I saw some toyota land cruisers that are pickups. how can i get one? and im sure its not a hilux or w/e?

Answer 1

you really just gotta look around. E-bay, autocartrader and other websites are a good start. If you can't find it there go to your local gas station or groshery store, they'll usually have a magaize that advertives people cars. They are usually localed right by the door because their free. Also, if all else fails, you can drive to a trusty used car dealer, and tell them what you want and they'll look for it for you. Of course if you buy it from them its gonna cost a little bit more.


O-ya, and you can find one that has a newer body model but it problably was imported from over seas.

It all depends on what Land Cruiser you saw and where you live.

If you live in North America and the truck was LEFT hand drive, you most likely saw either a 45 series or a 70 series - unless it was something that a person custom built themselves (which happens).

The 45 series trucks were imported by Toyota into the USA and Canada up until 1983. Gasoline engines were brought into the US while Canada got gas and diesel options. Unfortunately there were not a large number imported and many of them have been lost to time and rust. There are a number of LC enthusiast websites such as http://www.ih8mud.com which have an active for sale area. Also most LC specialty shops have an online classifieds section. Check out www.4wheelauto.com, www.sor.com and Rocky Mountain Cruisers. There are also some excellent resoration companies such as Cool Cruisers of Texas that sell restored masterpieces - at a price though.

The other and much more rare possibility was a 70 series. There are very few of these in North America - but lots pretty much everywhere else in the world. These trucks have a more boxy shape which has only gone though minor changes since 1985 or so. Unfortunately Toyota never actively imported these into North America - the only big exception was for use as service vehicles in the mines of northern Canada. As a result, there are a few on the road, along with a few that have been imported from other countries - legally or otherwise.

If the vehicle you saw was Right Hand Drive - well all bets are off. If it is older than 15 years old it can be imported into Canada and from there it can travel to other areas in North America. Almost all of those RHD models are Diesels.

Hope that helps :)

FJ45 trucks were only available from 1963 to 1967--at least in the United States.
