Toyota Prado buying guide — Kenya

Who buys a Prado

Families, upcountry travel, tow users, and anyone who values ground clearance and resale. Expect higher fuel and tyre costs than Harrier-class SUVs.

Trims you will see

- **TX** — common workhorse spec. - **TZ-G** — more luxury kit and often higher price. Confirm exact trim against logbook and interior, not only badging.

Diesel vs petrol

Diesel dominates for torque and touring. Petrol exists — confirm parts and mechanic support in your town.

Inspection

• Frame and suspension bushings (off-road use).
• Turbo and injector history on diesel.
• Transfer case and 4WD engagement.
• Cooling system — overheating kills deals.

Duty and imports

Many Prados are imports. Estimate duty for your year and engine, then compare to locally registered stock.
