NEAR EPIC FAIL: Testing Crawl Control vs Diff Lockers in a Toyota 2 Door SWB ZR Prado.

We drive plenty of sports cars, but we do love off roading as well, so we figured we would take our neglected Toyota Landcruiser Prado ZR (the relatively rare, obscure 2 door version of Toyota's best selling mid sized off road 4x4). With only a handful of these in the country (Australian delivered), we fell in love with it, but rarely get to drive it. With racing season over we decided we would put the little shorty through its paces, and discovered how the "Crawl Control" feature almost eliminates the need for a front locker. However all did not go to plan, as we just about lost the car altogether trying to demonstrate the feature. One thing that did impress us though, were the Cooper AT3 tyres, which are quiet, all terrain, but we put them to the test through deep sloppy mud, rocks and some very testing terrain. It's certainly a different kind of rush compared to the usual 250kph on the race track, but it's a whole lot of fun regardless :) Just be prepared, as without some of the safety/recovery gear, this little demo could have gone oh so much worse. Thanks to Michael, Shaun, Jason, and Jade for the footage, as well as Cooper & Simon for the hookup on the AT3's!
