NEXT STAGE: Redesign in 2021
In an era when big SUVs are in vogue, it may seem counterintuitive that Toyota Motor North America would think about voluntarily giving up its fabled Land Cruiser, the 60-year-old three-row luxury off-roader. The future of the low-volume, high-profit Land Cruiser was in doubt, given fuel economy standards and the fact that it bumps hard into the heart of the Lexus lineup. However, sources say Toyota will redesign the Land Cruiser onto the GA-F platform in the second half of 2021.
