When the [[Imperial Japanese Army]] occupied the [[Philippines]] in 1941, they found an American [[Willys MB]] Jeep and promptly sent it to Japan. The Japanese military authorities ordered Toyota to produce a similar vehicle but to alter the appearance. The resulting '''Model AK''' prototype led to the Yon-Shiki Kogata Kamotsu-Sha ([[4 (number)|四]]式[[compact car|小型]] [[cargo|貨物]] [[vehicle|車]] ''type 4 compact cargo-truck'').<ref>{{cite web |title=Toyota AK10: The Grandfather of All Land Cruisers |url=https://offroadaction.ca/2011/01/19/toyota-ak10-the-grandfather-of-all-land-cruisers/ |website=Off Road Action |date=19 January 2011 |publisher=Off Road Action |access-date=20 November 2020}}</ref> Later in 1941, the [[Japanese government]] instructed Toyota to produce a light truck for Japan's military. In 1942, Toyota developed the AK10 prototype by [[reverse-engineering]] a [[Bantam GP]]. The half-ton truck features an upright front grille, flat front wheel arches that angled down and back like the FJ40, headlights mounted above the wheel arches on either side of the radiator, and a folding windshield. The '''AK10''' is powered by the {{cvt|2259|cc|L|1|abbr=on}}, 4-cylinder [[Toyota Type C engine|Type C]] engine from the [[Toyota AE|Toyota Model AE]] [[sedan (automobile)|sedan]] coupled to a three-speed [[manual transmission]] and a two-speed transfer gearbox. Unlike the U.S. Jeep, the AK10 had limited use and photographs of it in the battlefield are rare. In June 1954, responding to claims of trademark violation by the Willys Company that produced the original Jeep, then Director of Technology Hanji Umehara renamed the vehicle "Land Cruiser." The postwar Toyota "Jeep" BJ is completely different from the AK10 and inherits no mechanical parts from it. However, a lot of lessons learned while developing the AK10 were applied when developing the BJ.<ref name=toy75>{{cite web | url = https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/text/taking_on_the_automotive_business/chapter2/section5/item8_b.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190303005629/https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/text/taking_on_the_automotive_business/chapter2/section5/item8_b.html | archive-date = 3 March 2019 | title = Section 5.

The [[United States government]] ordered 100 vehicles with the then-new [[Willys]] specifications and tasked [[Toyota]] to manufacture them. The '''Toyota "Jeep" BJ''' prototype was developed in January 1951. This came from the demand for military-type utility vehicles, much like the British [[Land Rover Defender|Land Rover]] Series 1 that was developed in 1948. The Jeep BJ was larger than the original U.S. Jeep and more powerful courtesy of its [[Toyota Type B engine|Type B]] 3.4-litre six-cylinder [[Overhead valve|OHV]] [[Four-stroke engine|Four-stroke petrol engine]] which generated a power output of {{convert|85|PS|kW hp PS|0|abbr=on|order=out}} at 3,600 rpm and {{convert|215|N·m|lb·ft|abbr=on}} of torque at 1,600 rpm. It had a part-time four-wheel drive system like the Jeep. However, and unlike the Jeep, the Jeep BJ had no low-range [[transfer case]]. In July 1951, Toyota's test driver Ichiro Taira drove the next generation of the Jeep BJ prototype up to the sixth stage of [[Mount Fuji]], the first vehicle to climb that height. The test was overseen by the [[National Police Agency (Japan)|National Police Agency]] (NPA). Impressed by this feat, the NPA quickly placed an order for 289 of these offroad vehicles, making the Jeep BJ their official patrol car.<ref name="TheStoryOfLandCruiser">{{cite book |title=The Story of Land Cruiser |url=http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj25-owners-group/241941-toyota-historical-pictures-3.html |year=1985 |publisher=4×4 Magazine Co. |location=Tokyo}}</ref> For the first two years, manufacture was exclusively to order and in small volumes.<ref name=Ruiz>{{cite book | ref = ruizM | last = Ruiz | first = Marco | title = 'The Complete History of the Japanese Car: 1907 to the Present | publisher = ERVIN srl | location = Rome | date = 1986 | page = 186 | isbn = 0-517-61777-3 }}</ref> In 1953, however, regular production of the "Toyota Jeep BJ" began at the Toyota Honsya Plant (rolling chassis assembly). The body assembly and painting was done at Arakawa Bankin Kogyo KK, later known as [[:ja:アラコ|ARACO]] (now an affiliate of Toyota Auto Body Company).<ref name="TheStoryOfLandCruiser"/> The "Toyota Jeep BJ" Series was introduced in the following variants: * BJ-T (Touring), * BJ-R (Radio), * BJ-J (Cowl-chassis for a fire-engine). The next year, the name "Land Cruiser" was coined by the technical director Hanji Umehara. "In England we had another competitor — [[Land Rover]]. I had to come up with a name for our car that would not sound less dignified than those of our competitors. That is why I decided to call it 'Land Cruiser'", he recalls.<ref name="TheStoryOfLandCruiser"/> The name had already been used on the [[Studebaker Land Cruiser]] which was produced from 1934 to 1954. The {{convert|125|PS|kW hp PS|0|abbr=on|order=out}}, 3.9&nbsp;L [[Toyota F engine|Type F]] petrol engine was added to the Land Cruiser range for the first time, originally only in the fire-engine chassis.

