<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://img.youtube.com/vi/kq7yi2Tj4ik/0.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:248px; width:330px&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Toyota Harrier&lt;/strong&gt; is a stylish and sophisticated mid-size &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/crossover&quot;&gt;crossover&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; produced by &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; since &lt;strong&gt;1997&lt;/strong&gt;. Initially introduced as an upscale two-row &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;, the Harrier has grown through multiple generations and is now a distinct model known for its comfortable ride, elegant design, and modern features.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production:&lt;/strong&gt; December 1997 &amp;ndash; present with successive generations.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Class:&lt;/strong&gt; Mid-size &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/crossover&quot;&gt;crossover&lt;/a&gt; SUV (competes with upscale rivals).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body Style:&lt;/strong&gt; 5-door SUV.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seating:&lt;/strong&gt; Typically &lt;strong&gt;5 seats&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Platform:&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Generational Highlights&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Early models shared design roots with the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Lexus&quot;&gt;Lexus&lt;/a&gt; RX.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fourth-generation (XU80; 2020-present)&lt;/strong&gt; is the latest global iteration &amp;mdash; a refined crossover offering strong everyday comfort and efficiency.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Typical Specs (Example, 2026)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engine:&lt;/strong&gt; 2.0 L &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/gasoline&quot;&gt;petrol&lt;/a&gt; inline-4 (171 hp / 207 Nm).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transmission:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/cvt&quot;&gt;CVT&lt;/a&gt; automatic.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drive:&lt;/strong&gt; Front-wheel or optional &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;AWD&lt;/a&gt; (varies by market).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seating:&lt;/strong&gt; 5 passengers.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body Dimensions:&lt;/strong&gt; ~4740 mm L &amp;times; ~1855 mm W &amp;times; ~1660 mm H (varies by market).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Toyota also offers &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/hybrid&quot;&gt;hybrid&lt;/a&gt; variants&lt;/strong&gt; in some regions, combining improved f&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/fuel_efficiency&quot;&gt;uel economy&lt;/a&gt; with smooth performance&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Rush - compact and affordable SUV</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2321/toyota-rush-compact-and-affordable-suv</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/pBjm6q4M/colour-view-white-optimized.png&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:174px; width:330px&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Toyota Rush&lt;/strong&gt; is a compact &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt; designed primarily for emerging markets. It&amp;rsquo;s built to offer &lt;strong&gt;affordable SUV practicality&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;high ground clearance&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;7-seat flexibility&lt;/strong&gt; in a small, urban-friendly package.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background &amp;amp; Positioning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;First introduced in &lt;strong&gt;2006&lt;/strong&gt; and reintroduced in a new form in &lt;strong&gt;2018&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Positioned below larger SUVs like the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; Fortuner&lt;/strong&gt; in Toyota&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt; lineup.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Developed mainly for markets in &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/asia&quot;&gt;Asia&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/south-america&quot;&gt;Latin America&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Africa&quot;&gt;Africa&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Middle-East&quot;&gt;Middle East&lt;/a&gt;, where compact yet rugged &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUVs&lt;/a&gt; are popular.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seating:&lt;/strong&gt; Up to &lt;strong&gt;7 seats&lt;/strong&gt; on a compact platform.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Layout:&lt;/strong&gt; Rear-wheel drive chassis (unusual in this class), derived loosely from the &lt;strong&gt;Toyota Avanza&lt;/strong&gt; platform.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engine:&lt;/strong&gt; Typically &lt;strong&gt;1.5-litre &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/gasoline&quot;&gt;petrol&lt;/a&gt; (naturally aspirated), designed for &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/fuel_efficiency&quot;&gt;fuel economy&lt;/a&gt; and simplicity.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transmission:&lt;/strong&gt; 5MT or 4AT (varies by region).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ground Clearance:&lt;/strong&gt; High compared to similar compact &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUVs&lt;/a&gt;, making it good for rough roads.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design:&lt;/strong&gt; Boxy modern &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt; look with roof rails, high stance, and functional practicality.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because the Rush is sold mainly regionally, its exact specs, trim names, and equipment levels vary by market (e.g., &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Indonesia&quot;&gt;Indonesia&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Malaysia&quot;&gt;Malaysia&lt;/a&gt;, Philippines, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Thailand&quot;&gt;Thailand&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/middle-east&quot;&gt;Middle East&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a close relative (in design intent) to vehicles like the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Daihatsu&quot;&gt;Daihatsu&lt;/a&gt; Terios&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; Raize&lt;/strong&gt; (in markets where both are available).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota RAV4 - compact crossover SUV</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2320/toyota-rav4-compact-crossover-suv</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://img.youtube.com/vi/4Gz_P5PdjAY/0.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:248px; width:330px&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Toyota RAV4&lt;/strong&gt; is a &lt;strong&gt;compact &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/crossover&quot;&gt;crossover&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/suv&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; that helped define the segment when it launched in the mid-1990s. It combines car-like handling with &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt; practicality, efficient powertrains (including &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/hybrid&quot;&gt;hybrid&lt;/a&gt; and plug-in hybrid options), and a reputation for reliability.