History of the Toyota Land Cruiser

[@BF109G4]

what a magnificent car, I live in Saudi Arabia and I'm proud of my 80 series Land Cruiser. thanks for the clip, I really live it.

[@zeeb7846]

I've put 19k km on my 2015 Prado 4.0 L 271 hp so far. Runs like a champ. Drove it through the Saudi desert all the way from Qatar to Jordan and back. 8 hours driving against the wind in a blistering sandstorm. not even a hiccup. My family and arrived safely. It really means a lot to know that you can depend on your car to get you there and back...

'I think 80 series Land cruisers are the best looking and SUV character defining designs ever. In all the SUV universe.

[@edenseensindestructibles7527]

Nope, The 60 series :)

[@mrmarkus7181]

This deserves more views

[@kunalshetty4364]

I love the 100 series land cruser :)

[@ioannisiordanidis3562]

Thank you for telling the story of the cruiser Andrew, its a true icon. PS: the first prototype was build for a US army commission to aid in the Korean war effort. Toyota lost the bid, Mitsubishi won, with a licensed version of the Willis. Toyota persevereer with their prototype, climbed up to a base station in Fuji, got their first order from the fire brigade of Japan, and the rest is history, that you so kindly told. Thank you! Ioannis

[@turbodiesel2822]

I agree 80series is the best suv thats why I got one and never to be sold, for life..

[@drivinggod1991]

For me, if I was buying a Land Cruiser, I'd probably go for a petrol straight six, a normally aspirated whether it's a four or six cylinder version diesel or a late 100 series turbo diesel with the 1HD-FTE.

[@qrk5001]

Cool video. I have a '72 FJ40 with 37" tires, a lift, and a 350 small block V8

[@Mertesacker1]

The 80's series are the best

[@wodanowitz]

Thanks for this interessting video, Andrew!

[@USA4thewin]

starts at 78 grands man,, am holding on to my 80 series

[@vickfan203]

I own a 2002 Toyota Landruiser, I love her.

[@ActionRC4WD]

Interesting history of toyota land cruiser!

[@47Rolling]

Best car of all time hj47 ute. I still get an offer a week on mine.

[@Nave4x4]

@Charles2337 they are based on willis mb... the J in the model codes actually means "Jeep"...

[@dx80cruiser]

@2.29 is a base model 80 series. The car I own. Awesome!

[@Land_Cruiser_40]

1:50 Wrong information here I think. 'FJ' or 'BJ' has nothing to do with luxury or utilitarian versions, it has to do with the engine and the model. The 'BJ40' would have the B-engine (3000 cc diesel), 'J' stands for 'Land Cruiser' and '40' is the name of the model (in this case a short wheelbase). The FJ45 would have the F-engine (4000 cc petrol), 'J' stands for 'Land Cruiser' and 45 is the name of the model (in this case a long wheelbase). Same for FJ5*, FJ6*, BJ6*, HJ6*, HZJ7*, KZJ7*, LJ7*, ... Cheers

[@jacobbandman4493]

Land Cruiser wrong. Fj was a petrol and Hj is diesel. Correct with the model numbers tho

[@landcruiserjunky]

Jacob Bandman , also incorrect. The other comment was correct as far as it went. The HJ is a landcruiser with an H series Diesel engine the BJ had a B series Diesel and the FJ had an F series engine.

[@dx80cruiser]

Hi, just a slight correction, the 100 series was introduced in 1998 not 2001. Well in Australia we got it in 1998, Sth Africa might have got it later.

[@alanglinster4455]

dx80cruiser 105 series in 98 100 series in 2001 some countries didn,t get the 105

[@mecagodzilla3]

@@alanglinster4455 100 series ifs sold already in 1998 in many markets!

[@mahin5880]

There r about 100 land cruisers of 70 and 80 series in Bangladesh Navy. Mostly the 1984 fj70s. But I love the 80 series station wagon more. Ha Ha!

[@nerblebun]

I had a 75 Landcruiser with a 350 chevy V8,8 ton winch,warn locking hubs,factory 6'lift...... that sweet mamma would climb a wall.

[@4xoverland]

@ihaveairlockers I wish you wouldn't gloat so much.... We don't even have the LC Trooper! But we did have the 1HD-FTE in the 100, in the IFS version, VX only. We are still driving the 76-wagon with the 1HZ... it's a bit of a dog. And it's not poor fuel quality that prevents us having the V8 diesel, because we get in in the 200, but also VX version only. Best wishes from SAfrica.

[@thebige7302]

Up the 70 series, they are super popular in australia

[@norwester7018]

Really sad how the US has gotten the shaft on the LC the last few generations. not sure, but I believe we never actually got the 43 (my fav 40). We never got the 70-series (IMO the best 4wd truck around, I miss mine, it stayed in Australia sadly), we didn't get the 105 (Turbo-diesel/Manual :drool:) in fact we've never gotten Diesel engines or manual tranny's since the 62-Series showed up. No part-time T-cases either since the 80. and now no SFA's anywhere but the 70-ser... Which we don't get :(

[@RealyGamer234]

2 door Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is known in Venezuela as Meru

[@theguyyah]

[@jan585]

[@AbdiPianoChannel]

In the third world countries, Land cruiser was also used as war machine.

[@Shanuukhan]

70 series the best ever built

[@Ezalian]

3:10 "Which in 2002 was redesigned and in my view was the first land cruiser to look a bit like a girl" hahahaha..

[@FilimStar]

Ouch... my prado looks like a 'girl'.... :-( but yes i agree. 80 series is an awesome machine.

[@unfamouschap5366]

[@4xoverland]

@qrk5001 Lot's lots more Toyota land Cruisers on 4xforum.com. I own one - my third.

[@ruirosa2009]

true toyota land cruiser story, 1st, buy a jeep and a land rover and do reverse engenering, 2st chose a name close to the best offroad of the time , easy Land ...ah ah cruiser, 3th always copy a Land Rover or Jeep product in a 6 month time frame, 4th use 12 hours a day and only a week hollydays japanese worker.

[@jdelorenzojr001]

BUYER BEWARE ! Toyota Frames RUST through ! I have a 2007 Tacoma and the frame is a rusty piece of shit. Toyota refuses to do anything to make it right. Look up Rusty Frames Tacoma ! You find thousands of Tacoma owners with the same problem. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN ! If you have frame rot on your Tacoma post every place possible and hit Toyota where it hurts !

[@ericrodriguezpintle7302]

xD

[@saltypredator505]

That's the Tacoma. Tacoma is known to be a budget build. Not the same case as the land cruiser

[@REAL4wd]

200 IS THE WORST SELLING SUV IN USA, less than 13.000 sold in 6 years, that car has noting to offer for 70 grand price tag.

[@anterolindsted]

IT JUST WORKS! Anywhere & everywhere...