It had a more powerful {{convert|99|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} 3.9&nbsp;L six-cylinder [[Toyota F engine|Type F]] petrol engine, but adopted the previous generation's three-speed gearbox.

The petrol engine was replaced with a 4.0&nbsp;L '''3F''' engine. The 70 Light had a four-wheel coil spring solid-axle suspension for better ride quality. This lighter duty version of the Land Cruiser had the '''22R''' 2.4&nbsp;L [[Four-stroke engine|four-stroke petrol engine]], which actually were the '''2L''' and '''2L-T''' (turbocharged) 2.4&nbsp;L [[diesel engine]]s commonly found in the [[Toyota Hilux]]. The 70 Light was sold in some markets as the '''Bundera''' or the '''Landcruiser II''', later called '''70 Prado'''. The 70 Prado eventually became popular and evolved into the [[Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (J90)]]. An [[automatic transmission]] (A440F) was introduced making it the first [[four-wheel drive]] Japanese vehicle with an [[automatic transmission]]. * 1990{{Snd}} New-generation of diesel engines were introduced for the Land Cruiser including a 3.4&nbsp;L five-cylinder SOHC naturally aspirated engine (1PZ), and a 4.2&nbsp;L [[straight-six engine|six-cylinder]] [[SOHC]] naturally aspirated engine (designated the [[Toyota HZ engine|1 HZ]]). * 1993 to 1996{{Snd}} the KZ 3.0&nbsp;L turbocharged diesel engine replaced the LJ in the 70 series in European markets where this model was known as the KZJ70. * 1993{{Snd}} An advanced 24-valve, 4.5&nbsp;L six-cylinder petrol engine, '''1FZ-FE''' was introduced. * 1999{{Snd}} Toyota updated the 70 series in several ways. The solid front axle received coil-spring suspension. The rear leaf springs were lengthened for increased ride comfort and wheel travel. The six-bolt wheels were replaced with five-bolt wheels. Several smaller modifications to the drivetrain provided increased durability. The long-wheel-base models received new designations: 78 for the troop carrier, and 79 for the pickup. * 2002 — HDJ79 was introduced to Australia with the '''1HD-FTE''' 4.2&nbsp;L six-cylinder 24-valve turbodiesel EFI engine. * 2007{{Snd}} Toyota's first turbodiesel [[V8 engine]], the [[Toyota VD engine|1VD-FTV]] was introduced in some countries for the 70 Series Land Cruiser. Other modifications include the addition of a 4-door medium-wheel-base model (the 76) and an updated front-end on all models. * 2012{{Snd}} the 79 Double Cab pickup was introduced in the South African markets (with the 4.2&nbsp;L diesel or 4.0&nbsp;L petrol engines) and in the Australian market (with 4.5&nbsp;L V8 Diesel engine). * 2014 to 2015{{Snd}} the 30th Anniversary Series 70 sold in Japan as a 4-door wagon or 4-door pickup with the 1GR-FE V6 petrol engine and 5-speed manual transmission.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/suvs/1412_toyota_land_cruiser_70_30th_anniversary_edition_first_drive/ |title=First Drive: Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series |first=Ron |last=Kino |work=Motor Trend |date=15 December 2014 |access-date=5 January 2015}}</ref> The Sixth and Seventh generations of the Land Cruiser are still being produced and sold in African and Latin American regions.

