cars to Africa
The company will benefit from exporting Toyota cars to Africa for several reasons. The first is greater demand for Toyota cars in Africa than supply. Africa is a vast continent with a growing population and a deep need for motorization, especially in the Sub-Saharan region. And the evidence shows that there is substantial demand for Toyota cars.
For example, when U.M.W. Toyota Motor, the assembler of Toyota cars in Malaysia, began exporting its cars to South Africa last year, it aimed to ship 2,000 units but sold 5,000.
The second example is 2023 toyota rav4 for sale Zambia, whose manager noted that orders for Toyota vehicles comprise a wait of several months, demonstrating the strength of demand.
The significance of this high demand is that it will take too long for local production to satisfy it. That means Toyota cars from abroad are needed to fill the gap, and our company can do this.
The second benefit is the competitive pricing of the African auto market. The prices of Toyota cars can be flexibly adjusted for greater or lesser cost, depending on the market’s economic conditions and the inflow of products. The financial situation of Africa is generally unstable, with many of its countries experiencing declining GDP levels. However, in the long term, the economic conditions are expected to improve, and there is a solid determination to keep trying to satisfy those improved financial conditions for each African nation.
As mentioned, motorization is a deep need for Africa, and our company sees it as a chance to contribute to the motorization of an entire continent, beginning from the present and reaching into the future. This makes it highly likely that a market for Toyota cars will always exist in Africa. And because secondhand vehicle imports are under solid regulation due to environmental conservation and road safety concerns, the new vehicle market is expected to be the main arena of competition for the next 10 or 20 years, with new vehicles representing a long-term investment. All this translates to a stable long-term demand and a solid chance to seize the market. Our company, by grasping the demand mentioned in ordinary.
Increased Demand for Toyota Cars in Africa
Taking the case of CFAO Kenya Limited, where the importation of Toyota and Yamaha vehicles has had a significant favorable impact, the demand for Toyota cars in the African market has shown an increase in the number of units sold each year, with a remarkable 1700 units more from 2005 to 2006. This increase in demand is mainly due to large projects such as the Konza city project, which will grow businesses and institutions, hence creating a market for company vehicles. Also, consumer preferences have made a significant impact. For example, Kenyans prefer vehicles with an engine capacity 1800cc for saloon cars and 2700cc for off-road vehicles.
The Toyota brand is well known for durability and efficiency, with most models meeting this specification, hence a shift from alternative vehicle selections. Civil servants have also been an influential group in Toyota vehicle purchases. With the increase in demand, the availability of more models has a higher potential of increasing sales.
Step up the Toyota brand range to propose vehicles. As of 2007, the purchase of spare parts and vehicle components is exempt from customs duty. Hence, producing vehicles in SKD form is more viable than importing a fully built unit. With the increase in demand for vehicle purchases and the efficiency of the cost of vehicle production, this may be a viable project for future Toyota business in Kenya.
Competitive Pricing in the African Market
The next step to systematically evaluate exports to each country would be to use the theory of price discrimination. The aim would be to compare the expected proceeds using different feasible pricing policies and calculate the effect of tariff or quota imposition by a second country on the sales volume in the third country.
After evaluating the approach of exporting pallets of different models of Toyota motor vehicles, from totally liberated to wholly sheltered plus agreed, we can confidently say that it is nothing more than a shift of the placement of the marginal analysis curve to the left, at least to maintain the local sales volume of the same models while continuously exporting a few units.
When analyzing Toyota, we were able to conclude that although the excess production cost for Corollas was around $400 compared to the transportation from Japan, the decrease in production cost by $431 per unit of Land Cruisers and no refund of intra-provincial duties and tariffs, along with the increasing domestic sales and aggressive market tone of customers in Singapore’s car market, throughout our attempt to enter the export of Singapore-built automobiles, had a higher probability of profitability compared to the experiences in the trailing case study. Therefore, we could evaluate and proceed with our export of Land Cruisers.
Potential for Expansion and Growth
This means that Toyota may see an increase in vehicle sales continuing through 2025. There has been a significant increase in secondhand vehicle imports to Africa, where the average age of a vehicle is 8-9 years. This shows that the vehicle market in Africa is large and has the potential for growth and replacement with many new cars.
A potential free trade area in East Africa by 2012 should also increase growth and demand for Toyota vehicles in the region.
