What came before the FJ40?
The taproot of the Cruiser family tree stretches back past the FJ40 to a vehicle called the BJ, which descends from a 1950 4x4 prototype called the AK10. The BJ was Toyota's first 4x4 utility vehicle and was powered by the company's prewar B-type 75 hp engine. This sturdy 3.4L (206.6 c i.) six-cylinder unit, intended for use in medium-light trucks, not only was perfect for the BJ but set a pattern the Land Cruiser line followed for decades.

When the Land Cruiser came to the USA?
Initially, Land Cruisers quickly found their way to Venezuela, Malaysia, Kuwait, Jordan, Dubai and Australia, where they were ideally suited to challenging driving conditions in those countries. Finally, in 1958, Land Cruiser came to the United States. Just one unit was sold in that first year.
