What makes this car special?
This 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado RJ77 LX is special for several compelling reasons:
Rare Configuration: The RJ77 is a rarely seen variant of the legendary 70 Series, built for only 6 years. This particular example is even more unusual as a left-hand-drive, 4-door model with coil spring suspension - a configuration mainly sold into the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) market.
Desirable Mechanical Package: Unlike many 70 Series trucks that came with leaf springs, this RJ77 features smoother-riding coil springs. It’s powered by the bulletproof 22R 2.4L carbureted engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission - a combination beloved by enthusiasts for its simplicity and reliability. The 22R engine is particularly valued in the US market because parts and service knowledge are readily available.
GCC Provenance: Originally sold new in Oman, this truck benefits from the dry Middle Eastern climate that’s ideal for preserving classic vehicles. GCC-spec vehicles are known for being well-maintained and rust-free due to the climate conditions.
Market Position: At $19,980, it’s competitively priced within the current market range of $17,902-$28,902 for similar 70 Series Land Cruisers. With 232,000 km (144,000 miles), it represents honest use for a 30-year-old vehicle built to last.
Authenticity: The vehicle retains its original Toyota Basic White paint (code 045), factory 15” 6-spoke chrome wheels, and comes with desirable features like the factory altimeter/inclinometer, power accessories, and barn doors.
This is essentially a turnkey classic 4x4 that combines Toyota’s legendary durability with import exclusivity and mechanical simplicity that makes it easy to maintain and modify. The coil spring suspension and 22R engine make it particularly appealing to enthusiasts who want the 70 Series experience with better ride quality and proven mechanicals.
