Higher grades bring leather-accented trim, multi-way power front seats, ventilated fronts and heated outer rears plus a cool box. Three-zone climate keeps all rows sorted. A tilt-slide moonroof appears on top grades. It feels solid and practical rather than plush.
2.8-litre diesel returns about 8.0 L/100 km combined on automatic models.

Five-star ANCAP rating from 2011 testing that carries over.
Standard kit includes seven airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, VSC, TRC, TSC, HAC and DAC.
Toyota Safety Sense with pre-collision (pedestrian detection), lane departure alert, auto high beam and adaptive cruise on automatic grades.
The 2.8-litre turbo-diesel is the main engine in most markets and delivers strong low-end torque for towing and off-road work while keeping fuel use reasonable for a large body-on-frame SUV. Petrol options exist in some regions and use more fuel. Dual fuel tanks on many versions give long range between fills.
Servicing follows a regular schedule of oil and filter changes plus inspections. Intervals are typically every 10,000 km or annually, with some markets listing six-monthly checks for severe use. Coolant lasts a long time before first change. The vehicle is built for durability so it holds up well with proper care.
Safety centres on a strong body structure and seven airbags as standard. Automatic models add Toyota Safety Sense covering pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, automatic high beam and adaptive cruise. Higher grades bring blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and parking sensors. The five-star ANCAP result from earlier testing still applies.
