This Land Cruiser is an example of one of the best SUVs on planet Earth. We can’t be any clearer or get more to the point than that.

Skeptical? Let us offer some excerpts from our Land Cruiser (and 3rd Generation Toyota 4Runner located at www.GoMotorsUSA.com) Manifesto:

Land Cruiser is one of the most diverse and influential vehicles in history. Some argue all vehicles evolved from Land Cruiser and the evidence is telling. Many historians concur: Land Cruiser’s origins as a capable land machine capable of cloud-like navigation over the most impassible land and roads in all corners of the Earth —— it’s just plain capable of going ANYWHERE no other vehicles could. It’s origins start with the Korean War in 1951 and Land Cruiser has since evolved to become an armored land machine of choice for United Nations’ aid workers, explorers navigating the harsh territories, for field workers and the other adventurers and navigators in dangerous terrain and frontiers, for avid collectors, and all discerning aficionados in general. It has become an icon of SUV history that will never die: Unmatched, unsurpassed, award winning (many times over), invincible, and incredible. Some models more than others BUT NO LAND CRUISER IS JUST ‘SO-SO’. This FJ-80 is one of the greatest Land Cruiser models ever produced —— no other model more than this model has ever won such off road credibility, awards, and legendary benchmarks in history.

Are Land Cruisers really the greatest SUVs on the planet? Landcruiser, historically, has NEVER been rivaled even by 4Runner -- hands down. Nonetheless, there is yet more telling evidence than mere studies: Scour, comb, research, read any vintage or modern National Geographic or the like or study most ground breaking fieldwork on any frontier, watch the international news, surf the net --- and this is the proof that is not just evident ----- but INDISPUTABLE: Toyota's Land Cruisers…..perpetually and without fail reign formidable exclusivity and are unrivaled as the absolute global winner SUVs on the planet in some of the most far-reaching and inhospitable frontiers on Earth: The Serengeti from Tanzania to Southwest Kenya including but not limited to the Congo, all sub Saharan African Territories, The vast Australian Outback including Uluru and Surrounds as well as all Northern Territories (These territories are where Beta Land Cruisers are tested in the most extreme conditions), Antarctica --- where it is said that Landcruisers go to die but are, in fact, reborn -- and it's surrounding territories and hostile climate and terrain (Land Cruisers, in fact, are one of the only vehicles to navigate the vast iceland in these territories -- albeit with some modification (e.g., Landcruiser AT44 Antarctica Expedition Series--- but they are the starting point that makes 'any' exploration even possible), the triple canopy jungles and forests throughout South America and Asia --- just about anywhere, quite simply, no other SUVs can nor should they go on these frontiers. The list goes on. . . . for decades.

Land Cruiser is so durable as a 4x4 that the United Nations passed a resolution to use it as their GLOBAL FIELD VEHICLE OF CHOICE. Whether armored Land Cruisers are driving civilian aid workers to and from their compounds into vast territories to bring much-necessary relief to all corners of the world or explorers are navigating some of the most formidable terrains on earth or families are driving the kids to school — there can be no argument that Land Cruiser is unmatched in vehicular history and this model is no exception to the rule. Over the years…Toyota has never lost it’s standing as the best and most legendary vehicle on earth but this model is what sets it apart from the rest and branded Toyota historically as the best make ever.

If the U.N. using Land Cruiser as it’s armored field vehicle of choice globally or explorers navigating with it is not enough evidence for discerning buyers there is yet more telling evidence Land Cruiser, and this model in particular, is the global best SUV on the planet Earth. THIS VERY SAME FJ-80 Land Cruiser model REPEATEDLY earned the ultimate in off-road credibility at the Dakar Rally. What is the Dakar Rally? The Dakar Rally is one of the most demanding and dangerous races on EARTH extending from Grenada Spain to Dakar Senegal navigating VAST DESERTS, city streets and some of the most treacherous terrain on Earth (reference: G. Miller LC Heritage Museum). At this race Toyota entered two Model FJ-80 Land Cruisers (like this one) in the unmodified diesel class on 3 different occasions to make vehicular history. NO MODIFICATIONS! AND, FJ-80 WON!!! FJ-80 WON WITH THE SAME FJ-80 model as this one AGAIN IN 2001, 2005, AND 2014. Bear in mind this is the same FJ-80 we have in stock now.

The evolution leading to this model's production is interesting. Being one of the longest standing Toyota brands….Land Cruiser was a military vehicle produced in Japan for American use in the Korean War. At the end of the war in 1953 Toyota had the foresight to continue to produce Land Cruiser and so Land Cruiser survived it’s war origins and that is how it began to evolve and influence and foster the manufacture of ALL TOYOTAS and off road vehicles and the automobile in general thereafter. Some argue that the automobile itself was entirely influenced by Land Cruiser. And further indisputable evidence exists: over the subsequent 67 years Land Cruiser became not just the greatest SUV on the planet — it wins the badge of honor as the most pivotal and influential vehicle in the evolution of ALL OFF ROAD VEHICLES. Yes, we owe EVERYTHING to Land Cruiser in terms of off road, SUV, and the like. This model is one of two in over 67 years of Land Cruiser evolution that branded Land Cruiser the global winner — signed, sealed, and delivered Toyota as “The Best SUV on Earth” as the Dakar Rally 3 time Global winner.

And while one can now buy a new Land Cruiser for a mere starting sticker price of about $90,000 (subject to availability) with (just to name a few!) features such as true night vision and crawl mode…. aficionados want the simpler yet award winning one of two legendary models and, yes, this one is one of those two models.

As proud purveyors of some of Toyota’s most legendary SUVS such as our vast past line up of incredible 3rd Gens (reference www.GoMotorsUSA.com) we are extremely proud to offer this unmodified Toyota Landcruiser FJ-80 (like in the Dakar Rally!) in stock and available today.

PLEASE NOTE: We like to take pics in several different light at different times of the day: early morning / sunrise, mid-day, and evening. We often feel that these subtle differences give buyers perspective of the appearance of some of our vehicles and the variations in color and light may help buyer see what the vehicle looks like all in all. All is aimed to help buyers “see” the vehicle as much as possible in different light before coming out to test ride it.

**CUSTOMERS PLEASE BE ADVISED:  **NO rust implies this vehicle does not suffer from extensive rust issues or the presence of serious rust issue - it is not meant to imply there is not the presence of even a spec of rust on the vehicle.  It merely implies there are no major problems with rust.  We thoroughly inspect our vehicles and try to provide the most accurate description possible.
