Thanks for sharing, almost looks like a mix of US and EU trims.

jefkat2 · May 23, 2025

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

Jethro_37377 · May 23, 2025

Nice truck, enjoy!!!! Love the diesel, would be nice to get this option in the U.S.

AlexGates · May 23, 2025

Damn, I want a built in compressor. Nice vehicle, congrats.

What do the Bedouins think of it. thats what matters when it comes to Land Cruisers in the middle east, especially KSA.

MSINAL · May 23, 2025

Do any LC have rear fog lamp(s)? I imagine EU does. Does Saudi spec?
I would like to add it to mine (usa) if so

Interesting that you get gx OT tires rather than the lame street tires we get here

Im surprised you guys don't have a Diesel variant, I'm guessing Diesel isn't popular?

Looks to be bolt in, I have the same in my FJ, the company is NSV : Compressors | nsvauto I may us the mount to swap in a ARB brushless Single if its too slow airing back up.

Funnily enough, they are now using the Toyota Fortuners more (Hilux without the truck bed)

I've been trying to buy a 70 series for around 2 years now, but no dealers could get one as they are now changing the diesel engines to Euro6 with the AdBlue emissions control. and the few that we could get were nearly double the price ~$80k+!!! they are usually less than $50k with 130l tank, winch, front and rear lockers and apple car play.

Fog light is bottom left at the back, the small square.

Yeah the normal tyre here is Dunlop Grand Trek AT20's. The Toyos seem quiet enough on the highway.

Salam and Ya Halla!!
MashAllah beautiful ride. Hope you get to enjoy it.
Few questions for you regarding this Saudi version of Land Cruiser 250(Prado):
Q) Does this ADV version or any other version of the Prado in Saudi Arabia come with a Kick Sensor for opening/closing the Power Tail gate?

Q) Would it be possible for you to find out the Toyota Part # for the built in air compressor assembly in the new Prado?

Q) Where is the Jack located in the Saudi Arabian ADV version of the Prado? (in the US and Canadian version where you have the built in compressor we have the place to store the Jack)

Q) Can you find out the Toyota part number of that box? (with the Towing receiver, Tow ball and the Hitch locking pin)

Thanks.

Not seen that option on any of the models over here.
It doesn't seem to have the wiring or anywhere the sensor would be underneath:

The Part number for the compressor is PM85F-62080 , but it looks to be an internal Saudi Toyota Accessory number.
The Jack sits behind the compressor control, and the compressor itself sits just behind it:

Part number for the tow hitch is PZQ63-60276 Towing Kit 3500KG Middle East

Nice fuel capacity 110L/29gal.

Looks like the Saudi Version has more features as compared to UAE Adventure.

UAE does not have the Towing Hitch,In Built Air Compressor, Headlight Washers !!!

Saudii 1 : UAE 0

Yeah the UAE somehow always gets poverty spec cars compared to the rest of the GCC. From what I’ve seen Kuwait usually has the best selection of higher spec Toyotas

When I was trying to get a 70series from UAE most had the old halogen lights instead of the LED ones?! No winch and steel wheels.

Appreciate all the detailed info and the supporting pics brother!!!

* Can I also ask you to please find:
1) The Toyota part number of the Air Hose attachment kit for this built in compressor
2) the Toyota part number of the piece with the rear red fog light on the rear driver side of the vehicle above the rear bumper.
2) the Toyota part number of the light inside the bonnet/hood (I have seen that on the ADV first edition Saudi Arabian version)

Much appreciated, again.

That's the dream trim. Very intelligent setup, it looks like you have SDM too. In Europe we are missing the 30L additional tank and air compressor. Can you sell parts for a retro fit?

I can drive from Switzerland to Saudi Arabia to mount parts in my car. I choose Riyhad , because Saudi Arabia is a big country to estimate the distance. Journey is only 5400km/3350mile, looks like the distance East to West across the US. Easy!

Hello. The hose doesn’t seem to have any part numbers on it. It was just in the boot next to the compressor.
Same with rear fog light
I don’t have a light under the bonnet so unfortunately can’t help you with that one.

Yeah seems to be well spec’s for the types of terrain we have all around.

I don’t sell parts just happen to have the bags/boxes that have the PN on.

Had a few friends drive back to Europe from Saudi and with the “taxes” and bribes that had to be paid along the way as well as the crossing into turkey it cost them 5x the amount compared to simply shipping the car.

This one will come back to Europe with me when I move back. We may bring a few more to sell on as I see the prices for base specs to be around the $100k mark!

You will have to see if your adblue tank is in the way of the extra tank if you want to retrofit.

I checked pictures found on the web and was able to check under a LC250 diesel form Moldavia which was diesel with adblue and 30L tank. With a help of a Toyota shop I was able to check parts availability. So regarding parts the retrofit looks ok, I can order every bits, bolts, tanks, pumps, hoses, etc... Concerning electrical/wire or software this has been not addressed yet because I must have VIN number of two cars to crosscheck (one car with additional tank and mine).

Saudi spec diesel LC250 comes as standard with Adblue and the 30L subtank, 110L total fuel capacity, message me and I'll send my VIN for crosschecking .
