1990 HZJ80
Toyota
Vehicle History
This vehicle is typical of a base model or “poverty pack” work truck. The interior is all vinyl with no power accessories and basic instruments. The only options are air conditioning and dual fuel tanks. The only modifications are side stripes with mouldings, aftermarket wheels, trailer hitch and a ubiquitous bull-bar or (kanga)roo-bar.
History
By the end of the 1980s the beloved J6 was ready for an upgrade. During that decade auto manufacturers began introducing more features to vehicles in order to increase passenger comfort. Since the station wagon Land Cruiser was designed for luxury and utility, Toyota decided to provide them in larger quantities.
The J8 appeared in 1990 with a drastic external redesign. This was the most radical Land Cruiser design yet. The interior was wider than the J6 and it was the first model with a leather steering wheel and gear shift knob.
The final design proved to be very popular with the public, selling in big numbers in the United States and Europe. The J8 was one of the most expensive models in Land Cruiser history. The luxury features and emphasis on comfort drove the price up, but the public was willing to pay for it.
