Where is the engine number of Prado located?

On the engine block. After turning the left front wheel outward to the maximum, you can reach into the wheel gap and feel the engine number by hand. Here is some extended information about Prado: 1. The PRADO off-road vehicle is the latest model in Toyota's Land Cruiser series. This newly developed SUV is equipped with Toyota's newly developed 1GR-FEV6 six-cylinder electronic fuel injection engine with a displacement of 3956CC, delivering excellent power performance and meeting the latest Euro III emission standards for high environmental protection. 2. The PRADO's advanced engine provides strong output power and torque, paired with a highly robust frame and reinforced suspension system, resulting in impressive off-road capability and passability. It features a brand-new exterior design, high-quality interior, and excellent noise insulation work.
I've been driving a Prado for almost ten years. The engine number is usually located on the engine block itself, visible when you open the hood. Specifically, it's on the side of the cylinder block near the drive belt, on a small metal plate engraved with the serial number or digits. Bring a flashlight if it's dark and look carefully. For some model years of the Prado, the location varies slightly depending on the version - gasoline engines typically have it in a more prominent position at the front. Finding this number is particularly useful when selling or transferring ownership of the vehicle - make sure not to mistake it. I recommend cleaning it occasionally when maintaining the engine bay to prevent dust buildup. Don't confuse it with the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) which is on the door pillar. Remembering its location helps with DIY troubleshooting.
