This is such a great detailed history of the iconic Landcruiser. It deserves more views and likes.

Here in Australia, the 55 Series LandCruiser is colloquially known as "The Iron Pig".

Fantastic summary. But you missed the 105 Series. Maybe you didn't get them in North America (just like the 70 Series which are considered legends here in Australia). The 105 Series is essentially a 100 Series with an 80 Series chassis - solid front axle, instead of the 100 Series' IFS setup. They were only offered in the first few years of the 100 Series release, and only in the lower spec variants - they were targeted at farmers, first reponders, resource & utility companies. Here in Australia, they are now highly sought after by hard offroad wheelers. They give a more modern and comfortable interior of the 100 Series with the offroad uber capable chassis of the 80 series.

thanks so very much to make a presentation that answers all my questions and some I didn't know I had... THANKS AGAIN and I'll be subscribing to your channel 😉

I believe the biggest error Toyota US did with 200 Series Land Cruiser was only import the top spec variant. If they imported various varients, including the lower spec Land Cruiser GX (different to the Lexus GX), it would have been more affortable. Here in Australa, the price percentage difference between the low spec GX variant against the top spec Sahara variant is as much as 43%-45%. 🫨 The Prado also replaced the 4Runner in Australia. I wish we are getting the new 4Runner soon to be released. Instead we get the Hilux based Fortuner.

great video
