The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ is built on the company’s IMV architecture on which the Hilux and Fortuner are also built.

For as long as South Africans can remember, the Toyota Land Cruiser range has been synonymous with rugged capability and a go-anywhere attitude.

With cumulative global sales exceeding 12.4 million units across more than 190 countries and regions, the Land Cruiser has earned its reputation by enabling people to travel into some of the world’s harshest environments.

The 70-Series has been the mainstay of the naming convention and while it’s immensely capable let’s face it, they’re not the most comfortable and the interior won’t win any design awards soon.

The Prado and 300-Series raise the bar significantly, slotting it into the premium bracket in terms of features and pricing which puts it out of the average person’s reach.
