The new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is the focus of the latest project by Wald International. The Japanese tuner published a set of renderings, previewing a series of extensive visual modifications, combined with a slammed road-focused or a lifted all-terrain setup. At the front, Wald’s Land Cruiser Prado (J250) features a bespoke bumper with complex intakes, a skid plate, and integrated LEDs. These are joined by a large hood scoop and a dark treatment for the grille and headlights.
The profile is highlighted by the wide
fender extensions, covering the massive aftermarket wheels and the notably
wider tracks. The first variant rides on a set of six-spoke wheels wrapped in
grippy all-terrain rubber, with a lift kit contributing to a generous ground
clearance. Alternatively, Wald can retrofit large-diameter alloy wheels shod in
performance tires, together with a lowering kit. This option will limit the
off-road potential of the Land Cruiser, but judging from rival SUVs it certainly
has an audience.
Other modifications include an aerodynamic
roof extension with extra LEDs and an oversized rear spoiler. The tuner didn’t
show the back view, but we expect a redesigned rear bumper with a diffuser
structure replacing the aluminum-style skid plate of the original. There’s no
word on whether Wald will offer any performance upgrades for the Land Cruiser.
In any case, interested parties can always find ways to increase the power
output of the hybrid, gasoline, or diesel engine of their Toyota (depending on
the market).
While it is not clear how much the
finished product will deviate from the renderings, Wald’s take on the Land
Cruiser will likely resonate with those who want a head-turning SUV. According
to the teaser on Instagram, the tuning kit will be fully unveiled soon.
