G'day all,
A question for Prado owners ...
Is it true that you can only engage low range after stopping and selecting park, in this year model? If I stop, foot on the brake, select neutral, it is impossible to select low range without the gears grinding, yet if I'm in park and select low range, it selects smoothly with no grinding. In the manual it states that low range can be selected when in neutral, and that's the way it worked on my 03 model. I've never heard of this before on the Prados.
Has anyone had this same experience with the 09 model? Is the service guy correct, or is he pulling my chain and I need to explain the meaning of life to him.
Regards,
Bazza.

Hi Not sure on prado's , but my mates Pathfinder is the same, we were halfway up a
hill and he went to select low range and no go, but after putting it in park with the handbrake on to
check it out , it went straight in ??
No mention of this in his handbook,
maybe the same with the Prado,
Cheers Des.
