Chronology
PredecessorToyota Land Cruiser II/Bundera

The Toyota Land Cruiser light-duty line, most commonly marketed as the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (Japanese: トヨタ・ランドクルーザープラド, Hepburn: Toyota Rando-Kurūzā Purado) is a full-size four-wheel drive vehicle in the Land Cruiser range produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota. The Land Cruiser Prado is referred to as a "light-duty" variation in the Land Cruiser range. "Prado" means meadow or field in Spanish and Portuguese.

The Land Cruiser Prado may also be referred to as Land Cruiser LC70, LC90, LC120, LC150 and LC250 depending on the platform. In some markets, it is known simply as the Toyota Prado or the Toyota Land Cruiser.

Up until the J150 model, the Land Cruiser Prado was not part of the Land Cruiser range in North America; the rebadged Lexus GX occupied the Prado's position in luxury trim. The Prado was then introduced there in 2023 and marketed simply as the "Land Cruiser".

The Land Cruiser Prado has a ladder frame chassis, two-speed transfer boxes and a rear beam axle. The J70 platform has a front beam axle, while the J90, J120, J150 and J250 platforms have front independent suspension.

As of 2025, the Land Cruiser Prado is available in most markets served by Toyota. Exceptions include Mexico, India, South Korea and some Southeast Asian and South American markets (where the less expensive Hilux-based Fortuner/SW4 is offered instead).

First developed as a light-duty version of the 70 Series in November 1984. Referred to as the Land Cruiser II, Land Cruiser, or Bundera depending on the market it was sold in. They were available only in short body layouts with options for soft top, metal top, or FRP top. The Land Cruiser II uses a coil sprung suspension setup (opposed to the leaf sprung setup in the heavy-duty J70) and lighter-duty axles similar to those found in the 4Runner and Hilux. The Bundera was a short wheelbase—being 2,310 mm (90.9 in)—with two doors, a plastic top, and barn doors at the rear. There were four options for the engine, the 2.4 L (2,366 cc) 22R (carbureted) and 22R-E (EFI) petrol engines and the 2.4 L (2,446 cc) 2L and 2L-T diesel and turbocharged diesel engines. The transmission for the petrol engines is the G52 type while the diesels used the R150 and R151 types. These were the same engines and transmissions used in the 4Runner, in cooperation with Hino.

In April 1990, a new type, the Prado, was introduced, still largely based on the heavy-duty J70 with a redesigned front grille, front wings, engine bonnet, head lamps, and coil sprung suspension carried over from the previous generation Land Cruiser II. Despite being called Prado in Japan, the names Land Cruiser and Land Cruiser II were still used in other parts of the world. While the Prado used a body-on-frame design making it highly capable off-road, the vehicle was nonetheless marketed toward on-road users, unlike core J70 range. The rather underpowered RJ77 (four doors with the 22R carbureted engine) was only available in some Middle Eastern countries.

In Japan, it came with a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. The only engine installed in home market cars was the 2.4 L turbocharged "EFI" 2L-TE diesel engine with 71 kW (97 PS; 95 hp) and 240 N⋅m (177 lb⋅ft). The lineup included 2-door and 4-door versions, available in SX, LX or EX (4-door only) grades of trim.

The coil spring suspension was carried over from the previous generation Land Cruiser II to improve handling and comfort. The absorber stages could be switched electronically with a button inside. The 22R petrol engine was upgraded to the 22R-E (electronic fuel injection) engine, the diesel engines were replaced by the 2.8 L (2,776 cc) 3L engine, and the 2.4 L (2,446 cc) 2L-T turbocharged diesel engine was replaced by the electronically injected 2L-TE turbocharged diesel engine. In 1993, the 2L-TE turbocharged diesel engine was replaced by the 3.0 L (2,982 cc) 1KZ-TE turbocharged diesel engine with aluminium cylinder head. The 1KZ-TE was able to reduce NOx and soot. The dashboard was replaced with an updated design with minor changes to suspension, brakes and trim details.

The second-generation Prado was released on 8 May 1996 and sold in Japan through Toyota and Toyota Vista dealerships. Unlike the J70-based first generation, the J90 was an independent series, and Toyota describes the model change as the point at which the Prado was directed towards a more passenger-oriented four-wheel drive vehicle. Production took place at the company's Honsha and Tahara plants.

