This 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX is finished in Desert Dune over Gray Metallic (Color Code K03) and shows 134,450 verified miles. As a TX trim example equipped with the desirable 5 speed manual transmission, it stands out as a rarer configuration among 90-series Prado’s, which were most often fitted with automatics. Blending capability, practicality, and classic Land Cruiser durability, this Prado remains one of Toyota’s most versatile mid-size SUVs of the era.

Under the hood, this Prado is powered by the 3.0L 1KZ-TE turbo diesel, equipped with a factory intercooler. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, full-time 4WD, a dual range transfer case, and a center locking differential, this setup provides impressive drivability both on and off-road. The intercooled 1KZ-TE delivers improved efficiency and heat management compared to non-intercooled variants, adding durability and performance to an already proven platform.

Inside, the Prado balances comfort with utility. Features include power windows, power folding and adjustable mirrors, power locks, and climate control with hot heat and cold A/C. A digital clinometer, compass, and temperature gauges are fitted to the dash, underscoring the model’s off-road focus. The cabin seats eight passengers across three rows, with rear pop out windows providing additional ventilation for those in the back. The third row jump seats can be folded and stowed to the sides, creating a generous cargo area when needed, adding flexibility for both passengers and gear.

The exterior carries classic mid ’90s Toyota SUV styling, highlighted by its two-tone Desert Dune over Gray Metallic finish. Practical touches include OEM side steps, factory rain guards, and a fender mirror for improved visibility. At the rear, a swing out tire carrier holds a full sized spare with a tire cover. Never officially offered in the U.S., the 90 series Prado stands out on American roads with its unique design and two-tone finish.

This Land Cruiser Prado TX pairs the intercooled 1KZ-TE turbo diesel with a 5-speed manual and full-time 4WD with a center locking differential, offering exceptional capability both on and off the road. With seating for eight and rugged mechanicals, it’s ready for daily driving, long trips, or overland adventures.
