Where is the engine number of the Prado located?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Prado is located on the engine block. This engine number position is relatively hidden. After turning the left front wheel of the vehicle outward to the maximum, you can reach into the wheel gap and feel the engine number by hand. Information about the Prado is as follows: 1. This newly developed next-generation SUV is equipped with the newly developed Toyota six-cylinder electronic fuel injection 1GR-FEV6 engine, with a displacement of 3956CC, excellent power performance, and exhaust emissions that meet the latest Euro III standards, making it highly environmentally friendly. 2. The advanced engine of the PRADO off-road vehicle provides strong output power and torque, paired with a highly sturdy frame and reinforced suspension system, resulting in considerable off-road capability and passing ability.
I've been repairing cars for many years. The engine number of a Prado is usually stamped on the engine block, specifically in the middle front of the engine, near the oil pan. Let me clarify first—this area tends to accumulate oil and grime, so clean off the dust before searching. Use a damp cloth to wipe it, and the stamped numbers will become visible. In practice, I've handled many Prados in the workshop. If the numbers are blurry, it might be due to corrosion from prolonged exposure to high engine temperatures. I recommend consulting a professional to avoid misjudgment. The key to finding this number is ensuring the car is parked on level ground with the engine turned off and cooled—safety comes first. You'll need this information for registration or when selling the car, so taking a photo for your records saves a lot of hassle. Toyota's design is reasonable; the location is generally consistent across new and older models, though very old versions might have it near the firewall in the engine bay. Overall, it's not too difficult to handle.
