1994 Toyota Land Cruiser KZJ78 Prado 

This 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser KZJ78 Prado EX is a right-hand-drive example that was built in January 1994 and imported to the United States from Japan in May 2021. Finished in black over a blue fleck cloth, the truck is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-four paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Features include aftermarket 15” alloy wheels, aftermarket shocks and springs, air conditioning, and a touchscreen infotainment system with rear camera. Recent work carried out by seller consists of an oil change along with a fuel filter, and air filter. This 70-Series Prado shows 220k kilometers (~125k miles) and is now offered with Oregon title and registration.

70 Series Land Cruisers were not imported into the US but saw use in Japan, Africa, Australia and Central/South America. Driving a RHD is easily undertaken on US roadways and requires very little time to adjust. Parts are readily available and many Toyota shops will eagerly work on these vehicles.

Originally finished in a two-tone scheme of Dark Blue Mica Metallic and Flaxen Mica Metallic, the body was repainted its current shade of black during restoration in Japan. An eclectic mirror is standard to the passenger-side fender, featuring window rain guards and additional features include headlamp washers, adjustable side mirrors, aftermarket window tint and visors, chrome bumpers, running boards, and a hitch receiver.

Aftermarket 15″ alloy wheels wear rear chrome caps, mounted with 33” x 10.5” General Grabber, and a matching spare is affixed to the rear ambulance-style doors. The truck features manually-locking front hubs and has been fitted with a lift kit with aftermarket shocks and springs.

The seats are upholstered in blue fleck and matching upholstery extends to the carpeting and door panels. Amenities include air conditioning, power accessories, floor mats, and an aftermarket touchscreen infotainment system.

Original wood grain trim steering wheel sits ahead of a 170-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with a 4,400-rpm redline. The six-digit odometer shows just over 220k kilometers (~125k miles), a few added by the seller.

The cargo area features tie downs and rear windows that kick out for additional ventilation.

The 3.0-liter 1KZ-TE turbodiesel inline-four transfers power to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission via a dual range transfer case. Service performed in preparation for the sale included a replacement air filter, and fuel filter along with an oil change.
The 78 series was imported from Yokohama Japan into Long Beach, CA and now registered and titled in Oregon after passing air quality control. All importation documents are available along with a long list of service records in Japanese.
