History ġ984–1999: The 70 / 75 series Toyota Land Cruiser took over from the 40 / 45 series of workhorse four-wheel drives in 1984.

For a while (1987 until at least 1990) the BJ73 hardtop was available in the Italian and Spanish market with a VM five-cylinder HR588 2.5-litre turbodiesel-the "B" prefix was applied because the first four-cylinder diesel 70 series came with the 3B. the HDJ78/79), and most recently, the 1VD diesel engine (e.g., the VDJ76). Common engines in the 70 series include the 3F petrol engine (e.g., the FJ70), the 22R petrol engine (e.g. Short-wheelbase models are only in production today for a few select markets.Īs with all Land Cruisers, the letters at the beginning of the model number designate the engine of the vehicle. In 2007, the 76 (four-door wagon) was added, while the new dual-cab models also share the 79 model designation (essentially the same chassis). In 1999, Toyota introduced several updates and changed the model designations, where the long-wheelbase models became the 78 (troop carrier) and 79 (pickup). Models 77 (1990–1999 JDM) and 76 are a semi-long wheelbase four-door wagon in a few markets. These were the successors of the less-well known long-wheelbase 40 Series, such as the FJ45.

Model numbers 75, 78 and 79 referred to the long-wheelbase version, which was available in pickup and two-door troop carrier models. These were the successors of the 40 Series, such as the FJ40. Originally, model numbers 70 through 74 referred to the two-door short- and medium-wheelbase versions.

As a celebration of the Land Cruiser 70's 30th anniversary, Toyota temporarily marketed the Land Cruiser 70 series in the Japanese market for 12 months. The 70 Series was marketed throughout the world, except for countries like India, the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Korea where they were imported and put into commercial or private use. Despite major changes in styling and numerous technological updates, the 70 Series was designed to retain the off-road capabilities and durability associated with the 40 Series. It replaced the 25-year-old 40 Series as the off-road model of the Land Cruiser lineup, while the contemporary 60 Series developed into more comfortable luxury SUVs starting with the 80 Series. The 70 Series is a family of Toyota Land Cruiser models produced since 1984.
