just gained a lot more respect for my '07 Sport V6
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?
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.

Great video. It has been post on here before if you want to read more discussion.