Two body styles were offered: a three-door short wheelbase five-seater and a five-door long wheelbase eight-seater. Both were larger than their predecessors and fell into the Japanese "3-number" registration class. Toyota differentiated them visually through the front-end and headlamp treatment, giving the short-bodied car a sportier appearance and the long-bodied car a more rugged one.

The drivetrain changed from part-time to full-time four-wheel drive, and the suspension was shared with the Hilux Surf, using independent double wishbones with coil springs at the front and a four-link coil-sprung live axle with a lateral rod at the rear. In Japan, three-door grades were designated with an initial R, ranging from RZ, RX and RS to RJ, while five-door grades used an initial T, from TZ, TX and TS to TJ. ABS and a Field Monitor showing an altimeter, a thermometer and pressure were fitted.[citation needed]

Representative Japanese-market specifications at launch were as follows.

Engines

At launch, the range comprised a newly introduced 3.4-litre 5VZ-FE V6 DOHC petrol engine producing 136 kW (185 PS; 182 hp), and the 3.0-litre 1KZ-TE four-cylinder SOHC turbo-diesel carried over from the previous generation, whose output was raised to 103 kW (140 PS; 138 hp) by the addition of an intercooler. A 2.7-litre 3RZ-FE four-cylinder DOHC petrol engine producing 110 kW (150 PS; 148 hp) was added in April 1997. Other diesel engine includes the 2.8-litre 3L and 3.0-litre 5L engine, and both diesel engine belongs to Toyota L-series engine.

In July 2000, the 3.0-litre 1KZ-TE turbo-diesel engine was replaced by the newly developed 3.0-litre 1KD-FTV, a common rail direct-injection unit marketed as D-4D. Toyota attributed its performance to four-valve cylinder heads, a newly developed common-rail injection system and an intercooled variable-nozzle turbocharger with continuously controlled boost pressure, together with a combustion process designated UNIBUS which the company credited with reducing both fuel consumption and the vibration and noise characteristic of diesel engines. All manual-transmission models, and automatics with a kerb weight of 2,020 kg (4,453 lb) or more, met Japan's 2005 diesel fuel economy standards ahead of their introduction, and an immobiliser was adopted at the same time. The engine produced 125 kW (170 PS; 168 hp) at 3,400 rpm and 352 N⋅m (260 lb⋅ft) between 1,800 and 3,400 rpm.

1999 revisions

The J90 received a minor change on 9 June 1999. Both body styles adopted large multi-reflector headlamps, and the front and rear combination lamps were given clear lenses. The front grille, front bumper, door trim and combination meter were redesigned, and new exterior and interior colours were introduced. An Optitron instrument cluster was newly offered and the Field Monitor was revised to a colour display. Toyota also introduced "Active TRC", a traction mechanism intended to improve progress on loose and muddy surfaces, and offered vehicle stability control on principal automatic grades from August 1999.

A special edition designated "TX Limited" was launched simultaneously, based on the five-door eight-seat TX and adding a roof rail, wood-grain trim, an armrest rear console box and an Optitron meter. Toyota set a monthly sales target of 3,000 units for the revised range. Overall length of five-door models increased to 4,690 mm (184.6 in).

Special-equipment variants

Crawler

On 22 October 1999 Toyota announced a Land Cruiser Prado Crawler, sold from 1 November 1999 as a factory special-equipment vehicle under the company's TECS (Toyota Excellent Conversion Series) programme, alongside an equivalent Hilux Surf Crawler. The Crawler replaced all four road wheels with triangular rubber-belted crawler units, and was intended for passenger transport and haulage in snowbound areas.

Because the conversion substituted the wheels without altering the vehicle's basic control layout, Toyota stated that the Crawler could be driven on an ordinary Japanese driving licence, unlike tracked snow vehicles, which were classified as special vehicles requiring a specific licence. The crawler units could be removed and road wheels refitted outside the snow season. Changes to the base vehicle included dedicated front and rear bumpers, enlarged over-fenders, protectors and stoppers, and a switch to correct the speedometer reading between crawler and wheel configurations.

The Crawler was based on the 3.4-litre 5VZ-FE petrol TZ grade, carried the TECS model code GF-VZJ95W-VRPGCR, and was bodied by Araco. Fitting the crawler units raised kerb weight from 1,980 kg (4,365 lb) to 2,420 kg (5,335 lb) and ground clearance from 230 mm (9.1 in) to 330 mm (13.0 in). At launch it was priced at ¥5,240,000 excluding consumption tax.

