Whether you are off the track or on the track when everything is under control, Prado has a constant four wheel drive system that each of its wheel work with great intelligence so that it can know when its losing traction and allows the other wheels to take over.

KDDS is a highly advanced system that features front and rear stabilizer bars that reduces the roll and tilt at tight corners, as mentioned earlier but even reduces the minor bumps and inconsistencies for a smooth drive on the road. But KDSS is a great wonder when you are off – road. On off – roads it adds shine by giving you an increased wheel articulation that keeps you stable when it gets really bumpy and uneven, so you can venture almost anywhere very comfortably and fulfill your dreams.
