1998 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX



Sold with a clean US title (expected in 6-8 weeks). $250 discount if reserved prior to the title arriving.
The 90 series Land Cruiser Prado is quickly becoming a hot seller in the US market, and for good reason. This is the next step in the evolution of Toyota’s legendary Prado line of SUVs. You cannot help but be impressed by the 90’s Toyota build quality. Despite a body-on-frame design making it highly capable off-road, the vehicle was marketed toward on-road use and is a very well-appointed and luxurious driver. This particular example is a customized TX Limited trim model, which features a narrow body conversion, modern paint, a retro front end conversion complete with round headlights, Deans wheels, and some funky interior accents! With just over 100,000 miles on the bulletproof Toyota 2.7 liter 3RZ-FE 4 banger engine, this beauty is just getting broken in. It was imported from Japan in December 2024 and is offered for your consideration.