This is due to an increase in levels of competition, where Japanese imported cars will no longer have a price advantage due to high import duties on other vehicles. This will lead to a substantial increase in Toyota’s market share as the leading non-African brand.
Exporting Toyota cars has the potential to significantly expand and grow the Toyota market in Africa. Kenya is the largest car market in East Africa, with approximately 250,000 vehicles on the road. Kenya also has the best-developed credit finance system in East Africa, which should help stimulate vehicle sales. It has been quoted by the GM of Toyota East Africa that “for every twenty vehicles on the roads in Africa, we may expect them to purchase two Toyota vehicles.
If this statement holds for Kenya, it would allow for massive growth in the market share of Toyota about today, where only one of every fifty vehicles in Kenya is a Toyota. Because Tanzania has a vehicle market three times the size of Kenya, Toyota should expect similar growth and expansion, if not more. With the economies of both these countries showing promising signs, there is evidence to suggest that this growth will be maintainable over the next ten to fifteen years. toyota rav4 for sale near me
Challenges and Considerations
This gives us the impression that goods sent via sea freight to many ports in Africa (especially the less developed ones) are not guaranteed to reach their destination. Much of the shipping industry in these target regions is a lottery.
This is a concern, and seeking a higher reliability standard may result in Toyota choosing to ship specific products by air if it is an economically viable option.
A similar incident occurred with a recent attempt to ship a car from Durban to Mombasa for the Safari Rally. The car was never seen again, and the shipping agents in South Africa and Kenya could not provide concrete information about what had happened. Air freight was considered an alternative resolution in both instances, but the significantly high costs rendered the idea implausible.
A well-documented example is the ongoing struggle faced by award-winning New Zealand documentary maker and journalist Greg Miller.
While shooting an investigative documentary in Africa, Miller attempted to ship research and footage materials across various destinations from the South African port of Durban. Numerous tapes and other relevant filming materials never arrived at their destinations, and all attempts to track and recover the items were in vain.
The shipping industry in Dubai is one of the most varied and competitive in the world. With so many nationalities residing and working in the country, targeting an industry or market sector on a personal level is relatively easy. This makes breaking into new shipping markets in developing African nations especially difficult.
Logistics and Shipping Challenges
The challenges and considerations will be different depending on the countries that import using Dubai as a connecting port.
While some countries may face difficulties in shipping, others may not have the proper importing regulations. This section will examine the challenges primarily faced when exporting to the East and South Africa regions. toyota rav4 for sale near me
Logistics and Shipping Challenges
The next challenge is to decide which African port to ship to. The location of the port will undoubtedly affect the cost of shipping and transit time, but this must be balanced with finding a destination that will not present security risks to the vehicles.
Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to use a more expensive shipping method to a safer location. An example of this would be shipping to Mombasa in Kenya rather than Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
The first challenge is to identify a reliable and cost-effective shipping service. There are many shipping companies operating out of Dubai, and the sheer number of choices available can be overwhelming. Furthermore, care must be taken to differentiate between shipping Ro-Ro (Roll-on-roll-off) and shipping in a container.
Although Ro-Ro shipping is usually cheaper, the risk of damage or theft to the vehicles is significantly higher.
Container shipping is more secure but can also be substantially more expensive. It is common practice to bring cars to Africa using the Ro-Ro method, but in some of the more politically unstable regions, this may not be the best idea.
The decision to source vehicles from Dubai was made due to its strategic location relative to the African continent, as well as its reputation as a critical trans-shipment hub.
The geographical proximity of Dubai to Africa means that shipping is the most viable mode of transport. Despite this, there are a number of challenges that need to be addressed.
Import Regulations and Customs Procedures
Before attempting to export to your chosen market, it’s imperative to know the precise regulations and rules surrounding importation. Not knowing the targeted market’s import regulations has been the downfall of many exporters. toyota rav4 for sale near me
Luckily, the information age has made this process substantially more accessible than before with the advent of online databases and customs consulting. Gaining the most current and accurate information about your prospective export market’s import regulations can’t be stressed enough. With the likely chance that new businesses will purchase on a strictly limited budget, the last thing they want would be to have a product held up in customs clearance because they have failed to adhere to regulations. This can incur fees far beyond the cost of simply conforming to import rules and, in the most severe of circumstances, can lead to impounded products.
