The Toyota Land Cruiser has been in production since 1951! Wow. It was designed to compete with the Army Jeep in the old days. By 1980 it became somewhat recognizable to the mass population. Before that it was not on the scene very often. It’s very popular in Australia, where it’s the best selling Truck/SUV there.

Because it is a Global vehicle, sold all over the world, plenty of engine choices are available, although lots of the motors are geographically positioned by country. What that means is only several Japanese  Engines for US made Toyota Land Cruisers were in the lineup, the rest go to other countries with different emission requirements.

Chronologically speaking here is a list of the series of each generation Land Cruiser, beginning in 1951 with the first gen.
