All 70th Anniversary edition Land Cruisers get a 4.5-liter turbodiesel V8 that makes 203 horsepower (151 kilowatts) and 317 pound-feet (430 Newton-meters). The only gearbox choice is a five-speed manual and front and rear differential locks.

Toyota introduced the SUV in 1951 and originally called it the BJ. In 1954, the company renamed that model the Land Cruiser. Since then, the SUV has been an icon for its ruggedness and off-road ability.
