What is the fuel tank of the Prado?

The Prado's fuel tank capacity is typically around 87 liters (about 23 gallons); the exact size varies by generation, engine option, and regional market.


The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a globally sold mid-size SUV produced in multiple generations and regions, so the precise capacity depends on year and trim. Here is a concise guide to what you can expect across common variants.


Capacity by generation and market


Because capacity changes with generation and region, here is a concise guide to typical sizes you'll encounter.



  • Most modern Prado models list a nominal fuel tank capacity of about 87 liters (23 gallons).

  • Some markets and trims have a slightly larger tank, commonly cited as around 90 liters (about 24 gallons).

  • For any specific vehicle, the precise capacity is confirmed in the official specifications for that model year and market.


In practice, you can plan range based on your vehicle’s fuel economy in L/100 km or mpg, using the tank size as the starting point. Actual range will vary with driving conditions and engine.


Why tank size matters for Prado owners


A larger fuel tank reduces fuel stops on long trips, improves trip planning for remote routes, and interacts with the vehicle's overall weight and fuel economy. For owners who frequently drive in areas with limited refueling options, a model with a 90-liter tank can offer a modest advantage.


Tips for checking your own Prado’s tank size


Consult your owner’s manual, dealer documentation, or the official Toyota specifications for your exact vehicle year and market to confirm the tank capacity.


Summary


The Prado’s fuel tank capacity is generally around 87 liters, with some regional variants offering around 90 liters. Always verify the precise figure for your specific model year and market to plan trips and fueling accordingly.