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name &amp;amp; Meaning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;RAV4&amp;rdquo; stands for &lt;strong&gt;Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel drive&lt;/strong&gt; (though not all trims have &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt;). It was one of the first &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/suv&quot;&gt;SUVs&lt;/a&gt; designed with a &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/unibody&quot;&gt;unibody&lt;/a&gt; (car-based) &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/chassis&quot;&gt;chassis&lt;/a&gt; rather than a &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/ladder_frame&quot;&gt;truck frame&lt;/a&gt;, prioritizing ride comfort and daily usability.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;History &amp;amp; Generations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;First introduced in 1994&lt;/strong&gt; as a compact &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt; concept and entered production in &lt;strong&gt;1995&amp;ndash;1996&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Over the decades, it grew through multiple generations, blending&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/fuel_efficiency&quot;&gt; fuel efficiency&lt;/a&gt;, versatility, and modern tech.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fifth generation (2019&amp;ndash;2025)&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; built on the TNGA-K platform with &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/gasoline&quot;&gt;gasoline&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/hybrid&quot;&gt;hybrid&lt;/a&gt; powertrains.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sixth generation (2026&amp;ndash;present)&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; newly redesigned with electrified powertrains (hybrid/&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/PHEV&quot;&gt;PHEV&lt;/a&gt;), modern design, tech upgrades, and enhanced efficiency and capability.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why the RAV4 Matters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The RAV4 helped popularize the modern compact &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt; segment and remains one of &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&amp;rsquo;&lt;/a&gt;s global best-sellers due to its:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Strong reliability&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Efficient performance&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Hybrid&quot;&gt;Hybrid&lt;/a&gt; and PHEV options&lt;/strong&gt;, and&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Versatile daily usability&lt;/strong&gt; in city and light adventure settings.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<link>https://hormart.com/2319/toyota-fortuner-mid-size-7-seat-suv</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/2015_Toyota_Fortuner_%28New_Zealand%29.jpg/500px-2015_Toyota_Fortuner_%28New_Zealand%29.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:195px; width:330px&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Toyota Fortuner&lt;/strong&gt; is a mid-size &lt;strong&gt;7-seat SUV&lt;/strong&gt; known for its rugged off-road capability, strong reliability, and versatility for both family use and adventure touring. It&amp;rsquo;s built on Toyota&amp;rsquo;s &lt;strong&gt;IMV platform&lt;/strong&gt; shared with the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Hilux&quot;&gt;Hilux&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/pickup&quot;&gt;pickup&lt;/a&gt;, giving it a &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/ladder_frame&quot;&gt;ladder-frame&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/chassis&quot;&gt;chassis&lt;/a&gt; for toughness and durability.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;History &amp;amp; Positioning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;First launched &lt;strong&gt;in 2004&lt;/strong&gt; as a global midsize &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;, positioned above the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/RAV4&quot;&gt;RAV4&lt;/a&gt; and below the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Land_Cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Prado&quot;&gt;Prado&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;It shares mechanical roots with the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Hilux&quot;&gt;Hilux&lt;/a&gt;, which contributes to its &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/offroading&quot;&gt;off-road&lt;/a&gt; strength.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Multiple generations and updates over the years have enhanced performance, comfort, and technology.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Hilux - pickup truck</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2317/toyota-hilux-pickup-truck</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/0RVWRsRt/221019-Toyota-Hilux-SR5-Still-30.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:220px; width:330px&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Toyota Hilux&lt;/strong&gt; is one of Toyota&amp;rsquo;s best-known &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/pickup&quot;&gt;pickup&lt;/a&gt; lines, launched in &lt;strong&gt;1968&lt;/strong&gt; and built across multiple generations with a reputation for toughness and work-ready simplicity. Toyota&amp;rsquo;s own history material notes the early &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/hilux&quot;&gt;Hilux&lt;/a&gt; was &lt;strong&gt;developed and manufactured by &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/hino_motors&quot;&gt;Hino Motors&lt;/a&gt; at the Hamura plant&lt;/strong&gt;, even though it was conceived by &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Type:&lt;/strong&gt; Pickup truck&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Manufacturer:&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota (developed with Hino Motors in early production)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Name meaning:&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ldquo;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Hilux&quot;&gt;Hilux&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; = &amp;ldquo;High&amp;rdquo; + &amp;ldquo;Luxury.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Debut:&lt;/strong&gt; March 1968 (1st generation/N10)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Known for:&lt;/strong&gt; durability, global market presence, and a long-running multi-generation platform.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key timeline&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1968:&lt;/strong&gt; Hilux debuts (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/N10&quot;&gt;N10&lt;/a&gt;), beginning production in March.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Toyota hosts an official &amp;ldquo;Hilux 50th Anniversary&amp;rdquo; history/evolution page covering the generations.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Toyota Global also maintains a &lt;strong&gt;Hilux Vehicle Gallery&lt;/strong&gt; with notable model-year entries (1968 &amp;rarr; 2015, etc.).