Toyota calls the Land Cruiser Prado “The Perfect Balance of Power and Comfort.” There’s no question the Prado is one of the most capable SUVs on the market—renowned for reliability, long-distance touring comfort, and the ability to handle New Zealand’s toughest conditions. From city streets to remote backroads, the Prado has built a reputation as the go-to SUV for families, adventurers, and professionals who need strength they can trust. But like every other manufacturer Toyota calibrates its engines for broad global markets, emissions, and fuel grades rather than maximum performance. That means power and torque are deliberately limited. At Auto Upgrades, we unlock that hidden capability. With precise ECU tuning, your Prado gains the performance it should always have had—more horsepower, more torque, sharper throttle response, and improved drivability both on and off the road.
