The 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX-L Off Road (150 Series Facelift) is a premium SUV that perfectly blends luxury, reliability and exceptional off-road capability. Built to conquer some of the toughest terrain while providing outstanding comfort, the Prado TX-L remains one of the most respected four-wheel-drive vehicles in Kenya. The particular vehicle shown is not a standard Prado—it has been extensively modified into a fully equipped overlanding and expedition vehicle, making it ideal for long-distance touring, camping, safaris and serious off-road adventures.
Under the bonnet, the Prado TX-L is commonly powered by Toyota’s 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV turbo-diesel engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, although some import markets received the 2.7-litre petrol engine. The diesel engine is particularly popular for its excellent torque, impressive fuel economy and effortless towing capability. Toyota’s full-time four-wheel-drive system with a low-range transfer case provides exceptional grip on tarmac, gravel, mud, sand and rocky terrain, ensuring confidence in virtually any driving condition.
Inside, the Prado TX-L offers a spacious and luxurious cabin designed for both daily driving and extended expeditions. The interior comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers, with high-quality leather seats, power-adjustable front seats and generous legroom throughout. Premium features include dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air-conditioning vents, a touchscreen infotainment system, smart key with push-button start, cruise control, a reverse camera and a multifunction steering wheel, creating a refined driving experience for both driver and passengers.
Safety is one of the Prado’s strongest attributes. The 2019 TX-L comes equipped with multiple airbags, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control. Depending on the market specification, the Off Road model may also include Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control and a rear differential lock, providing exceptional control on steep, slippery and uneven terrain. LED projector headlights with daytime running lights and headlamp washers further improve visibility and safety in poor weather conditions.
This particular Prado has been transformed into a serious overlanding and off-road machine through a range of premium aftermarket upgrades. At the front, it features a heavy-duty steel off-road bumper, an integrated bull bar with side protection, a steel mesh grille, a bonnet protector (stone/bug deflector), a raised snorkel for improved water-crossing capability and cleaner air intake, auxiliary LED cube lights, a large UHF/CB radio antenna, and reinforced recovery/towing points integrated into the bumper.
Along the sides, the vehicle is equipped with heavy-duty rock sliders, bolt-on fender flares, dark privacy tint, and a wider stance thanks to aggressive offset wheels. The suspension appears to have been upgraded with an approximately 2 to 3-inch lift kit, improving ground clearance and off-road capability. It also rides on large mud-terrain tyres fitted to black beadlock-style alloy wheels, providing superior traction on mud, sand and rocky trails.
The roof has been purpose-built for expedition travel with a full-length aluminium roof rack, a 270-degree side awning for camping and outdoor activities, and a roof-mounted LED light bar for enhanced visibility during night driving.
At the rear, the Prado features a heavy-duty steel rear bumper, a swing-away spare wheel carrier, a jerry can holder, integrated recovery points, and dark smoked LED tail lamps, all of which enhance both functionality and rugged styling.
Inside the cabin, an AUXBEAM switch controller has been installed, allowing the driver to independently operate various aftermarket accessories. These include roof-mounted LED lights, grille lights, reverse/work lights, rock lights, rear auxiliary lights, additional power circuits, along with spare programmable switches for future accessories. This setup gives the driver complete control over the vehicle’s auxiliary equipment during off-road or camping expeditions.
On the road, the Prado TX-L remains exceptionally comfortable despite its extensive modifications. The suspension absorbs rough terrain with ease while maintaining excellent stability on highways. The elevated driving position offers outstanding visibility, and the powerful diesel engine provides effortless acceleration, towing performance and long-distance cruising comfort.
Overall, this 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado TX-L Off Road (150 Series Facelift) is far more than a standard luxury SUV. It has been professionally equipped as a dedicated overlanding and touring vehicle, making it perfectly suited for long-distance expeditions, camping, safari adventures, remote travel, serious off-roading and towing trailers or caravans. Combined with Toyota’s legendary reliability, premium interior and advanced four-wheel-drive system, it represents one of the finest all-round adventure vehicles available.
This particular model has been heavily modified for overlanding and off-road use. It retains the factory TX-L equipment while adding several premium aftermarket accessories.