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why it became iconic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A major modern pop-culture boost came from&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/%20Top_Gear&quot;&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/%20Top_Gear&quot;&gt;Top Gear &lt;/a&gt;(BBC)&lt;/strong&gt;, where the Hilux was put through extreme &amp;ldquo;indestructibility&amp;rdquo; tests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Mega Cruiser - full-size heavy-duty 4wd SUV</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2316/toyota-mega-cruiser-full-size-heavy-duty-4wd-suv</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://img.youtube.com/vi/gV9g1y5hBtA/0.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:248px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota Mega Cruiser&lt;/strong&gt; is a &lt;strong&gt;full-size, heavy-duty &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/suv&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; developed primarily for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/military&quot;&gt;military&lt;/a&gt; and public-service use&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Japan&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt;, with a small number sold to civilians. Introduced in &lt;strong&gt;1995&lt;/strong&gt; and built in limited volume (about &lt;strong&gt;3,000 units&lt;/strong&gt;), it is often compared to the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Humvee&quot;&gt;Humvee&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Hummer&quot;&gt;Hummer&lt;/a&gt; H1 for its mission profile and proportions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;1995&amp;ndash;2001&lt;/strong&gt; (limited run; low-volume).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body/chassis:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;4-door SUV&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;body-on-frame&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assembly:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Japan&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt; (Gifu Auto Body).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrain&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engine:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;4.1L 15B-series &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/turbocharging&quot;&gt;turbo&lt;/a&gt;-&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (notably &lt;strong&gt;15B-FT&lt;/strong&gt; early; &lt;strong&gt;15B-FTE&lt;/strong&gt; in later years depending on spec/period).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Transmission&quot;&gt;Transmission&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; commonly listed as a &lt;strong&gt;4-speed automatic (Aisin A443F)&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering features&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; highlighted several off-road design elements intended for extreme terrain:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hub reduction (portal-style) mechanism&lt;/strong&gt; to keep driveline components higher and improve &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/ground_clearance&quot;&gt;clearance&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;37-inch tires&lt;/strong&gt; and about &lt;strong&gt;420 mm ground clearance&lt;/strong&gt; (Toyota&amp;rsquo;s release figures).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use and legacy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Mega_Cruiser&quot;&gt;Mega Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; saw service with the &lt;strong&gt;Japan Self-Defense Forces&lt;/strong&gt; and other public agencies, with civilian examples becoming rare collector vehicles outside &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Japan&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt; due to limited production and import complexity&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Land Cruiser Prado J90 (90 Series)</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2315/toyota-land-cruiser-prado-j90-90-series</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://img.youtube.com/vi/-uejlnFf1Xw/0.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:254px; width:339px&quot;&gt;Toyota Land Cruiser Prado &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J90&quot;&gt;J90&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (often called the &lt;strong&gt;Prado 90 Series&lt;/strong&gt;) is the &lt;strong&gt;second-generation &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Prado&quot;&gt;Prado&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, introduced in &lt;strong&gt;1996&lt;/strong&gt; as a more independent &amp;ldquo;light-duty&amp;rdquo; Land Cruiser line. It is best known for moving the Prado to &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/ifs&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;front independent suspension&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/wishbones&quot;&gt;double wishbone&lt;/a&gt;) while keeping a &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/ladder_frame&quot;&gt;ladder-frame&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt; layout aimed at mixed road/&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/offroading&quot;&gt;off-road &lt;/a&gt;use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production:&lt;/strong&gt; commonly referenced as &lt;strong&gt;1996&amp;ndash;2002&lt;/strong&gt; for the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J90&quot;&gt;J90&lt;/a&gt; generation.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body styles:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;3-door short &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/wheelbase&quot;&gt;wheelbase&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;5-door long wheelbase&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suspension (notable change):&lt;/strong&gt; front &lt;strong&gt;independent double &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/wishbones&quot;&gt;wishbone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;; rear coil/linked arrangement (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; notes the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Prado&quot;&gt;Prado&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Hilux&quot;&gt;Hilux&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/hilux_surf&quot;&gt;Surf&lt;/a&gt; shared this &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/suspension&quot;&gt;suspension&lt;/a&gt; concept).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4WD:&lt;/strong&gt; typically &lt;strong&gt;full-time 4WD&lt;/strong&gt; in many trims/markets (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; and model summaries note full-time &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt; availability/fitment).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engines (common J90 family)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Engine availability varied by market/year, but widely referenced options include:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3RZ-FE 2.7L petrol&lt;/strong&gt; (added to the lineup in &lt;strong&gt;April 1997&lt;/strong&gt;, per Toyota&amp;rsquo;s lineage page).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5VZ-FE 3.4L V6 petrol&lt;/strong&gt; (seen in J90 model listings/spec tables).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1KZ-TE 3.0L turbo-diesel&lt;/strong&gt; (common early &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt; in many markets).