This 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado KZJ78 is a Japanese-market 4WD SUV powered by Toyota’s legendary 1KZ-TE 3.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in an attractive light blue-gray / powder blue, this right-hand-drive Prado combines classic 1990s Toyota styling with the rugged diesel drivetrain that has made the KZJ78 increasingly desirable among Land Cruiser and JDM enthusiasts.

Showing approximately 157,691 miles, this Prado runs smoothly and drives well. The 1KZ-TE turbo diesel engine runs smoothly, while the 5-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through the gears.

The exterior is finished in light blue-gray / powder blue. The vehicle’s paint was refreshed by its previous owner in Japan, giving the Prado a clean and distinctive appearance while retaining the unmistakable boxy styling of the 70-series Prado.

Adding to its rugged appearance and capability, this Land Cruiser Prado rides on 33×10.5R16 Toyo M/T tires. The tires are almost new, providing an aggressive stance that complements the Prado’s four-wheel-drive platform.

1KZ-TE 3.0L Turbo Diesel Engine

At the heart of this 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is Toyota’s 1KZ-TE 3.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine. The 1KZ-TE became one of Toyota’s best-known diesel powerplants of this era and was used in a variety of Toyota 4WD vehicles.

This Prado’s engine starts and runs smoothly, providing the low-end characteristics expected from a turbo-diesel 4×4. Combined with the 5-speed manual gearbox, the drivetrain gives the driver direct control both on the road and when exploring beyond the pavement.

5-Speed Manual Transmission & 4WD

One of the most desirable features of this Prado is its 5-speed manual transmission. The transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and pairs exceptionally well with the 1KZ-TE turbo diesel engine.

For enthusiasts specifically searching for a manual Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, the combination of the KZJ78 chassis, 1KZ-TE diesel engine, 5-speed manual gearbox, and four-wheel-drive system makes this example particularly appealing.
