1. Toyota of Orlando learns the history behind
the Toyota Land Cruiser!
The 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser in Orlando is one beautiful utility vehicle. At our Orlando
Toyota dealership, many drivers come in expecting luxury and top of the line features.
Ironically, this isn’t the vision Toyota started with. It was strictly for off-roading purposes,
and you wouldn’t have found anything luxurious inside. The first model was produced back
in 1950! We think you’ll be surprised at its evolution! Let’s take a closer look at the history
behind the Toyota Land Cruiser in Orlando!
1950 – Toyota develops the Model BJ, which will later evolve into the Toyota Land
Cruiser.
1951 – Orders come in from militaries and other corporations all over the world.
1954 – After fulfilling special orders, Toyota changes the Model BJ to the Land
Cruiser and mass production begins.
1958 – This is the year American drivers can purchase this utility vehicle.
1961-1965 – The vehicle is a hit and becomes America’s best-selling Toyota!
1991 – Toyota makes a turn toward luxury.
1998 – The first luxury redesign is released.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is a piece of history!
The rest is history! It’s been six decades since the first model was released. The 2013
Toyota Land Cruiser has evolved from a vehicle requested by governments to the perfect
family car. Let’s find out what’s available on this new Toyota, and what makes it the perfect
option for you!
2. You won’t have a hard time deciding on your trim level because there’s just one. There’s no
SE, LE or XLE – just the Land Cruiser. It’s a name that can stand on its own with features
that are like no other vehicle.
The steering wheel is not only trimmed in leather, but heated for the ultimate
comfort on winter days.
The center console features an ice chest. A summer day on the road isn’t complete
without ice cold drinks.
The DVD entertainment system is perfect for kids on long road trips, or even just a
day full of errands.
You’ll never want for more features!
Just because your steering wheel is heated doesn’t mean the Orlando Toyota Land Cruiser is
meant only for city driving. Comfort and off-roading capabilities can meet in a stylish way.
The 5.7-liter V8 engine can tow up to 8,200 pounds.
The engine is responsible for creating 381 horsepower and 401 pound-feet of torque.
Technology is also found in the engine, like VVT-i to make the engine as efficient as
possible. Use the power only when you need it. There are also skid plates to protect
the engine, if you do want to travel off –road.
You can also fit everyone and their friends! No need to take two cars when you can all hop
into the 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser in Orlando. It can seat up to two passengers and you’ll
have nearly 82 cubic feet of cargo space when the kids aren’t occupying the back seats.
