Yeah, its for parking spaces in Japan, which are rarely free. The newest ones have a camera and if you leave without paying they go after you with penalties.

Are not many VDJ7* in Japan .. ?

Sadly none. The diesel V8 in the VDJ is actually pretty dirty and won't pass the clean air laws in Japan.

The 2016 Prado has a new 4 cylinder clean tech diesel however, even in Japan. We'll see how well it sells...

Thought that 1VD-FTV was pretty clean ( euro IV ...? ) how the things have changed since B ( the diesel B ) was produced right .. ?

It soooo sucks that we can't get those here......

 

[NM Frontier]

I just love the double cab in that red and the grey fenders added on.

But we have the redesigned Tacoma.

My understanding is that the 2016 Prado with the new clean diesel meets Euro 5 for that market and also meets Japan emissions. The VDJ is just not clean enough for Japanese emissions laws.

Indeed. Japan doesn't even get the Hilux these days... (there are other trucks, but not the Hilux)

Now they ( Mr. T obviously ) made the 1VD-FTV EUROV ( DPF ) will pass Japan emissions .?

Hard to say. The only Land Cruiser currently sold in Japan is the 4.6 gasoline V8 200.

 

[FJ73Texas]

The 200 series in Japan is 4.6? I thought it was 3UR 5.7 currently?

 

[cruiserdan]

1URFE in Japan.

 

[FJ73Texas]

Was the 200 series ever 3UR equipped in Japan?

I have actually seen the 3UR equipped 2007+ Toyota Tundras there before (Been to Japan 5 different times since 2011) which surprised me considering they are obviously imports, LHD.

I want to add that I rarely see the 70 series in Japan, but then I have only been there two weeks each time I went.

Guess Japan the taxes and laws it's not the best environment for Land Cruisers .. and even if I realize that they are all about efficiency .. ( small efficient vehicles ? )
