Description

The Land Cruiser 60 gained acclaim for its addition of creature comforts like air conditioning. These little comforts helped Toyota get into the North American market and turn people’s focus towards the Land Cruiser 4WD brand.

With the introduction of the Land Cruiser 60 series in 1980, what once was considered a work horse vehicle was transformed into a 4WD station wagon by making it larger than the previous 40 series and 55 series.

Because it was comfortable to ride in, stable and reliable to drive and was equipped with the latest technology, it gave Toyota a much needed foothold into the North American SUV market.