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1KD-FTV 3.0L D-4D common-rail diesel&lt;/strong&gt; (replacing the earlier &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/turbocharging&quot;&gt;turbo&lt;/a&gt;-&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;strong&gt;July 2000&lt;/strong&gt;, per &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chassis codes you&amp;rsquo;ll see&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;RZJ90/95&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;rarr; typically 2.7 petrol (3RZ-FE)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;VZJ90/95&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;rarr; typically 3.4 V6 (5VZ-FE)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KZJ90/95&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;rarr; typically 3.0 turbo-diesel (1KZ-TE)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;KDJ90/95&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;rarr; typically 3.0 D-4D (1KD-FTV)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Land Cruiser J70 (70 Series)</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2312/toyota-land-cruiser-j70-70-series</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/jvLV8826/53030896783-7002ffc516-b.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:216px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota Land Cruiser J70&lt;/strong&gt; (commonly &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;70 Series&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;) is Toyota&amp;rsquo;s &lt;strong&gt;heavy-duty, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/ladder_frame&quot;&gt;body-on-frame&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4WD_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; line introduced in &lt;strong&gt;1984&lt;/strong&gt; and still produced in selected markets. It&amp;rsquo;s built around a &amp;ldquo;work first&amp;rdquo; philosophy - durability, load carrying, and serviceability in remote conditions&amp;mdash;offered as wagons, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/pickup&quot;&gt;pickups&lt;/a&gt;, and troop carriers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Geography / markets&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J70&quot;&gt;J70&lt;/a&gt; remains a core vehicle in regions that prioritize fleet, mining, agriculture, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/military&quot;&gt;military&lt;/a&gt;, and remote-area use (e.g., &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Australia&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;, parts of &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/africa&quot;&gt;Africa&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/middle-east&quot;&gt;Middle East,&lt;/a&gt; and periodic/limited runs in &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Japan&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt;). Toyota &lt;strong&gt;reintroduced the 70 in Japan in 2023&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body styles and model numbers (the &amp;ldquo;76/78/79&amp;rdquo; thing)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Common family shorthand:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;76&lt;/strong&gt;: 4-door wagon&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;78&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;Troop Carrier (&amp;ldquo;Troopy&amp;rdquo;)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;79&lt;/strong&gt;: pickup (single/dual cab, market-dependent)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrains (high-level)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Engine options vary a lot by year/market, but a big modern headline is &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rsquo;s &lt;strong&gt;2.8L turbo-diesel&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Japan (2023 reintroduction):&lt;/strong&gt; 2.8L direct-injection turbo diesel with &lt;strong&gt;500 Nm&lt;/strong&gt; (Toyota announcement).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Australia (current spec):&lt;/strong&gt; 2.8L &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/turbocharging&quot;&gt;turbo&lt;/a&gt;-&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt; with up to &lt;strong&gt;500 Nm&lt;/strong&gt;, with manual or automatic depending on variant.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why it&amp;rsquo;s considered &amp;ldquo;heavy-duty&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J70&quot;&gt;J70&lt;/a&gt; keeps the classic Land Cruiser approach&amp;mdash;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/ladder_frame&quot;&gt;ladder frame&lt;/a&gt;, simple/strong mechanicals, and multiple utility body types&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;which is why it stays in production long after most models would&amp;rsquo;ve been replaced.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Tacoma - pickup truck for North America</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2311/toyota-tacoma-pickup-truck-for-north-america</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://www.planetcarsz.com/img/carros/2023/05/totota-tacoma-trd-pro-2024-01-20230523115813-1280x925.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:238px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota Tacoma&lt;/strong&gt; is a &lt;strong&gt;pickup truck&lt;/strong&gt; produced by Toyota primarily for &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/North-America&quot;&gt;North America&lt;/a&gt; since &lt;strong&gt;1995&lt;/strong&gt;, created as the successor to the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Pickup&quot;&gt;Pickup&lt;/a&gt; in that market. Early models were classified as &lt;strong&gt;compact pickups&lt;/strong&gt;, while later generations are generally classed as &lt;strong&gt;mid-size pickups&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Type:&lt;/strong&gt; Pickup truck (compact &amp;rarr; mid-size, depending on generation)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Layout:&lt;/strong&gt; Front-engine, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/rwd&quot;&gt;RWD&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Market role:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/North-America&quot;&gt;North America &lt;/a&gt;receives the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Tacoma&quot;&gt;Tacoma&lt;/a&gt; where many global markets receive the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Hilux&quot;&gt;Hilux&lt;/a&gt; instead.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Generations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1st generation:&lt;/strong&gt; 1995&amp;ndash;2004 (compact class)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2nd generation:&lt;/strong&gt; 2004&amp;ndash;2015 (mid-size class)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3rd generation:&lt;/strong&gt; 2015&amp;ndash;2023 (mid-size class)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4th generation:&lt;/strong&gt; 2024&amp;ndash;present; introduced with a new 2.4L turbo powertrain family and optional hybrid system.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrains (notable recent specs)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For the 2024+ generation, Toyota&amp;rsquo;s top powertrain is the &lt;strong&gt;i-FORCE MAX hybrid&lt;/strong&gt;, combining a &lt;strong&gt;2.4-liter turbo&lt;/strong&gt; engine with an electric motor integrated into an &lt;strong&gt;8-speed&lt;/strong&gt; transmission, with up to &lt;strong&gt;326 hp&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;465 lb-ft&lt;/strong&gt; of &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/torque&quot;&gt;torque&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; figures).