History of Land Cruiser
The history of the Land Cruiser began from the birth of the Toyota Jeep BJ in 1951. It enjoys the longest history of the current Toyota lineup and is the pioneer of Japanese cross-country type 4WD vehicles. Its durability has a favorable reputation, and has gained absolute confidence as being a car that only breaks under circumstances beyond ones control.
The Land Cruiser has evolved together with each generation for over half a century with 10 successive generation of models. This in an introduction to each successive model.
