It’s not only the Land Cruiser ‘250 Series’—basically the all-new Prado—that was launched by Toyota today. The Japanese carmaker also unveiled the refreshed 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series, which will one again be sold in Japan alongside the 250 and the 300.
Yes, the 70 Series is still going strong almost 40 years after it began production, and the exterior design tweak fully embraces the model’s retro status. Those three horizontal slats on the bodywork just below the grille are a direct throwback to the earlier models.

Now that is some true retro going on right there. I love it.
I would buy one if I could move into it (because I would have to sell my house to afford the purchase price).

Have you considered becoming a “Biden”?
They’re able to get hundreds of millions of dollars with hardly any work.
All you have to do is deny, deny, deny.
I like a boxy truck-like truck.
Ditto
LOL. Is that the all-terrain vehicle that wobbles on beach sand, can’t handle a bike rack, is popular with sons for trips to the coke dealer, and likes to carry little girls around town?
55k out of mine
Toyota's Land Cruiser to Return to U.S.Toyota Motor is bringing a long-running icon of off-roading back to the U.S.
At an event in Tokyo on Wednesday, Toyota showed off a new Land Cruiser, reminiscent of boxy pre-2000s versions of the sport-utility vehicle. The company said it plans to bring the new vehicle to the U.S. next year, two years after discontinuing the Land Cruiser in that market.
The move resembles Ford’s decision in 2020 to relaunch its previously discontinued off-roading SUV, the Bronco.
Like the Bronco, the new Land Cruiser could put further pressure on rival Jeep’s position in the “adventure vehicle” category. Car companies in recent years have been crowding showrooms with new versions of SUVs and other big, higher-profit vehicles.
The Land Cruiser discontinued in the U.S. in 2021 hadn’t received a major update in years. Starting at upward of $80,000, it struggled to compete in the high-price segment, though it retained a following among some off-road enthusiasts.
The U.S. price of the new Land Cruiser will start in the mid-$50,000s.

Is that $’s, miles, or mpg?
$
That’s not a bad price. Used or new?
If Toyota is willing to bring back the 70 series, it seems almost inevitable that they’d bring back the iconic FJ40. It would be the ultimate Jeep Wrangler competitor.
Imagine going down to the Toyota dealership and picking out a factory new FJ40, this time with proper galvanized sheetmetal. Or even cooler, the J45 pickup variant..
Just think of it as a small class RV.
Sure you got a spare 100k😂
A modern day FJ40 would really get my attention.
Yep. It doesn’t have a bathroom but can drive you to a private place in the woods.
they start at 50k, my new car is 6k $
