Clearview Towing Mirrors for the Toyota Prado 120 Series
Toyota Prado 120 Series Overview
The Toyota Prado 120 Series is a durable and versatile SUV, built to handle both everyday driving and off-road adventures with comfort and confidence. Released in Australia in early 2003, the Prado 120 quickly became a popular choice among touring enthusiasts, families, and 4WD owners thanks to its strong reliability, towing capability, and practical design.
The Toyota Prado 120 was available with either a powerful 4.0-litre V6 petrol engine or a dependable 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine, paired with both manual and automatic transmission options. Buyers could choose from a range of trim levels including GX, GXL, VX, and Grande, with seating configurations available in 5, 7, or 8 seats to suit different lifestyles and travel needs.
Known for its off-road performance, spacious interior, and long-distance touring comfort, the Prado 120 remains a favourite within the Australian 4WD community.

Get Your Toyota Prado 120 Ready for Towing
Towing a caravan, trailer, boat, or horse float with your Toyota Prado 120 Series opens the door to adventure, touring, and dependable towing capability. Before setting off on your next trip, it’s important to ensure your Prado is properly equipped to handle the added weight safely and confidently. Towing places extra demand on your vehicle’s handling, braking, and visibility, making the right towing setup essential for improved safety and control on the road.
Here’s how to prepare your Toyota Prado 120 Series for a safer and more balanced towing experience.
Improve Visibility with Clearview Towing Mirrors
Safe towing starts with clear visibility. Standard factory mirrors can become restrictive when towing anything wider than your Prado, limiting your view of surrounding traffic and increasing blind spots. That’s where Clearview Towing Mirrors make a noticeable difference.
Specifically designed to suit the Toyota Prado 120 Series, Clearview Mirrors extend outward to deliver a significantly wider field of view, helping improve visibility when towing caravans, trailers, boats, and other large loads. The enhanced visibility assists with safer lane changes, reversing, parking, and overall towing confidence.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with your vehicle, Clearview Mirrors retain the factory features Prado owners rely on while providing the extra practicality needed for towing.
Factory-Style Design with Everyday Practicality
Clearview Towing Mirrors are engineered to complement the rugged styling of the Toyota Prado 120 Series, delivering a clean factory-style appearance that looks right at home on your 4WD.
When not towing, the mirrors retract inward to sit close to the vehicle body, maintaining a sleek and practical look for everyday driving. Their functional design allows Prado owners to enjoy enhanced towing visibility without compromising on style, convenience, or day-to-day usability.
Next Gen
Our Next Gen and its twin mirror design is suitable for towing anything from the smallest of trailers to the largest of vans.
The Next Gen’s dual mirror design provides the best of both worlds; a large flat top mirror helps with reversing into parking spaces or aligning a hitch with a trailer, and the smaller convex mirror provides a better understanding of what’s happening around the vehicle.
Compact
Our Compact Towing Mirrors are just like a factory Mirror, with the additional advantage of the extra visibility that our towing mirror extension provides.
A large convex single mirror reduces the objects that it reflects, allowing the driver to have a much wider field view and diminishing blind spots.
Build the Ultimate Towing Setup for Your Toyota Prado 120 Series
Equipping your Toyota Prado 120 Series with towing mirrors is an important first step, but a safe and capable towing setup involves much more. Whether you’re towing a caravan, boat, trailer, or camping equipment, the right upgrades can improve stability, handling, safety, and overall towing performance.
Heavy-Duty Towbar – A quality towbar is essential for safe towing. Make sure your Prado 120 Series is fitted with a towbar rated to suit your towing requirements and vehicle capacity. A properly installed heavy-duty towbar helps maintain stability, reduce trailer sway, and provide greater confidence when towing on highways, corrugated roads, or uneven terrain.
Electric Brake Controller – When towing heavier caravans or trailers, an electric brake controller is a must-have. Mounted inside the cabin, the controller activates your trailer brakes in sync with your Prado’s braking system, helping deliver smoother braking performance and improved control during sudden stopping situations.
Anderson Plug – An Anderson plug provides a reliable high-current power connection between your Toyota Prado 120 Series and your caravan or trailer. This allows you to keep caravan batteries charged and appliances such as fridges running while travelling, making it an essential touring upgrade for long-distance adventures.
UHF Radio – A UHF radio improves communication while travelling, especially on remote tracks and touring routes. Stay updated on road conditions, communicate with other travellers, or assist with reversing into campsites, caravan parks, or tight spaces.
Suspension Upgrades – Towing heavy loads can place added strain on the rear suspension of your Prado 120 Series, affecting ride height, steering, and handling. Upgraded suspension, heavy-duty springs, or airbag assistance systems can help level the vehicle, improve ride comfort, and restore better control while towing.
Understand Your Payload and Weight Limits
When preparing your Toyota Prado 120 Series for touring or towing, it’s important to understand how accessories and cargo impact your available payload capacity. Accessories such as bull bars, roof racks, rear bars, drawer systems, recovery gear, fridges, and long-range fuel tanks all contribute to your vehicle’s total weight.
Your payload includes passengers, luggage, fuel, accessories, and tow ball download weight. Exceeding your Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) or axle weight limits can negatively affect vehicle safety, handling, braking performance, and legal compliance.
If your setup exceeds the factory carrying capacity, a professionally engineered GVM upgrade may be required. These upgrades generally include heavy-duty suspension components designed to legally increase the vehicle’s load-carrying capability.
Prepare Your Prado 120 Series for Safer Towing
Building a reliable towing setup starts with the essentials. Clearview Towing Mirrors, a quality towbar, and an electric brake controller provide the foundation for safer towing and improved visibility.
Before adding touring or off-road accessories, weigh your vehicle to understand your remaining payload capacity and towing limits. Setting up your Toyota Prado 120 Series correctly from the beginning helps create a safer, more balanced, and more enjoyable towing experience for every adventure.

Do I need Towing Mirrors for my Toyota Prado 120 Series?
If you tow a trailer, caravan, boat, or horse float, towing mirrors are not only safer—they’re often a legal requirement. Australian road rules specify that if your load extends beyond your standard mirrors, you must fit mirrors that allow you to see clearly along the sides of your vehicle. Clearview Mirrors provide better side visibility, reduce blind spots, and make lane changes, reversing, and cornering much safer. Even occasional towing can benefit from this essential upgrade.