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trims and positioning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tacoma ranges from work-oriented grades to &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/offroading&quot;&gt;off-road&lt;/a&gt; focused models (e.g., &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/TRD&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; variants). For 2024, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; also introduced trail-oriented halo variants (e.g., &lt;strong&gt;TRD Pro&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Trailhunter&lt;/strong&gt;) depending on market lineup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cultural significance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Tacoma developed a strong reputation in &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/North-America&quot;&gt;North America&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;strong&gt;durability&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;resale value&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;off-road aftermarket/tuning support&lt;/strong&gt;, helping it remain a benchmark name in the mid-size pickup segment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It marked a shift toward more on-road refinement while retaining heavy-duty &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/offroading&quot;&gt;off-road&lt;/a&gt; capability, and it is especially known for introducing &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/ifs&quot;&gt;independent front suspension&lt;/a&gt; on many variants.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Identity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Series/generation:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j100&quot;&gt;100 Series &lt;/a&gt;(J100 family)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduced:&lt;/strong&gt; January 1998 (successor to &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J80&quot;&gt;J80&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major variants:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;100&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;105&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;same &amp;ldquo;100 Series&amp;rdquo; name in practice, but different underpinnings (105 kept more &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j80&quot;&gt;80-series-style&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/solid_axle&quot;&gt;solid-axle &lt;/a&gt;hardware for certain markets).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engineering highlights&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suspension:&lt;/strong&gt; Many &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j100&quot;&gt;J100&lt;/a&gt; models used &lt;strong&gt;independent front suspension (IFS)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;a big comfort/handling step for the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; wagon line.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AHC/TEMS:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; introduced &lt;strong&gt;Active Height Control (AHC)&lt;/strong&gt; and &amp;ldquo;Skyhook&amp;rdquo; TEMS on the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J100&quot;&gt;J100&lt;/a&gt; era (market/trim dependent).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrains&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/gasoline&quot;&gt;Petrol&lt;/a&gt; (wagon):&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota developed the &lt;strong&gt;2UZ-FE 4,663 cc V8&lt;/strong&gt; for the wagon model (market dependent).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;Diesel&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota&amp;rsquo;s global info for this era includes the &lt;strong&gt;1HD-FTE 4.2L turbo &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; description (not all markets).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;

<title>Toyota FJ Cruiser - tribute to the classic Land Cruiser FJ40</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2307/toyota-fj-cruiser-tribute-to-the-classic-land-cruiser-fj40</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/hFxL6vdv/2014-toyota-fj-cruiser-01.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:220px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota FJ Cruiser&lt;/strong&gt; is a &lt;strong&gt;retro-styled, body-on-frame mid-size &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/suv&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; developed as a modern homage to the classic &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j40&quot;&gt;FJ40&lt;/a&gt;. It was produced by &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;strong&gt;2006 to 2022&lt;/strong&gt; (model code &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/XJ10&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;XJ10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;), with availability varying by market (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/north-america&quot;&gt;North America&lt;/a&gt; mainly 2007&amp;ndash;2014, while other regions continued later).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key points&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body &amp;amp; layout:&lt;/strong&gt; 5-door SUV with &lt;strong&gt;rear-hinged (&amp;ldquo;suicide&amp;rdquo;) rear access doors&lt;/strong&gt;, built on a truck-based platform, with &lt;strong&gt;RWD (GSJ10)&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt; (GSJ15)&lt;/strong&gt; depending on market/trim.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrain:&lt;/strong&gt; commonly the &lt;strong&gt;4.0L 1GR-FE V6&lt;/strong&gt;; transmissions included &lt;strong&gt;5-speed automatic&lt;/strong&gt; and (in some markets) &lt;strong&gt;6-speed manual&lt;/strong&gt; (4WD only).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production end:&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota announced final discontinuation in some regions by &lt;strong&gt;December 2022&lt;/strong&gt;, with &amp;ldquo;Final Edition&amp;rdquo; runs in the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/middle-east&quot;&gt;Middle East&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Land Cruiser J80 (80 Series)</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2306/toyota-land-cruiser-j80-80-series</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/VfrhpPS/toyota-land-cruiser-80-10924.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:264px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota Land Cruiser J80&lt;/strong&gt; (commonly &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;80 Series&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo;) is the &lt;strong&gt;station-wagon&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; generation introduced as the successor to the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J60&quot;&gt;J60&lt;/a&gt;, positioned by &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; as a more upmarket, globally competitive &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4WD_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt; with increased size, comfort, and equipment while retaining heavy-duty capability.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Also called:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j80&quot;&gt;80 Series, J80&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduced:&lt;/strong&gt; Unveiled &lt;strong&gt;Oct 1989&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Tokyo&quot;&gt;Tokyo&lt;/a&gt; Motor Show) and launched in &lt;strong&gt;early 1990&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Replaced:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J60&quot;&gt;J60&lt;/a&gt;; later succeeded by the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j100&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;100 Series&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body style:&lt;/strong&gt; Primarily &lt;strong&gt;4-door wagon/SUV&lt;/strong&gt; (seating often up to 8 depending on market/trim).