Question:

Does this fit a 1996 KZJ78W Japan Land Cruiser Prado? If so or not, are there any other recommendations? Original OEM Japan hitch pic attached. Want to add an American type hitch for light towing or attach bike racks, rack for coolers, etc.

Expert Reply:

I may have another option available, but as all the hitches we carry are for US market vehicles, I cannot confirm the fitment on a Japanese market 96 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, unfortunately. However, I did include a quick diagram of how the Curt # C12181 hitch will measure as it may still work for your vehicle.

If these measurements do not add up though, the only other thing I can recommend is something like the Draw-Tite Multi-Fit # 5350. This will fit a frame that is 24" to 46" wide and from recent experience with another 96 Land Cruiser Prado, will fit your 39.5" wide frame (when measured from the center of the factory frame holes). This will require drilling to get installed, but if the # C12181 doesn't match up, it will be the best option we have available.
