History of the Toyota Land Cruiser

[i7rs]

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

[guillepi1967]

The 80" es best the..... best off road

[rrbushby]

The Prado came out well before 1995, and the first of the 100 series started to appear in 1998, not 2001.

[jan585]

for me it would be an pre 1995 80 series, 12HD-T and 3 diff locks

[TheUnDeRGRouNDHoBo]

40 to 42 series tojo``s best cars ever built 

[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.

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

[4xforum]

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

[seanbagsss]

@qrk5001 who cares brah , you took a landcruiser and ruined its reliability, you probably put on a queer soft top too

[qrk5001]

@seanbagsss Actually, asshole, I bought it the way it was and it never had a roof. Nice try tho

[bonaji2010]

God i love the Fj40 i will modify a 1984 modle the worest mistake i have ever made that i sold my land crouiser 60 serise it was 1985 modle.. i stell regrd it up to the date.

[africansafari2378]

toyota LC200! 1FD-FTV! 4.5L twin-turbo V8 diesel :D

[Seattlecarnut]

Fascinating history. I prefer the classic Land Cruiser for their utility over the more luxurious SUVs.

[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..

[Shanuukhan]

70 series the best ever built

[ihaveairlockers]

I feel sorry for the poor beggers from Africa who can't have the twin turbo V8 Diesel landcruisers due to poor fuel quality.

Oh well.

And it's sad Africa never got the 1HD-FTE engine in the 100 series...Oh well, you should move to Australia ( the land of all good 4x4 goodies )

[4xforum]

@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.

I love my fj-62 i can sit 5 people pretty comfortably, and still go through the same terrain that the bj40 goes through. Also something that ypu just can't do in the bj40 is put down the back seats and have a place to lay down after a long day a 4x ing

[Charles2337]

They used to look like Jeeps.

[MegaG15]

@Charles2337 So did every 4x4 back then :) Willy's Jeep

[Nave4x4]

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

[uneven45]

lAND rOVER DEFENDER AND SERIES RULES....

[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.

[the82spartans]

HA! He called the newer series the first to look like a girl!

I luv my FJ 60 but it a cryin' shame the 12HT turbo diesel didn't make it to the states... a damn shame.

Thanks for the video!

[number1Schumacherfan]

G wagen for life.

[vickfan203]

I own a 2002 Toyota Landruiser, I love her.

[godzillaisnuclea123]

i never really liked these cars but now i am changing my mind along with defenders series lanies and rangies these land criusers look awsome apart from the 2007 one my fav is the bj40 model

[topgeardog23]

the 70 series bundera's rule

[mduran17]

the Land Crusier 70 series are the best!!!!

[1bentley4ever]

@mduran17 it's sooo sad the US doesn't have the 70 series. We do have a luxury Prado called the Lexus GX, and have the Land Cruiser petrol V8s and the luxury version, the Lexus LX50.

[iheart4wheeldrive]

I love landies, but I am totally in love with the 70 series