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design and engineering&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Positioning:&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota described the 80 Series as a &amp;ldquo;top-of-the-line multi-purpose 4WD,&amp;rdquo; blending a more refined urban image with traditional &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; strength.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Size &amp;amp; market aim:&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota notes the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j80&quot;&gt;80&lt;/a&gt; was broadened and lengthened for competitiveness in key overseas markets (incl. &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/north-america&quot;&gt;North America&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Australia&quot;&gt;Australia&lt;/a&gt;), with equipment raised toward a luxury &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt; level.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notable change (body):&lt;/strong&gt; Early models had &lt;strong&gt;swing-out rear doors&lt;/strong&gt;; many markets switched to a &lt;strong&gt;tailgate + hatch&lt;/strong&gt; arrangement around 1994 (market-dependent).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drivetrain and powertrains (high-level)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Depending on region/year, J80s were offered with multiple petrol and diesel engines (e.g., petrol inline-six and diesel variants, including &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/turbocharging&quot;&gt;turbo&lt;/a&gt;-&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;diesels&lt;/a&gt; in some markets).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reputation and legacy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j80&quot;&gt;80 Series&lt;/a&gt; is often remembered as the bridge between &amp;ldquo;classic tough&amp;rdquo; Land Cruisers and the later luxury-heavy wagons&amp;mdash;still widely used for overlanding and valued for durability. Market/enthusiast commentary also notes strong demand for good examples&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Land Cruiser J60 (60 Series)</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2305/toyota-land-cruiser-j60-60-series</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/KjRjpY3c/d49c580513da989ab9b2078ea45446d1ac4801ea.webp&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:220px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota Land Cruiser J60&lt;/strong&gt; (often called the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j55&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;60 Series&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;; common codes include &lt;strong&gt;FJ60/FJ62&lt;/strong&gt; for &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/gasoline&quot;&gt;petrol&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;BJ60/HJ60/HJ61&lt;/strong&gt; for &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt;) is a &lt;strong&gt;four-door station-wagon Land Cruiser&lt;/strong&gt; introduced in &lt;strong&gt;August 1980&lt;/strong&gt; as the successor to the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J55&quot;&gt;J55&lt;/a&gt;. It kept the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rsquo;s rugged &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4x4_101&quot;&gt;4x4&lt;/a&gt; character but pushed harder toward on-road comfort and family/&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/trucks-101/expedition_kits&quot;&gt;overland&lt;/a&gt; practicality, helping define the modern &amp;ldquo;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; idea for &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rsquo;s wagon line.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Position in the Land Cruiser line&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Predecessor: &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j55&quot;&gt;J55 (55 Series)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Successor: &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J80&quot;&gt;J80&lt;/a&gt; (80 Series) (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; notes the 80 Series succeeding the 60 Series from Oct 1989)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key engineering / layout (typical &amp;ldquo;encyclopedia&amp;rdquo; essentials)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body style:&lt;/strong&gt; 4-door wagon, typically seating &lt;strong&gt;5&amp;ndash;8&lt;/strong&gt; depending on configuration/market.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Market split:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; notes export models as &lt;strong&gt;station wagons&lt;/strong&gt;, while some domestic versions were classified as &lt;strong&gt;commercial-use &amp;ldquo;van.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrains (high-level):&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; highlights an upgrade to a &lt;strong&gt;4.2L petrol (2F)&lt;/strong&gt; and introduction of a &lt;strong&gt;3.4L diesel&lt;/strong&gt; at launch.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design notes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; describes the J60 as having a &lt;strong&gt;substantially renewed exterior&lt;/strong&gt;, plus interior/ergonomic changes like moving from a front bench to &lt;strong&gt;separate seats&lt;/strong&gt; (better driver posture, lower passenger capacity in that configuration).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/wZwSrHjD/IMG-0434.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:220px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota Land Cruiser &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j55&quot;&gt;J55&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (often called the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j55&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;55 Series&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, with common model codes &lt;strong&gt;FJ55&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;FJ56&lt;/strong&gt; in Japan) is the first widely recognized &lt;strong&gt;Land Cruiser station wagon&lt;/strong&gt; line&amp;mdash;Toyota&amp;rsquo;s move toward a more family- and highway-friendly 4x4 alongside the rugged &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j40&quot;&gt;40 Series&lt;/a&gt;. Toyota introduced the &lt;strong&gt;FJ55 station wagon in August 1967&lt;/strong&gt;, and production ended in &lt;strong&gt;July 1980&lt;/strong&gt;, when it was replaced by the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j60&quot;&gt;60 Series&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Type:&lt;/strong&gt; 4-door station wagon / early &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;1967&amp;ndash;1980&lt;/strong&gt; (Toyota notes launch in &lt;strong&gt;Aug 1967&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Role in lineup:&lt;/strong&gt; Start of the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;station wagon&lt;/strong&gt; branch; successor: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j60&quot;&gt;60 Series&lt;/a&gt; (Aug 1980)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design and engineering&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Built as a more spacious, enclosed wagon while retaining&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt; Land Cruiser &lt;/a&gt;toughness; Toyota highlights its &lt;strong&gt;2,700 mm &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/wheelbase&quot;&gt;wheelbase&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/chassis&quot;&gt;chassis&lt;/a&gt; and a newly designed body, replacing the earlier 4-door &lt;strong&gt;FJ45V&lt;/strong&gt; van variant.