Hi I have a 2012 Prado 150 (Called Land Cruiser here in Ireland).

Does anyone know where they are built? Model no is KDJ150R-GKFFYW.

Thanks !

Does yours have the wheel on the back door. I've just got back from Dubai and was very surprised at how many Prado's don't have the wheel on the back door over there, so had to take a few photos. Saw quite a few 120 & 150 3 door Prado's which looked really cool too, with and without wheel on back door. By not having the wheel on the back door it would be interesting to look at the specs to see how much fuel they lost. I also saw heaps of he new Nissan's without the wheel on the back, so wonder wonder if they will be brought out here.

No mine has the wheel underneath so just got the standard fuel tank. A lot of them here also have them on the back door - especially the 3 door ones but they just have standard fuel tanks too as we don't do as many long distance journeys as people in some other parts of the world.

I was very surprised to see so many 120s when I was in Bundoran in Aug 2011 but never saw a single one in the North.
Also the soldiers up and down the street with their army Shoguns (Pajeros) during bank money movement time. Thought I was back in Belfast 30 yrs ago. lol

Cheers, Jim.

Hi vf949 I am fairly sure they are all made in Japan but your vehicle manufacture plate normally sys country of manufacture along with build date vin number etc. Have a look on the front passenger door sill or perhaps drivers door sill . In Aus it is left front door sill.

The Prado and FJ Cruiser are assembled by Hino Motors in their Hamura plant in Japan.
