Prado VX can I turn off traction control

Dude, with question slike this, I would be joining a club, or doing a professsional offroad driver training course.

Could save you alot of heartache.

I don't believe you can turn off the traction control in the Prado. But for serieous off road the traction control in the Prado works realy well. To make it work you need to be sending power to the wheels, ie you need to be pressing the accelerator not easing off it or on the brake. So the traction control will not engage on downhill runs as you will be on the brake, and it shouldn't be needed. On the uphill tracks it is like autoatic lockers and you will need the center diff engaged. On sand I beleive it may actually hinder progeress as it is brakking the wheel when you need all he momentum you can get.

Hope it helps

I have a TD5 Disco with traction control and centre diff lock. When things get rough lock the centre diff, and always leave the traction control switched on, even in sand. If the traction control slows you down in the sand, it is because your tyre pressures are not right - even with the centre diff unlocked the ETC does very little in the sand.