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Commonly noted milestone: the 55 Series is described by Toyota as the first &amp;ldquo;real&amp;rdquo; Land Cruiser station wagon, marking the wagon/SUV body style&amp;rsquo;s beginning in the series.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrain (typical)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Early models used Toyota&amp;rsquo;s &lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt; inline-six; &lt;strong&gt;January 1975&lt;/strong&gt; saw the switch to the &lt;strong&gt;2F&lt;/strong&gt; inline-six (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Japan&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt; designation often changed to &lt;strong&gt;FJ56&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nicknames and culture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j55&quot;&gt; J55/FJ55&lt;/a&gt; is famously nicknamed &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Iron Pig&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt; (and sometimes &amp;ldquo;Moose&amp;rdquo;/&amp;ldquo;Pig&amp;rdquo;), a term of endearment tied to its distinctive shape and face.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Land Cruiser J40 (FJ40/BJ40) - third gen Land Cruiser</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2303/toyota-land-cruiser-j40-fj40-bj40-third-gen-land-cruiser</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/zW7DyHWm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-40-series-advice-guide-1200x800p-2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:220px; width:330px&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;Land Cruiser gen 3&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; usually means the &lt;strong&gt;3rd-generation &lt;em&gt;heavy-duty&lt;/em&gt; Land Cruiser&lt;/strong&gt;, which is the &lt;strong&gt;40 Series (J40)&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; the iconic &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j40&quot;&gt;FJ40/BJ40&lt;/a&gt; era. &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; itself calls the 40 Series the &lt;strong&gt;third-generation Land Cruiser&lt;/strong&gt;, introduced in &lt;strong&gt;August 1960.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Toyota Land Cruiser (3rd generation) &amp;mdash; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j40&quot;&gt;40 Series / J40&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Also known as:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/FJ40&quot;&gt;FJ40&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j40&quot;&gt;BJ40&lt;/a&gt; (and other &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/wheelbase&quot;&gt;wheelbase&lt;/a&gt;/body variants)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production:&lt;/strong&gt; commonly cited &lt;strong&gt;1960&amp;ndash;1984&lt;/strong&gt; (with extended local production in some countries, e.g., &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Brazil&quot;&gt;Brazil&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Chassis&quot;&gt;Chassis&lt;/a&gt;/layout:&lt;/strong&gt; body-on-frame, selectable &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;4WD&lt;/a&gt;; offered in multiple wheelbases and body styles (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/SUV&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;, pickup, cab-chassis, etc.). &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; notes short/medium/long wheelbases and an added 2950 mm pickup/cab chassis in 1963.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engines:&lt;/strong&gt; widely offered with Toyota&amp;rsquo;s &lt;strong&gt;F/2F &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/gasoline&quot;&gt;petrol&lt;/a&gt; inline-six&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;B/H &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;diesel&lt;/a&gt; families&lt;/strong&gt; depending on market and year.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quick note (why &amp;ldquo;gen 3&amp;rdquo; can be confusing)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some people use &amp;ldquo;gen 3&amp;rdquo; for &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Prado&quot;&gt;Prado&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J120&quot;&gt;J120&lt;/a&gt;, 2002)&lt;/strong&gt; instead (light-duty line).&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Land Cruiser J30 FJ35-V</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2302/toyota-land-cruiser-j30-fj35-v</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/4n9m37km/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-FJ35-V-SUV-1960.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:231px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt; Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; FJ35-V (J30) is&amp;nbsp;the model code for the short-lived &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j30&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;J30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Land Cruiser: an early 4-door station-wagon/&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/suv&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/a&gt;-style body built on the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/J20&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;J20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Land Cruiser chassis, with the wagon body manufactured by &lt;strong&gt;Gifu Auto Body Co.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name/Code:&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j30&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;J30&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, full model code &lt;strong&gt;FJ35-V&lt;/strong&gt; (LHD &amp;ldquo;LV&amp;rdquo; variant also existed).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;February&amp;ndash;October 1960&lt;/strong&gt; (about &lt;strong&gt;9 months&lt;/strong&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body style:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;4-door wagon&lt;/strong&gt;; &lt;strong&gt;5 seats&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chassis:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on &lt;strong&gt;J20&lt;/strong&gt; chassis; key difference is the 4-door wagon body.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dimensions (commonly cited figures)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Overall length: 4,615 mm&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Wheelbase: 2,650 mm&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrain and drivetrain&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Engine:&lt;/strong&gt; Toyota &lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt; inline-six petrol (&amp;ldquo;F engine&amp;rdquo;).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/transmission&quot;&gt;Transmission&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;4-speed manual&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drivetrain:&lt;/strong&gt; Selectable &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4WD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Relationship to later wagons&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Toyota later offered the &lt;strong&gt;J40-based wagon&lt;/strong&gt; known as &lt;strong&gt;FJ45-V/LV&lt;/strong&gt;, which is described as using the &lt;strong&gt;same Gifu-built wagon body concept&lt;/strong&gt; as the J30/FJ35-V.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rarity and legacy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The J30/FJ35-V is often described as extremely rare: it is &lt;strong&gt;thought ~60 were built&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;no publicly known survivors&lt;/strong&gt; are noted in some summaries&lt;/p&gt;

