2005 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX

The 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX (J120 Third Generation) is a rugged mid-size 4x4 SUV constructed on a robust body-on-frame platform shared with the Toyota 4Runner and FJ Cruiser. Positioned as the functional core trim of the 120-series lineup, the TX balances genuine off-road capability with mechanical durability, avoiding the complex air-suspension components of higher grades. Its classic design is highlighted by vertical front grille slats, swept-back halogen headlamps, muscular flared wheel arches, side steps, and a tailgate-mounted spare wheel with a factory hard cover.Under the bonnet, the 2005 Petrol TX is powered by one of two VVT-i engines depending on market specification: a 2.7-liter 2TR-FE 4-cylinder engine ($163\text{ PS} / 246\text{ Nm}$), which replaced the older 3RZ-FE engine for the 2005 model year, or a high-output 4.0-liter 1GR-FE V6 engine ($249\text{ PS} / 380\text{ Nm}$). Transmission options include a 4-speed automatic (2.7L), a 5-speed automatic (4.0L V6), or a 5-speed manual, all paired with a full-time 4WD system featuring a Torsen limited-slip center differential and a selectable dual-range transfer case.Inside, the cabin offers an expansive 8-seater layout across three rows with hard-wearing fabric upholstery, an ergonomic center dashboard, and dual-zone manual or automatic climate control with dedicated rear ceiling vents. Designed for long-distance durability and harsh terrain, many models feature optional dual fuel tanks (up to 180 liters total capacity), providing exceptional driving range for overland travel.
