Product Overview

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado J120 is a mid-size SUV in production from 2002 to 2009. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 2.7 to 4.0 liters. As usual, the Prado was available in both 3-door and 5-door guises. The former seats 5, while the latter seats 7.
A smaller alternative to the real Land Cruiser, the Prado has good offroad capabilities. One could argue that it may be a wiser choice for offroad duties, as its lower price point makes scratches and bumps less painful to the owner.
