Land Cruiser Prado 90 Model Information
Please Note:  The information below is general model information for the Prado 90 Series lineup as a whole.  Features and options will vary per a vehicle and listed above.

From Toyota Global 75 Years of Vehicle Lineage:
With the second-generation model released in May 1996, the Land Cruiser Prado line steered toward a more passenger-oriented 4-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle.  Both the short-wheelbase 3-door model (5-seater) and the long-wheelbase model (8-seater) became larger than their predecessors, and were classified as "3 number" vehicles.  The two models were distinguished by their front styling including the headlamp design: the short-boded model had a sportier look, whereas the long-boded model appeared more rugged.

The engine lineup consisted of a newly included 3.4 liter 185 PS V6 DOHC gasoline engine (5VZ-FE) and a 3 liter 4-cylinder SOHC turbo diesel unit (1KZ-TE) that had powered the previous model, although the latter increased its output 140 PS with the addition of an intercooler.  The drivetrain configuration was switched from part-time 4WD to full-time 4WD.  The same suspension was used for both the Prado and the Hilux Surf, consisting of an independent double wishbone and coil spring system for the front and a 4-link coil spring system for the rear.  A 2.7 liter 150 PS 4-cylinder DOHC gasoline engin (3RZ-FE) was added to the lineup in April 1997, and the turbo diesel unit was replaced with a 3 liter common rail diesel unit (1KD-FTV) producing 170 PS in July 2000.

Manufacturing Plant:  Honsha Plant, Tahara Plant

Name Orgin:
