When you own a Land Cruiser, you can explore places others can't. Why not do it in style with this iconic-looking 1993 Prado. Offered with a mere 153k verified and documented miles, this recently serviced turbodiesel is barely broken in, and comes turn-key ready to rock. The body and paint are in fine nick, aside from some light scuffs, dings, and chips associated with normal use. Finished in a Dark Emerald Pearl over Silver (24V) Two-Tone, this SX is set off by a wild set of fender mirrors, OEM brush guard, and some subtle privacy tint. Best of all this tough-looking rig boasts a spacious and nicely optioned cabin, and it even includes a third row. As a kid hauler, daily driver, or unique overlander, this collectible and reliable Toyota would surely fit the bill, and is a bonafide Japanese Classic.

The cabin was cared for in Japan and it shows. The blue and gray textured upholstery steals the show and there are three rows of seats. The material is still soft to the touch and lacks any major rips, stains, or tears. The driver's seat even has a power lumbar adjustment and the steering column is tilt adjustable, too. Electric amenities include functional power door locks and windows, which make daily use enjoyable. The climate control system is a manual one and is simple to use. Piping hot heat and cold A/C are on hand so you'll be set up for success no matter which climate you reside. Directly below is a snazzy Kenwood touchscreen headunit. It looks more modern than the dated OEM one, and sounds decent too. The door cards, carpets, and headliner have withstood the past 25 years without sustaining major abuse, but that's not to say the cabin is perfect as there is some light wear on the soft-touch surfaces and the dashboard has a crack, which is common to see on these sadly. Still, this thing is nicer than most trucks half its age, and the next owner will be pleasantly surprised with the condition, no doubt.

Simplicity is beautiful, and our clients love how easy these trucks are to work on. They lack all the sensors and computers that make newer SUVs difficult to maintain and fix, and these 1KZ-TE engines are nearly bulletproof. Fresh off an oil and filter service the 3.0L cranks to life thanks to two new 12v batteries. A new engine air filter helps the four-banger to breathe easier and the engine is connected to a slick-shifting automatic gearbox. Acceleration is better than you'd expect for a truck this heavy and sustained highway cruising is stress-free. The selective transfer case allows the driver to select 2WD for efficiency, and 4WD when the weather isn't the best. A low gear setting and electric locking hubs are on standby, too, should you need to engage them. The factory adjustable suspension is confident and handles large and small potholes alike with confidence. The brakes are capable and the power steering is light and on point. The tires have plenty of tread and will inspire confidence in the sand, snow, and sleet.
