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 perhaps one of the cleanest survivor examples in existence. With just over 50,000 miles on the bulletproof Toyota 3.4 liter 5VZ-FE V6 engine, this beauty is just getting broken in. This is currently my wife's personal vehicle and has performed flawlessly. It was imported from Japan in January 2026 and is offered for your consideration.
