I've been waiting a long time to import one of these... The Landcruiser Prado has finally reached its 25th birthday and is now eligible for import to the United States. I went to Vancouver to pick this one up at the turn of the new year and decided to test it out by driving it home across the Canadian Rockies. She sailed over the mountains with ease and handled the snowy uphill climb no problem. I was really surprised at the amount of power considering the small diesel engine. This model has an overdrive bypass and power boost button which allows you to pass the slow pokes on the road. I pushed the RPMs on the mountain passes and the temperature gauge never even hit the half way mark. Automatic Transmission shifts amazing and my international parts guy says he's never seen one go bad. Also has a sport mode for better off road shock absorption. Has Automatic locking hubs with push button high 4x4 and manual low 4x4 with rear locking differential. I did get stuck one time in my driveway, snow was about two feet deep where the snow plow boxed me in. I put it in 4-low and crawled right out. This vehicle is awesome in the winter weather and gets fantastic fuel economy for being a 4x4. I'm tempted to keep this one. Toyota dependability, awesome off road capability, solid front axle, the option to make your own free fuel, with a practically brand new engine and a completely rust free frame and body will bring you years of enjoyment. Please read on before you contact me with questions..... This vehicle is equipped with an emissions EGR system. An EGR delete plate is included with the sale of this truck. Any one with mechanical capabilities should be able to delete the EGR system relatively easily. I am leaving the EGR hooked up because some states (California) and municipalities require emissions regulations to register a vehicle. Again, an EGR (exhaust gas recycler) delete plate with pyrometer hole already drilled out, goes with the truck if you are inclined to install it.

Q: Are these vehicles hard to get parts for? A: No, but you usually can't just walk into Napa and say " I need brake calipers for a 1990 diesel landcruiser," but you can find the part number on www.toyodiy.com and it will give you other part numbers of common vehicles that overlap. For example: if you need brake calipers for this vehicle (which you shouldn't for awhile as they were just replaced 70k miles ago) they are the same brake calipers that fit a 1990 Toyota v6 pickup. Body parts are also readily available through Canada and I also have several specialty parts contacts in Canada that can get any import part. If you purchase this vehicle, I will gladly give you all of my parts contacts. Q: But isn't it awkward with the steering wheel on the right side? A: I thought it would be too, but after about the first five minutes of driving, it drives just like every other car. It also makes shooting out the window much easier:) Q: Is this vehicle legal in my state? A: Any vehicle that is at least 25 years old is exempt from DOT and EPA requirements and is therefore admissible for import. I have a Clean Clear Montana Title for this vehicle as I do for all vehicles I sell. The process at your DMV is no different than if you bought a Chevy or Ford from some guy in Montana and wanted to license it in your state. Q: Will it pass emissions/smog requirements? A: I can not make any guarantee about the size of particulates exiting this truck's exhaust system and requirements will vary from state to state. What I can tell you is that it passed "Air Care" in Vancouver British Columbia. If you don't live in an area that requires emissions systems, then do the EGR delete, put on a straight exhaust and blow black smoke all the way up the trail. Thanks for looking and good luck with the bidding! If you have any other questions about this vehicle, please ask them before you bid! I am happy to answer any question regarding the mechanics, condition, history and performance of this vehicle. My phone number is 406-214-8419. Someone asked me earlier about MPG and I gave them a best estimate. After actually doing the math I calculated that, going over the mountains and in 4x4, with lots of stop and go, I got 21 mpg and on the flat open highway in 2wd I got 25 mpg. It's common to hear people say they can get "30 mpg" with these rigs, but keep in mind that those estimates come from people overseas where they use imperial gallons. In US gallons that is more like 25 mpg, which is more realistic. Still, there is no gasoline 4x4 SUV out there that will give you that kind of fuel economy!
