The Comfortable Middle Ground

The Comfort is Adventure 4WD Hire's Toyota Prado 150 — the vehicle for travellers who want to reach the same remarkable places as a hard-core off-roader, but with a smoother, more relaxed drive getting there.

The Prado has long been a favourite of Australian touring families precisely because it splits the difference so well: it's a real 4WD with the clearance and low-range gearing for gravel and creek crossings, yet it rides and drives like a comfortable wagon on the long sealed stretches between the good stuff.

What's On Board

  • Rooftop tent — quick to deploy, off the ground and away from the dust, sleeping two.
  • Awning — shade and weather cover over the camp kitchen and living area.
  • Swags — flexible extra sleeping for a warm outback night under the stars.
  • Full camp kit — the cooking, fridge and camp gear you need to be self-sufficient at a bush camp.
  • Diesel automatic 4WD — easy to drive, economical over long distances, and controllable on gravel and sand.

Where the Comfort Shines

The Prado-based Comfort is at its best touring the Top End and the north-west's headline destinations — the trips where you want capability and comfort in equal measure:

  • Kakadu & Litchfield from Darwin — waterfalls, plunge pools, rock art and 4WD-only access tracks in the dry season.
  • The Gibb River Road — the Kimberley's iconic gravel route, with gorges and station stays along the way. Our Western Australia 4WD hire guide covers the planning.
  • The wider Top End — see our Northern Territory 4WD hire guide for routes, seasons and permits.

⚠️ Season matters up north. The Top End's 4WD tracks are a dry-season affair (roughly May–October). In the wet, many roads and park access tracks close with flooding — always check current conditions before you commit to a route.

Comfort or Premium Explorer?

If your trip is touring the big-name national parks with a comfortable drive between them, the Comfort (Prado) is the sweet spot. If you're heading into the longest, most remote country — Cape York, the deep Kimberley, the Simpson — where fuel range and total self-sufficiency decide the trip, step up to the Premium Explorer (Hilux). Still weighing it up? The full Adventure 4WD Hire review lays out all three vehicles side by side.