The 70 series is also still being marketed in the Middle East as a 2-door and 4-door version as an SUV, and a 2-door and 4-door version as a pickup, and it is very popular there along with the regular Land Cruiser. ==== Gallery ==== {{gallery | width = 200 | height = 150 | File:Toyota Land Cruiser 70 001.JPG|BJ74 Mid wheelbase FRP-top 3.4D-T LX | File:2008 Toyota Land Cruiser (VDJ78R) WorkMate Troop Carrier 3-door wagon (2009-08-21).jpg|VDJ78 Troop Carrier | File:2015 Toyota Land Cruiser (VDJ76R) GXL 5-door wagon (19039611238).jpg|VDJ76 GXL 5-door wagon }} {{clear right}} == Comfort oriented models == === {{anchor|J50}} J50 (1967) === <!-- Wikipedia uses internationally understood calendar years instead of US specific model years --> {{Infobox automobile |name=J50 |image=1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55.jpg |caption=1979 FJ55 (US) |production=1967–1980 |assembly=[[Toyota City]], Japan ([[ARACO]])<br>[[Fremont, California]], United States (1973-1980) |body_style=5-door [[SUV]] |layout=[[Front-engine, four-wheel-drive]] |engine={{unbulleted list | 3.9&nbsp;L ''[[Toyota F engine#F|F]]'' [[Straight-six engine|I6]]<ref name=VIM/> | 4.2&nbsp;L ''[[Toyota F engine#2F|2F]]'' I6<ref name=VIM/> }} |transmission={{Ubl | 3-speed [[manual transmission|manual]] | 4-speed manual (J30, H41 or H42) }} |wheelbase={{convert|2700|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} |length={{convert|4675|mm|in||abbr=on}} |width={{convert|1735|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} |height={{convert|1865|mm|in||abbr=on}} }} The Land Cruiser 55 was produced from 1967 to 1980.

It was the first Land Cruiser to have fully enclosed box frame members.