Active Vacation

A camper conversion marketed as "Active Vacation" was offered as a special-equipment vehicle registered in Japan's 8-number category, and received the same revisions as the base vehicle at the June 1999 minor change.

Markets

South American

Colombia

The Prado was made a launch in Colombia in 1999. It was assembled by Sofasa until 2009 without significant changes. There were two versions, a 3-door version with a 2.7 L engine and a 5-door version with a 3.4 L V6 engine and either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.[citation needed] Between 2005 and 2009, they offered an optional armoured version of the 5-door Prado.[citation needed]

Southeast Asia

Malaysia

In Malaysia, the Prado was launched in 1996. Initially imported by Japan, it offers all grades, alongside a diesel engine. It was later assembled by UMW Toyota in Shah Alam, Selangor. It offered the GX grade, 2.7 L petrol engine and 5-speed manual transmission.

Philippines

The Prado was launched in the Philippines. It was the first ever Prado to be sold in the country.

Europe

United Kingdom

The Prado was launched in the UK in 1996 as the Land Cruiser Colorado. It replaced the 4Runner and previous generation Land Cruiser II, which had been discontinued from sale. It was called this to distinguish it from the larger Land Cruiser (sold as the Land Cruiser Amazon nameplate) which was already on sale. The Colorado was configured with both three- and five door, and offered 3.0 L turbodiesel and 3.4 L V6 petrol engine. The Colorado name tag was dropped in 2003, when it was renamed simply as Land Cruiser. In the Republic of Ireland, most Land Cruisers were sold as commercial vehicles with the rear side windows blanked and the rear seats removed for tax reasons.[citation needed]

Appearing in 2002, the third generation Prado has revised front suspension to improve reliability. Development began in 1997 and design work in 1998, with the proposal originating from Lance Scott of the Toyota ED2 design studio in France in late 1999.

Engines include the 2.7 L (2,693 cc) straight-4 3RZ-FE, 3.4 L (3,378 cc) V-6 5VZ-FE and 3.0 L (2,982 cc) straight-4 turbocharged diesel 1KZ-TE. In countries like China, a newly developed engine (1GR-FE V6) is available. The engine immobilizer became standard equipment in some markets.

In August 2004, the 3RZ-FE engine was replaced by the 2.7 L (2,694 cc) 2TR-FE engine and in July of the same year, the 5VZ-FE engine was replaced by the 4.0 L (3,955 cc) V6 1GR-FE engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission available in late 2005.

North America never received the Prado nameplate but it was sold as the Lexus GX 470 with the 4.7 L (4,663 cc) V8 2UZ-FE engine and full time four wheel drive.

Diesel models have had the 1KZ-TE turbocharged diesel engine with maximum output rating at 96 kW (131 PS; 129 hp) as well as the 5L-E natural aspirated diesel engine rated at 70 kW (95 PS; 94 hp). In November 2006, Toyota introduced the 1KD-FTV turbocharged diesel D-4D engine to meet Euro IV emission standards. This engine delivers 127 kW (173 PS; 170 hp) of power and 410 N⋅m (302 lbf⋅ft) of torque. The upgrade to the D-4D engine was also matched with transmission upgrades to the diesel range, with the 5-speed automatic and 6-speed manual transmissions added in line with the petrol powered range. From August 2007 the Prado received several equipment and safety upgrades. The car has won 3 awards for the best performance from an SUV-type vehicle in Australia and the US.

The 120-series Land Cruiser Prado shares the same suspension parts as the Hilux Surf/4Runner and FJ Cruiser from the same years.

There is a shorter three-door version referred to as the J125. Engines and most features are the same; just the 1KZ-TE was only available in the five-door version. The three-door model features only two seat rows. The fuel tank is limited to 87 L, with no sub-fuel-tank system available.

In 2007 on Japanese models only, G-BOOK, a subscription telematics service, was offered as an option.

The Japanese market Prado consisted of 6 trim levels known as RX, RZ, TX, TX Limited, TZ and TZ 'G Selection'. The highest specification model known as TZ 'G Selection' consisted of features like front driver and passenger heated seats, heated exterior mirrors, adjustable air suspension, hill start assist control downhill assist control, central differential lock and sometimes engine auto heating.

