The 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser/ FJ40 was basically a legend that boasted of good features, especially in its ability to surge through rough terrains. It was built with a 3.9L inline-six engine producing 125 horsepower and 210 pound-feet of torque; the crab-shaped gearbox came with a 4-speed manual transmission and a high-strength 4-wheel-drive system. It had fixed ladder frame construction for durable, powerful axels and high ground clearance to master over bent and rough terrains.
