"Prado SXE" diesel?

saw this in Miami while on a business trip. Looks like an 80s Landcruiser but a diesel?? And, the rear doors look like an Isuzu trooper...didn't Landcruisers have a hatch?

Just curious, it really caught my eye...are these rare? Gray market truck?

If you think that's cool check out the "Bundera" version from the early eighties (I just wikipedia'd the Prado and came across it.)

As soon as I get the funds, I am going to import a Toyota diesel into the States (not sure which model, maybe a dual cab pickup). I want one so bad.
