Default this is the true descendant of the fj40

The Fj cruiser was Toyota's idea of a modern land cruiser fj40 with modern styling and more creature comforts..

but in my opinion the land cruiser 71 is really the true descendant of the fj40

here is the Land Cruiser fj40







and this is the Land Cruiser 71, still made to this day in Japan plant and sold to select markets overseas.
Available as a hardtop or a soft top.
power trains vary from the 1hz straight 6 diesel , the 1GR-FE v6 petrol or in some rare cases the 1VD-FTV v8 with a single turbo diesel, all mated to a 5 speed manual.

Available with locking hubs, front and rear diff locks and an electronic winch! Standard they come with 1 airbag ( driver ) but they can be optioned out with 2 airbags ( driver + passenger ). Electric windows are optional.

here is the soft top version
















hard top version

If they sold that here, I would agree, but until then, I'm sticking with my FJ since we all know only the US market matters! (An obviously tongue-in-cheek biased statement).
