Why thats diesel?

Camera helped make that look steeper that it was. Theoretical max incline is 45* (based on statics)

A gas engine would do the same thing. It is a 43 degree incline, which is a nice hill. The cool thing about it is how easily it climbed. I'll bet crawl control was used.

Did Prado of that year/generation have crawl control?? I thought that CC is a new invention by Toyota and first seen on the Land Cruiser in 2009?
 
Koz - we're looking forward to some action shots of your GX navigating this hill ;-)

0:12 - 0:18 and 0:46 - 0:52 ATRAC in action. You can see the left front wheel as it lifts off the ground "stutter" its movement as the truck climbs. I think a lot of the traction issues were relative to tire pressure that was a little too high.

Search Koos se Klip for more vids. funny how the different camera angles change the perception of how steep it is... but it still has major pucker factor!

I thought this vehicle was a 2010 but I'm not familiar with the Prado models. I only suggested the CC because of the way it seemed to maintain its speed so evenly/controlled. The thing that sticks in my mind is there are no do-overs. If there were any problems it would have been catastrophic.

Steady foot on gas and low-range. In other words, a good driver.
