TOYOTA LAND CRUISER PRADO
The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado belongs to the light-duty branch of the Land Cruiser family and has evolved through several generations while retaining a strong focus on four-wheel-drive capability. For used-vehicle buyers, the 120 Series and 150 Series are especially important because they cover a wide range of gasoline and diesel specifications.
The 120 Series, introduced in 2002, used a high-rigidity frame and was offered in Japan with several engine combinations during its production period. See also: Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 Series. Examples include the 2.7-liter 3RZ-FE and later 2TR-FE gasoline engines, the 3.0-liter 1KD-FTV turbo-diesel, and the 4.0-liter 1GR-FE gasoline V6, depending on year and specification.
Toyota launched the fourth-generation 150 Series in Japan in 2009. Early Japanese-market models included the 2.7-liter 2TR-FE and 4.0-liter 1GR-FE gasoline engines. In 2015, Toyota introduced the 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV turbo-diesel to the Japanese Prado lineup. See also: Land Cruiser Prado GDJ151W. Model codes commonly found in Japanese used stock include TRJ150W for 2.7-liter gasoline versions and GDJ150W/GDJ151W for later 2.8-liter diesel versions.
Japanese-market 150 Series models use four-wheel drive, and 5-seat and 7-seat configurations were available depending on grade and year. Equipment also varies considerably between TX, TX L Package, TZ-G, and special editions, so buyers should compare individual vehicles rather than relying only on the model name.

When selecting a used Prado, confirm the model code, engine, fuel type, seating capacity, transmission, maintenance history, underbody condition, and fitted 4WD equipment. These details are particularly important when choosing a vehicle for rough roads, rural travel, or regular long-distance use.
