Finished in classic blue over gray cloth and showing just 15,838 documented original miles, this 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado KZJ78 EX represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own one of the cleanest and most original 70-Series Prados in North America. Powered by Toyota’s legendary 1KZ-TE 3.0-liter turbodiesel paired with an automatic transmission and full-time 4WD, this right-hand-drive Japanese-market SUV combines old-school Land Cruiser durability with surprising comfort and refinement. 

Offered with fresh timing belt service, ice-cold A/C, electric locking hubs, and exceptionally preserved paint and interior condition, this ultra-low-mile Prado is the kind of time-capsule example collectors and overland enthusiasts spend years searching for.
  • 70-Series Sophistication: While the heavy-duty 70-Series Land Cruiser is best known for its utilitarian roots, the Prado variant was designed to offer a more comfortable, family-friendly interpretation without sacrificing the rugged DNA that made the platform famous worldwide. The KZJ78 combined coil-spring suspension, a more refined cabin, and turbodiesel efficiency into a package that quickly became a favorite among global expedition travelers and enthusiasts alike. 
  • Legendary 1KZ-TE Power: Under the hood sits Toyota’s proven 3.0-liter 1KZ-TE turbodiesel inline-four, an engine celebrated for its durability, low-end torque, and long-haul dependability. Paired with an automatic transmission and dual-range 4WD system with electric locking front hubs, this Prado reportedly runs exceptionally well with a healthy, quiet engine, strong power delivery, and a fresh timing belt service already completed for the next owner’s peace of mind. 
  • Remarkably Original Exterior: Finished in highly preserved factory blue paint, this KZJ78 presents more like a carefully stored collector vehicle than a 30-year-old SUV. The body, trim, glass, and undercarriage reportedly remain in outstanding original condition, while the factory ride height, fresh dampers, and proper coil-spring suspension front and rear help preserve the authentic driving experience Toyota intended. 
  • Period-Correct Interior Preservation: Inside, the gray cloth cabin appears exceptionally well-kept with minimal visible wear, reinforcing the truck’s documented low-mile status. Factory amenities including air conditioning, switchgear, trim, and 4WD controls are all said to function properly, creating a cabin that feels far more preserved than nearly any comparable Prado currently available on the market. 
  • Collector-Grade Provenance: Showing fewer than 16,000 original miles, this Prado stands apart from the vast majority of imported 70-Series examples, many of which have seen extensive use, modifications, or restoration work. With its documented mileage, original presentation, right-hand-drive configuration, and increasingly desirable KZJ78 platform, this example offers a compelling mix of collectibility, usability, and long-term enthusiast appeal.