In researching your chosen market’s import regulations, you will find a number of people and institutions from which you can seek information. The consular office or embassy in your home or targeted country is an excellent place to start, followed by the numerous information resources offered by governments and private institutions online.
Also, not a bad option would be to consult a customs broker in the target country, although this will obviously incur added costs.
Market Research and Targeting the Right African Countries
Toyota will need to initiate the process of screening countries to exclude the less desirable markets. Screening will involve a preliminary search to determine key indicators that measure market attractiveness. toyota rav4 for sale near me
Once the desirable countries are pinpointed, Toyota can begin an initial ranking of the countries to get an idea of the potential long-run market attractiveness and select target countries. At this stage, Toyota will be looking at a general market assessment since it will focus on specific segments only in the later stages.
In Africa, a land with a vast diversity of cultures and a linguistic divide, one size cannot fit all. There are fifty-plus nations in Africa, which means fifty different sets of governmental policies, standards, and regulations.
Languages, religious affiliations, population density, GDP, and economic growth rates all serve to complicate Toyota’s task of selecting target countries. Africa is composed of two primary regional clusters: upper Africa with North African nations and sub-Saharan Africa.
Toyota announced increased interest in exporting cars from Dubai, so car exports will likely target the ports on the eastern coast of Africa. Certain North African nations will also become targets due to legal factors involving preferred trading options. Toyota will need to utilize thorough research in order to determine which countries will best fit its product and company. toyota rav4 for sale near me
This will require the utilization of a large amount of resources and personnel to gather and process information.
After-sales Service and Support
In support of this, there is a possibility for a joint venture to be established between Toyota and a major corporation in Africa to assemble vehicles in the newly developing country.
An established motor vehicle assembly plant can contribute significantly to an economy by creating job opportunities and enhancing technology and skills.
This method has been successfully implemented in all areas of the globe by Toyota and might be a consideration in the distant future when Toyota vehicles become more established in a particular African nation.
This idea of service is not only crucial for vehicle maintenance but must also be made a transferable skill to the local African mechanics to aid them in developing skills and long-term improvement in their own respective countries.
Duration and ease of parts availability will also be taken into account, as Toyota will aim to still stock a wide variety of parts and ensure they are readily available.
Toyota will be more involved in the process of servicing the vehicles, offering training to local mechanics for work such as servicing brakes and doing engine tune-ups. This will be done to a higher level of servicing where major work could occur.
The goal for Toyota is to still maintain the vehicles’ long-lasting ability for durability, but should something go wrong, they want to ensure that the service provided does the vehicle justice.
After-sales service is definitely a catchphrase used in business-to-business relationships. For Toyota, the concept is just as important in trying to export vehicles to Africa.
Conclusion Toyota Rav4 for sale near me
The main issue with CKD is setting up new assembly lines for vehicles in African locations and if the cost and tariff rate comparisons are similar to the cost of producing automobiles in Dubai. Taking duty rates and taxes into effect, if the price is higher, it would be wise not to continue with the assembly lines and just continue with CBU.
However, if there are minimal cost differences and the assembly line in Dubai has already overworked itself to its potential, it would be good to expand the company and market and begin production in select locations in Africa.
This would seem to be the best move, and it would significantly decrease inventory costs due to customer needs and make widespread products available instantly. It may even be possible to hire more skilled laborers for toyota rav4 for sale near me with possible new job promotions and offers to relocate them to Africa. This would significantly increase the quality of work and give reassurance to these employees on job stability.
Helping Toyota as a whole and the people transported to these locations in positive spirits help the public by pushing community auto mechanic training programs and specialty tooling loans to increase areas of local auto repair.
At the current market situation in Africa, the prospects of the automobile industry have shown that it is growing. Hence, it would be a prospective market for the launch of a new CBU. Looking at the best transport mode, based on the long term and the short term, the best transport modes would be container vessels and RORO vessels.
The key is to work with customer needs and first discuss with an agent as to what types of automobiles would be best to export at what time. Then, toyota rav4 for sale near me can decide from the long term to the short term to switch off the kinds of autos to export. And again, as the company progresses and volume increases, switching to CKD becomes essential.
The main point of looking at all the aspects and understanding the various strategies and problem-solving methods that go into exporting Toyota cars to Africa from Dubai is to see if this move would be financially beneficial.