The fourth generation has been available in some markets since October 2009. There are two base variants, five-door and three-door. The five-door variant in the general market is offered in TXL & VXL grades – which are much more option-packed. This generation of Prado features advanced 4WD and an array of electronic gadgets. This generation of the Prado is offered in the US badged as the 2010 model year Lexus GX 460 with luxury trim.

Depending on the market, the fourth generation is available with an under-floor mounted or rear door mounted spare wheel. For example, UK vehicles have the spare wheel mounted under the floor, while in Argentina the spare wheel is mounted on the rear door, leaving space for an auxiliary fuel tank, which is desirable in countries where long journeys in isolated areas may be required. Australia offered both options. The fuel capacity of the dual tank series four is 150 L (33.0 imp gal; 39.6 US gal) (87 L [19.1 imp gal; 23.0 US gal] in the main tank, 63 L [13.9 imp gal; 16.6 US gal] in the auxiliary tank) compared to 179 L (39.4 imp gal; 47.3 US gal) of the series three.

The removable third-row three-seaters of the J120 were replaced by fold-into-floor seats which seat only two people – which is also responsible for a loss of cargo capacity, the reduction in dual fuel capacity and usable height in the cargo compartment.

In some markets a 3-door, short wheelbase variant referred to as the J155 was also offered. This could be equipped with most of the same features the 5-door came with.

On the higher end Kakadu and three-door ZR models, there are six camera positions enabling viewing to the front and down, to the side both front and rear, and to the rear. The engine remained the same, although the automatic gear change points were altered for maximum fuel economy rather than maximum performance, even in Sports mode.

In June 2015, Toyota improved the petrol engine with dual VVT-i, increasing the power output by 5 kW (7 PS; 7 hp) to 207 kW (281 PS; 278 hp) and the torque to 381 N⋅m (281 lb⋅ft). The diesel engine was replaced with the smaller 1GD-FTV. Both engines were upgraded to the 6-speed Aisin AC60F automatic transmission.

The second facelift was launched in Japan, Europe, Turkey and Australasia on 12 September 2017.

Japan

In Japan, the 1GR-FE engine and TZ trim was available from September 2009 until June 2015. The 3-door Prado for the Japanese market was discontinued.

The first facelift was launched in Japan on 10 September 2013. LED headlights are available in TZ and TZ-G grades, and a 5-seater has been added to the TZ L Package grade.

From June 2015 onward, The V6 4.0-litre 1GR-FE engine, was discontinued in Japan, and diesel engines are back on offer in Japan since the previous generation, the J120. The following engines and trim levels available are:

Engine Trim
2.7 L 2TR-FE 120 kW (163 PS; 161 hp), 246 N⋅m (181 lb⋅ft) TX L Package

2.8 L 1GD-FTV (2020-) 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp), 500 N⋅m (369 lbf⋅ft) TZ-G
TX L Package

A minor refresh was announced in September 2017. LED headlights and Toyota Safety Sense now is standard for all models. The 7 seats variant for TX grade and 5 seats variant for TX L Package was added.

The monthly sales target for Japan is 1,000 units.

Australia

The fourth generation Prado was released in Australia on 16 November 2009. Five-door models include the GX, GXL, VX and the high-end Kakadu. The Altitude model, introduced in 2012, is priced between the GXL and VX. The Prado Altitude has satellite navigation, two-way moon roof, leather accented trim and 7" Fujitsu-Ten touch-screen/multimedia centre. Three-door shorter wheelbase models include the SX and ZR.

A facelift went on sale in October 2013, with more standard equipment, new front panels and new headlights. Higher specification models received LED headlights and suspension improvements. The three door Prado was dropped at this time due to poor sales.

Unlike in Japan, Toyota Australia retained the 4.0L V6 engine until 2017 when the second facelift was launched. All GXL models received a seven-inch sat-nav as standard.[citation needed]

In August 2014, a new tailgate without the spare tyre became available as an option for the first time in Australia.

