1996 Toyota LC Prado TZ V6

′ alloys, this rig is a looker. Freshly serviced, this terrific Toyota boasts only 127k verified and documented miles on the ticker. For those who care about what’s beneath the skin, how about FullTime 4WD, center and rear locking differentials, and a V6 that just won’t quit! Ideal for serious overlanders, JDM enthusiasts, and families on the go, this terrific Toyota is the definition of a Japanese Classic! The cabin is in above-average shape and nicely appointed. Access to it is made more seamless thanks to functional keyless entry. Dual SRS airbags are standard, and the driver benefits from a tilt-adjustable steering column to find the ideal seating position. The dashboard is simple, logically laid out, and lacks any cracking or distortion. The center stack is close by and features an automatic climate control system that pipes in cold A/C and piping hot heat. Above, the OEM audio works like a charm, and daily driving is made more manageable with power folding mirrors, electric locks, and power windows. A massive moonroof can retract and tilt to deliver a light breeze to those within the cockpit. Those sitting behind the driver and passenger have their own dedicated climate systems for cooling and heating, as well, with their own controls. Equipped with a prized third row, those in the rear jump seats can even butterfly out the rear glass for some fresh air. The blue and gray upholstery is in above-average shape and lacks any major rips, stains, or tears. The headliner and door cards are in good shape, as is the carpet. An OEM field monitor keeps those within the cockpit updated on outside conditions, and a dash cam is mounted behind the rear-view mirror. Best of all, the owner’s manuals, maintenance booklets, OEM floor-mounted trash receptacle, and carpet mats are all included with the purchase. Powering this Landy is one of Toyota’s most distinguished engines, the 5VZ-FE. Fresh off an oil and filter service, the 3.4L whirrs to life, courtesy of a new 12v battery, and a new engine air filter and new fuel filter were installed when it got on the lift. The quad cam runs right as rain and is linked to a stout automatic gearbox. Power is funneled through a Full-Time 4WD system. Settings for low range, a rear locker, and a center locker are all available to the pilot if they want to hit the beach or some trails. It gets up to highway speeds with ease, and slows down confidently, courtesy of standard anti-lock brakes. The suspension gobbles up potholes and has been refreshed with new rear upper and lower control arms. A fresh alignment keeps this Prado tracking straight as an arrow, and the power steering is light and easy to articulate. The refinished factory alloys are wrapped in new Falken all-terrain rubber. They look mean, reduce road noise, and will provide all the necessary grip for a long while to come. Turn key and ready to rock, this truck is at home on the pavement, and off the beaten path, too!
