The Toyota Land Cruiser is Toyotaâs longest-running brand and one of the most reputable vehicles in the auto industry. It was first produced in 1951 and underwent multiple generational reinventions until becoming the full-size SUV known today. As of 2019, there have been over 10 million units of the Toyota Land Cruiser sold worldwide. Despite global popularity, the SUV has seen a significant drop in sales in the U.S. market. As such, Toyota has opted to discontinue the Toyota Land Cruiser in the U.S. and Canada starting in 2021.Â

Additionally, there is only one wheel choice,18-inch, which gifts enough room on the sidewall for off-roading without the requirement of modification. Pre-owned 100 series models may offer larger diesel engines and manual capabilities.
