Land Cruiser 60th Anniversary Edition is a domestically produced SUV-level vehicle released by Land Cruiser in 2012. Engine of the Land Cruiser: Engine model 3956, cylinder volume (cc), naturally aspirated intake method, V-type cylinder arrangement, 6 cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, compression ratio 10, DOHC valve train, bore 94, stroke 95. Chassis and steering: Front-engine four-wheel drive, central differential structure, front suspension type double-wishbone independent suspension with coil springs, rear suspension type four-link non-independent suspension, power steering type mechanical hydraulic power, safety configurations including driver airbag, passenger airbag, front side airbags, and rear side airbags.
As a long-time Land Cruiser enthusiast, I must say the 60th Anniversary Edition was produced in 2011, exactly 60 years after the debut of the first generation in 1951. This special model was designed exclusively to commemorate this milestone, featuring limited production numbers, exclusive 60th Anniversary badging, unique gray paintwork, and retro-inspired interior styling. I still remember the excitement when I first saw it at an auto show that year - with minor engine upgrades and suspension tuning optimized for comfort, Toyota poured its heart into both design and engineering. When launched in 2011, it was only available in select markets like Japan and the Middle East with limited production numbers, making it a collector's darling in today's used car market. The entire 60th Anniversary celebration wasn't just about honoring history, but also showcasing the Land Cruiser's evolution from utilitarian off-roader to luxury SUV - truly remarkable to witness this model's transformative journey.