It had swing-out back doors, which were replaced by a tailgate and hatch in 1994. The Land Cruiser was nicknamed the Burbuja (Bubble) in [[Colombia]] and Venezuela due to its roundness. The J80 was initially offered in two versions in these countries: the fully loaded VX and an entry level model that included a vinyl interior with optional air conditioning. In 1996, the entry model was upgraded to a medium equipped model named Autana, including cloth upholstery, standard air conditioning and power driver seat. The name is a reference to the [[Tepui]] mesa [[Cerro Autana|Autana]], a spectacular plateau and cave system along the [[Guiana Shield]] [[craton]]. Land Cruiser sales reached 2 million vehicles. ==== History ==== * 1990{{Snd}} The '''80''' series [[station wagon]] was introduced, replacing the 60 series. All 80s sold in North America and Europe now have a full-time [[four-wheel drive]] system. In Japan, Africa, and Australia, a part-time system was still available. 80s produced between 1990 and 1991 had an open centre differential which was lockable in 4HI and automatically locked in 4LO. From 1992 onward, vehicles with [[anti-lock brakes]] had a viscous coupling that sent a maximum of 30% torque to the non-slipping axle. The differential was lockable in 4HI and automatically locked in 4LO. * 1990{{Snd}} A new generation of diesel engines were introduced, adding to the engines available in the 80 series. The 80 series came with either a ([[Toyota F engine#3F-E|3F-E]]) six-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, a six-cylinder SOHC naturally aspirated diesel engine, ([[Toyota HZ engine|1HZ]]), or a '''1HD-T''' [[diesel engine|direct injection]] turbo diesel. * 1991{{Snd}} By mid-1991 the [[Toyota F engine#3F-E|3F-E engine]] was introduced to the Australian market, a fuel injected version of the [[Toyota F engine#3F|3F engine]]. * 1993{{Snd}} An advanced 24-valve, 4.5&nbsp;L six-cylinder petrol engine, [[Toyota FZ engine|1FZ-FE]] was introduced. Larger brakes were added from October 1992 and the total wheelbase was made slightly longer. Front and rear axle lockers (code k294) were available as an option. The High Pinion Electric Locking front differential became available in the US models. In May 1993, Toyota began using R134 refrigerant in the air conditioning system. Serial numbers lower than JT3DJ81xxxxx38947 use the R12 refrigerant. * 1994{{Snd}} A limited edition called the Land Cruiser Blue Marlin (FZJ80) was introduced to the Australian market. They have 4.5&nbsp;L straight 6 petrol engines with double-overhead cams, an automatic or manual transmission and {{convert|158|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} at 4,600 rpm. The car is blue from the [[Indo-Pacific blue marlin|Blue Marlin]] fish and they have the Blue Marlin logo throughout the car. Some of the features that the Blue Marlin included were altimeters, power windows, disc brakes, leather gear knob and steering wheel, central locking, leather trim, chrome handles and sidesteps, 16-inch alloy wheels, limited-slip differential, anti-lock brakes (ABS), power steering, CD or cassette players, fender flares, and a limited edition bull bar. Only 500 were made. * 1995{{Snd}} Driver and passenger [[airbag]]s were introduced as were adjustable shoulder-belt anchors and an [[anti-lock braking system]]. The "T O Y O T A" badge was replaced with the modern, ovoid Toyota logo. * 1996{{Snd}} In the [[Dakar Rally]], a pair of Land Cruisers finished first and second in the unmodified production class. North American and British models adopted anti-lock brakes and airbags as standard equipment. The Land Cruiser was withdrawn from Canada this year and was replaced by the more luxurious [[Lexus LX (J80)|Lexus LX 450]]. * 1997{{Snd}} A limited run of Land Cruiser 80 was built specifically for collectors and is therefore called the Land Cruiser Collector's Edition. The Collector's Edition has Collectors Edition badging, "Collector's Edition" embroidered floor mats, automatic climate control, wheels with the "D" windows painted dark grey and special grey side moldings along with black pearl badging. The Collector's Edition was only available for the 1997 model year and the package was added to many of the available body colours. * 1997{{Snd}} A total of 4,744 FZJ80 Land Cruisers were sold in the United States as "40th Anniversary Limited Edition" models. They were available in 2 colours; Antique Sage Pearl (often referred to as Riverrock, Pewter, or Grey) and Emerald Green. The 40th Anniversary models included apron badges, a serial number badge on the centre console, black pearl exterior badges, "40th Anniversary Limited Edition" embroidered floor mats, automatic climate control, two-tone tan and brown leather interiors, and wheels with the "D" windows painted dark gray. Many were manufactured with the optional electric front and rear locking differentials, keyless entry, port-installed roof racks and running boards. There are some examples that did not have many of these optional extras. This was the last year for the electric locking front differentials. * 2007{{Snd}} Last 80-Series models was built in Venezuela<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.toyota.co.uk/history-of-the-toyota-land-cruiser-station-wagon-models |title=History of the Toyota Land Cruiser (Station Wagon models) |publisher=Toyota |location=UK |date=3 September 2013 |access-date=31 August 2018}}</ref><ref name="Motor-Trend-Buyers-Guide">{{cite web |url=https://www.motortrend.com/cars/toyota/land-cruiser/ |title=Toyota Land Cruiser Reviews: Research New & Used Models |work=Motor Trend |location=US |access-date=31 August 2018}}</ref> which was the only country producing the vehicles after production ended in Japan in 1997.

