The Prado's height and width are obvious in Nairobi parking, narrow estate roads and shopping-centre ramps. A good test includes visibility over the bonnet, the turning space required at home and access to the third row. The two grades should be compared by actual wheel, differential, camera and interior equipment rather than by the Adventure name alone. The Land Cruiser Prado should be driven through a normal weekday rather than judged from a quiet dealership loop. Check visibility, access, parking, climate control, storage and the exact safety equipment fitted to the quoted suv. A short route should include the awkward turn, speed hump, ramp or loading point that normally exposes a vehicle's weak point. If it cannot be tested at the dealership, ask for a second drive or make the question part of the purchase record.