In June 2015, the venerable KD 3.0-litre turbo-diesel 4 cylinder which had been available in various markets from 2000, was replaced by the 2.8-litre GD turbo-diesel 4 cylinder. This engine provided better emission standards while increasing power and torque to 130 kW (174 hp) and 450 N⋅m (332 lbf⋅ft) respectively.[citation needed]

Since the August 2020 update, all Prado models are offered with an automatic transmission only. They are also only available with the GD 2.8-litre turbo diesel 4 cylinder engine, albeit with increased power (150 kW, 201 hp) and torque (500 N⋅m, 369 lbf⋅ft).[citation needed] Models are now also available with a 9-inch infotainment screen incorporating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Europe

In the United Kingdom, the J150 Prado is designated as the Land Cruiser LC3, LC4 and LC5, depending on the equipment levels. In some markets, commercial van variants, based on the short-wheelbase chassis are available.

China

The 4.0-litre 1GR-FE V6 was standard paired to a five-speed automatic gearbox. On 24 September 2015, the fourth generation mid-life facelift received a new 3.5-litre V6, the 7GR-FKS to replace the previous 4.0-litre V6. While the engine capacity is lower when compared to the 4.0-litre, the power output remains the same at 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp) and 365 N⋅m (269 lb⋅ft) of torque. It uses less fuel and it is the only country in the world to offer the Prado with 3.5-litre V6 (model GRJ152L) to the consumer alongside the 2.7-litre inline-four petrol (model TRJ152L). Meanwhile, the 2.7-litre engine version (model TRJ152L), introduced in October 2013, got a revised 2TR-FE engine with dual VVT-i, and the four-speed automatic was replaced with the previous six-speed Aisin AC60F; the 3.5-litre V6 version also got the new transmission. The Prado was discontinued in June 2020 due to it has not suited China's regulations on fuel consumption and emission.

Chronology
PredecessorToyota Land Cruiser (J200) (North America)

The J250 series Land Cruiser Prado was revealed on 2 August 2023. It is marketed as the Land Cruiser 250 in Japan and simply the Land Cruiser in North America and some European countries. Some other markets such as Australia, China, Philippines, and other European countries retain the Land Cruiser Prado nameplate. The design and engineering direction had shifted compared to the previous generation, now focusing on "practicality, durability and dependability" with the basic approach outlined by previous Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda. It results in a retro-inspired, boxy exterior styling inspired by the J60 model from the 1980s.

The vehicle is based on the body-on-frame GA-F platform shared with the larger J300 series Land Cruiser. It is claimed to have a 50 per cent increase in frame rigidity, and a 30 per cent increase in overall rigidity. The model is also the first "Light Duty Series" Land Cruiser to use an electric power steering (EPS) system, which promises easier steering wheel handling during off-road conditions, improving maneuverability at low speed, and allows the lane tracing assist system to be implemented. The maximum approach and departure angle is 31.0 degrees and 22.0 degrees respectively, while breakover angle reaches 25 degrees. Ground clearance is rated at 221 mm (8.7 in).

All models are equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system with Torsen limited-slip centre differential and manual locking. An electronic two-speed transfer case with high/low range is also standard. Normal power distribution in straightline driving is 40/60 front-to-rear. An electronic locking rear differential is standard, which is able to split power 50/50 to the rear wheels for improved traction control on rough terrain.

The Chinese market Land Cruiser Prado was previewed in November 2023 at the Guangzhou Auto Show.

North America

United States

In North America, the J250 series Land Cruiser replaces the J200 series Land Cruiser (which was discontinued in 2021, but replaced in other markets by the J300 Land Cruiser) as the model carrying the Land Cruiser nameplate in North America. Unlike the previous J200 model, the J250 model is physically smaller and features a more boxy and utilitarian design, with a lower starting price compared to the J200. While the J200 is a full-size three-row SUV, the J250 model is a mid-size SUV with two-row seating for this market.

The range includes three trim levels consisting of the base Land Cruiser 1958, mid-level Land Cruiser model, and the Land Cruiser First Edition limited to 5,000 units during the first year of production. The 1958 has round headlights, extended unpainted plastic body panels, and cloth seats. The Land Cruiser has rectangular headlights and painted body panels, heated and ventilated front seats, an available console cool box, a 2,400-watt inverter, colour-selectable fog lights by RIGID, wider tyres, and a locking rear differential and stabilizer disconnect mechanism. The First Edition adds a roof rack, rock rails and a front skid plate, while keeping the 1958's round headlights.

The only engine option available is a hybrid powertrain (marketed as "i-Force Max"), featuring a turbocharged 2.4-litre T24A-FTS four-cylinder petrol engine. Towing capacity is rated at 6,000 lb (2,722 kg).
