In April 1990, long-wheelbase 5-door versions were added to the Land Cruiser 70 wagon and van, which had previously consisted solely of short-wheelbase 3-door versions. At the same time, the wagon model was separated from the Land Cruiser 70 line as the Land Cruiser Prado, to compete in the market that was dominated by the then highly successful Mitsubishi Pajero.

The 3-door version of the Prado came with two rows of seats accommodating five people, whereas the 5-door version could accommodate eight people in three rows of seats. The engine was initially a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder SOHC turbo diesel unit producing 97 PS (2L-TE), which was replaced with a newly developed 3-liter 130 PS 4-cylinder turbo diesel unit in May 1993. The transmission was either a 5-speed manual or an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic, and the drivetrain configuration was part-time 4-wheel-drive with a 2-speed transfer.

The meaning of "Land Cruiser" is the same as in English. "Prado" is Portuguese for "meadow" or "field."
