It seems plausible, and as Fred discussed above, he also believes the transmission is the source. I haven't investigated the exhaust mounts yet as discussed above.
For anyone still reading and pondering about this, there is some discussion of clutch slip here;

I'll be keen to hear if you have success with a lower km transmission.
I've done 75,000 hard kilometres on my Prado since I bought it second hand, and the vibration has not gone away, but nor has it gotten worse. I've just ticked over 150,000km, and I'm confident it will do another 150,000km with the vibration still there.
If the clutch is worn from this ecu/rpm top gear hunting, shouldn't we see slipping starting to occur under different conditions other than the slight incline and 60km/h conditions that most have observed it???
Why does this occur only for some Prados and not all???
It's great to have a mechanic who is interested in this issue, and I hope you come up with some hardcore evidence!
How many km's do you have on your 08?
Best