<title>Toyota Land Cruiser J20 (20 series) - second gen Land Cruiser</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2301/toyota-land-cruiser-j20-20-series-second-gen-land-cruiser</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/dsch6tJ0/lend-kruzer-j20-1955-god.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:191px; width:330px&quot;&gt;In Land Cruiser talk, &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Mk2&amp;rdquo; usually refers to the second-generation &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/land_cruiser&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the &lt;strong&gt;20 Series (J20)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;mdash;Toyota&amp;rsquo;s early shift from a military-style 4x4 into a more &lt;strong&gt;civilian/export-friendly&lt;/strong&gt; utility vehicle.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Identity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Common names:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/20series&quot;&gt;Land Cruiser &lt;strong&gt;20 Series&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;J20&lt;/strong&gt;, sometimes &amp;ldquo;second generation&amp;rdquo; / &amp;ldquo;Mk2&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Era:&lt;/strong&gt; Introduced &lt;strong&gt;November 1955&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rsquo;s own history pages).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design and engineering&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Purpose:&lt;/strong&gt; Redesigned to appeal to civilian buyers and export markets, with more &amp;ldquo;civilised&amp;rdquo; styling compared with earlier BJ-type models.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ride &amp;amp; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/chassis&quot;&gt;chassis&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt; Retained rugged truck roots (body-on-frame, leaf-spring style), but Toyota improved usability/comfort for broader markets.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Body styles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Toyota expanded the range beyond a basic &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4x4_101&quot;&gt;utility 4x4&lt;/a&gt; over time&amp;mdash;adding variants such as &lt;strong&gt;pickups&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;wagon/station-wagon&lt;/strong&gt; type bodies (market-dependent).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Historical significance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Often described as a key step in Land Cruiser history because it &lt;strong&gt;helped Toyota build an export reputation for toughness&lt;/strong&gt;, setting the stage for later iconic generations like the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/j40&quot;&gt;40 Series&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Video&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>​Toyota Mark II - mid-size rear-wheel-drive sedans and wagons</title>
<link>https://hormart.com/2300/toyota-mark-ii-mid-size-rear-wheel-drive-sedans-and-wagons</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://i.ibb.co/tpN5TmC0/toyota-mark-ii-1996-pictures-1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:right; height:248px; width:330px&quot;&gt;Toyota Mark II&lt;/strong&gt; is a long-running line of &lt;strong&gt;mid-size (later near-executive) rear-wheel-drive sedans and wagons&lt;/strong&gt; produced by Toyota primarily for the &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/japanese&quot;&gt;Japanese&lt;/a&gt; domestic market.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Introduced in the late 1960s as a more upscale counterpart within &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;Mark II / Chaser / Cresta&amp;rdquo; family (often called the &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;X-platform trio&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;), it evolved through multiple generations, shifting from practical family transport into a popular base for performance variants and aftermarket tuning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/mark2&quot;&gt;Mark II&lt;/a&gt; nameplate was succeeded in the 2000s by models such as the &lt;strong&gt;Mark X&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/Japan&quot;&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt;, while the platform concepts continued in &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rsquo;s broader sedan lineup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Type:&lt;/strong&gt; Passenger car (sedan; some generations offered wagon/estate variants)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Layout:&lt;/strong&gt; Predominantly &lt;strong&gt;front-engine, rear-wheel drive&lt;/strong&gt;; certain generations offered &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/4wd_awd&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4WD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; variants&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Market focus:&lt;/strong&gt; Mainly &lt;strong&gt;Japan&lt;/strong&gt; (with some export equivalents under different names in various markets)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Generations and naming codes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enthusiasts commonly refer to Mark II generations by &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/chassis&quot;&gt;chassis&lt;/a&gt; codes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;X70 / X80 / X90 / X100 / X110&lt;/strong&gt; are among the best-known modern-era codes, each representing major redesign cycles and technology updates (&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/chassis&quot;&gt;chassis&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/suspension&quot;&gt;suspension&lt;/a&gt;, safety, and &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/powertrain&quot;&gt;powertrains&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Powertrains and notable variants&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Depending on generation, the Mark II was offered with a wide range of &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/Toyota&quot;&gt;Toyota&lt;/a&gt; engines:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Inline-four and inline-six petrol engines&lt;/strong&gt; in mainstream trims&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/turbocharging&quot;&gt;Turbocharged&lt;/a&gt; performance trims&lt;/strong&gt; in certain eras (often sharing engine families with Toyota&amp;rsquo;s other performance sedans)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/diesel_engine&quot;&gt;Diesel&lt;/a&gt; options&lt;/strong&gt; existed in some markets/periods&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Culture and legacy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Mark II gained a strong following for:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Durable drivetrains&lt;/strong&gt; and relatively simple mechanical layouts (especially &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/rwd&quot;&gt;RWD&lt;/a&gt; models)&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tuning potential&lt;/strong&gt;, particularly on later X-series generations&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Use in motorsport and car culture scenes, including &lt;strong&gt;drift&lt;/strong&gt; communities, where &lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;/tag/RWD&quot;&gt;RWD&lt;/a&gt; balance and engine swap compatibility made it a common platform.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
