The third-generation Land Cruiser Prado was released in October 2002. The newly designed high rigidity frame delivered enhanced maneuverability, vehicle stability, and quietness. The newly developed Torsen LSD transfer unit in the center differential boosted both on-road and off-road performance. The active traction control system (TRC) could perform complex adjustments of uphill/downhill driving to improve off-road drivability, while the H∞-TEMS and electronically controlled rear air suspension systems reinforced on-road maneuverability, vehicle stability, and ride comfort.

The choice of engines included 3.4- and 2.7-liter V6 gasoline units and a 3.0-liter inter-cooled turbo diesel unit.

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