This is the Best Toyota Land Cruiser You've Never Heard Of: The Land Cruiser J78 Prado. Specifically, this is the Land Cruiser KZJ78W Prado. When the 70-series Land Cruiser was introduced, Toyota split the 70-series into the "heavy duty" and "light duty" versions of the truck. The Prado (also known as the Bundera or Land Cruiser II) embodies the "light duty" ethos with a blend of off-road capability, comfort, and a more civilian-friendly design, making it a unique entry in the Land Cruiser lineage. This 1995 KZJ78W model showcases the classic rugged lines and robust build quality that Toyota is renowned for, alongside features and amenities that were quite advanced for its time.
James Reeves gives you a personal tour of his Prado, along with Japanese car expert, Aaron Ross of Bulldog Auto Japan, and they explain why the Toyota Land Cruiser J78 Prado, especially the KZJ78W model, stands as a testament to Toyota's engineering excellence and foresight into the SUV market's evolution that lives up to the revered Land Cruiser heritage.
