An AMERICAN Reviews The 1994 Toyota Prado WE NEVER GOT

- The Toyota Prado was created to be a budget-friendly, smaller option to the Toyota Land Cruiser that was slowly getting bigger and more expensive in the 90s. We also never got the SUV here in the USA! Well, this one was imported into the USA, and I am excited to show you all about it, drive it, and give you all of my impressions!

The 'LC "Prado" is NOT a more on-road version of the regular Land Cruiser. It is a LIGHT-DUTY version, meaning it is not set up for towing, hauling heavy loads, etc. It is therefore a bit lighter, with a bit better ground clearance from a smaller rear differential, and a bit better articulation/more confortable with the coil springs rather than leaf springs of the 'heavy-duty' land cruiser. These changes actually make it a very slightly better off-road performer, compared to it's heavy-duty cousin.
Thanks for the added input on that!
I could tow a waverunner though, right? It sounds like I could.
The prado wasn’t entirely a budget cruiser built more for onroad thats actually a huge misconception
The Prado is meant to carry over the bells and whistles from the station wagon series (e.g 200,100,80 series) and put them in something the size of the 70 series Land Cruiser since the station wagon series has gotten huge in the 90’s and onwards and the 70 series has been and still is very bare bones and agricultural (seriously you can still option one without a radio or electric windows)
It may not be appearant in this gen but in the 2nd generation and onwards Toyota made it clearer
This thing is every bit as tough and capable as a 70 and station wagon series, nothing to scoff at, in fact the UN uses Prados alongside the 70 series in African countries, not the 200 or 300 as those are far too large and not as nimble offroad. (Station wagon series are still used by the UN in other countries however)
Wow, some awesome information here, appreciate it!
Lovely vehicle! I would argue that softer suspension is actually more suited to off-road and detrimental to on-road handling.
Interesting!
Yes, it also has better ground clearance from a smaller rear differential (8 inch v. 9.5 inch) compared to the heavy duty version. With the lighter 4 cylinder turbo (1kz) compared to the straight six 1hz, this is a bit better off-road performer than the heavy duty 70 series.
The good thing is that you never get. Just stick with unknown 4runner 😂
Wanted to say another great video`s loving your content so far Looking forward to more Ram content/Updates Waiting somewhat patiently lol. Wanted to say about these older Yoda`s from early to mid 90`s they were pretty good my Uncle swore by them 4 runner`s with the 4 or 6 he slapped a Turbo on the 4cyl and if you keep them RPM`s up and the 32" wheels on her it would go places only the Jeeps could in our bush runner mud group Over here in Muskoka Canada. Would like to see how capable This Prado would be in some deep snow or a bit of mud with aggressive lug`s on it but can understand this one was pretty damn clean to beat on too hard. Seems like she needs a small turbo like almost all the early Yoda`s.
Haha yes, most all 90s Toyotas were a bit underpowered. This one was really a fun one to review! They are extremely capable vehicles.
That cup holder is available from Odd Iron Off Road. They inventory a couple of versions.
Very cool, thanks for that info!
those vented door are on the 80 and 100 series LC as well. not to mention the G wagon
Very interesting! Yes, I recently reviewed the 80 Series, but didn't dig into that feature at the time. I wasn't aware of the G Wagon!
Nice car!
I think so too!
The hand needs to get out of the clip…
Thanks for the feedback on that! I’ll try to make some changes on that moving forward (that I haven’t already filmed that is haha)!
In fact, is the new Land Cruiser based on the global platform of the Prado?
Or do you mean to say the usa Land Cruiser is a Prado outside the usa?
Haha technically they are on and the same, should have said that better!
@readysetrev
No, they are not. What you are driving is a first-generation Prado, while the 4Runner is different. Even the old-generation 4Runner was related to the Hilux.
Should have done your research better
Again, stick with the unknown 4Runner
@@mohammeds5458 hey, thought you were referencing the new Land Cruiser (USA version) that I talked about at the beginning of the video. That is the same as the global Prado.
Cool shoes what are those?
Thanks! They were gifted to by the brand (Deckers x Lab) for another channel that I have. You can find them here (Paid Link): alnk.to/hsuPRNS
