The Toyota Land Cruiser has become an icon of all-wheel drive and
all-terrain vehicles. Toyota first developed the original BJ Series
in the early 1950s as this type of all-wheel drive utility vehicles
were needed for the U.S. Military stationed in Japan. Beginning in
1954, the Land Cruiser nameplate was first used starting with the
Series 20 and then the Series 40 in 1960. U.S. imports began in
1963, quickly becoming Toyotas best-sellers in the U.S. during the
mid-1960s. Land Cruisers were offered in various wheelbases along
with many styles, including a pickup and hard and soft top
configuration. Toyotas have long been known for their reliability
and durability.