The 100 series was previewed in October 1997 as the "Grand Cruiser" at the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show. Development began in 1991 under code name 404T, with the final design being frozen in mid-1994.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3012/is_n2_v178/ai_20301572/ |work=Automotive Industries |title=New Land Cruiser gets V8{{Snd}} Toyota Land Cruiser{{Snd}} includes related article on the Lexus LX450 |year=1998}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Johnson|first1=Richard|title=Sport-utilities highlight future PLANS|url=http://www.europe.autonews.com/article/19940725/ANA/407250701/sport-utilities-highlight-future-plans|website=Automotive News Europe|publisher=Crain Communications Inc.|access-date=12 February 2017|date=25 July 1994}}{{Dead link|date=January 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> There are two distinct versions of the 100-series, the ''100'' and the ''105''. The two versions look very similar, but there are significant differences under the bodywork. Despite these differences and official model names, both the 100 and 105 are collectively known as the ''100 series''. The ''105'' carried over the majority of its chassis and powertrain from the 80-series with coil suspended [[live axle|solid axles]] front and rear, and straight-6 petrol and diesel engines. These models were only sold in African, Australian, Russian, and South American markets. In 1998, a suspension system combining [[Active Height Control]] (AHC) and [[Skyhook theory|Skyhook]] TEMS [[Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension]] on the Land Cruiser J100 was introduced.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/products_technology/technology_development/chassis/index.html |title=75 Years of TOYOTA {{!}} Technical Development {{!}} Chassis |publisher=Toyota |year=2012 |access-date=16 April 2015}}</ref> In 2002, Toyota introduced '''Night View''', the first worldwide series production '''active''' [[automotive night vision]] system, on the Toyota Land Cruiser Cygnus or [[Lexus LX]]470.

The change to IFS was a first for a Land Cruiser, and was made (in combination with [[rack-and-pinion steering]]) to improve on-road handling. However it also limited the vehicle's off-road capability and durability, hence the decision to offer the solid axle 105 models alongside the IFS 100 models in some markets was made. The table below identifies the range of 100 and 105 models and their worldwide availability. Despite the 100 and 105 bodies being very similar, there are some exterior visual indications between both models. The most obvious is the front end of the vehicle often appearing lower than the rear on the 100 models, due to the IFS. The other indicator is the design of the wheels. The 100 models have almost flat wheel designs, while the 105 models have dished wheels. This difference allows both versions to retain similar wheel tracks, despite the 100 having a relatively wider axle track to allow for the IFS system. The introduction of a V8 engine was also a first for a Land Cruiser, and was specifically intended to improve sales in the North-American market, where it was the only engine available. In Australia, the 100 V8 was initially only available in the range-topping GXV model, while entry and mid-range models were the 105 powered by the [[Toyota FZ engine|1FZ-FE]] I6 petrol, or [[Toyota HZ engine|1HZ]] diesel engines. The new [[Toyota HD engine|1HD-FTE]] turbo-diesel 100 was added to the Australian range in October 2000 after being available in Europe and the UK since the vehicle's launch in 1998. The automotive press in Australia were critical of Toyota's decision to offer the acclaimed 1HD-FTE engine only in combination with IFS. Australian 4WD Monthly magazine stated "We will never forgive Toyota for going independent at the front with the mighty 4.2 turbo-diesel". The 100 series formed the basis for the [[Lexus LX (J100)|Lexus LX 470]], which was also sold in Japan as the Toyota Cygnus. The 100 series was called the Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon in the UK and Ireland from 1998 to 2007. In 2000, Toyota celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Land Cruiser with commemorative models offered in several countries. Total global production to date was 3.72 million vehicles. The 100 series remained in production until late 2007, with several minor facelifts such as headlights, taillights, front grille, rear spoiler and specification changes introduced over the years. {| class="wikitable" |- !

By 2004, 10 years after the design selection of its predecessor in 1994, a final production design was settled on for the 2008 J200. Prototype related tests were conducted for over 2 years between 2004 and early 2007. The redesigned Toyota Land Cruiser was introduced in late 2007. Known as the 200 Series, it shares the [[Lexus LX (J200)|Lexus LX 570]]'s platform and overall design. The frame was new, derived from the second-generation [[Toyota Tundra|Tundra]]{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} but shortened and strengthened by 20 percent. Bigger brake rotors and calipers were added and the front suspension was strengthened. The underbelly is also protected by skid plates. The roof pillars were redesigned to better protect occupants in a rollover. The 200 Series encountered some criticism due to its bland body restyling, with some{{who|date=November 2011}} claiming that Toyota has 'overdeveloped' the classic trademarked Land Cruiser identity in its efforts to fit the Land Cruiser into modern 21st century motoring and vehicle design. The vehicle entered production in September 2007 and was available for sale from September or November, depending on country. It became available in Venezuela for sale in early November of the same year under the local nickname of "Roraima" (taken from [[Mount Roraima]]).
