The Japanese automaker kicked off the month of August in the most spectacular way possible – a show of force featuring the presentation of the all-new 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser (250 or Prado in some regions).
The official reveal took place at home in Toyota City, Japan, where the latest off-road focused SUV will be known as the Land Cruiser 250 to ensure people won't confuse it with the J300 Land Cruiser presented during the summer of 2021. Concurrently, in some territories, it will be known as the Land Cruiser Prado, a moniker associated with the smaller sibling of the family.
But in America, where it will return during the spring of 2024 after a three-year hiatus that probably felt like an eternity for diehard fans, it suffices to be called the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, even here is an addendum. At least initially, the company will sell just three grades – a 5,000-unit (for all of North America) Land Cruiser First Edition, the base mid-$50k Land Cruiser 1958, and the regular Land Cruiser.
While all three of them feature the same powertrain, the 326-hp i-Force Max hybrid 2.4-liter turbo inline-four mill from the 2024 Tacoma, the First Edition and 1958 versions have a different front fascia from the standard Land Cruiser. Basically, Toyota's designers hit a genius stroke by allowing people to select a trim that honors either the off-road-oriented models like the initial BJ, FJ, J20/30/40/70 series, or the comfort-oriented iterations like the post-facelift J60 and J80.
Naturally, this worldwide introduction attracted a lot of attention from everywhere, including the rumor mill, where now there are talks about the next cool 'Yota being a Corolla Cross-based unibody compact pickup truck (think Stout revival), as well as the imaginative realm of digital car content creators. As far as the latter is concerned, it seems the vintage styling is not enough to cater to its origins, and virtual artists are further honing classic skills like the three-door soft-top convertible SUV lifestyle and now also the commercial-oriented venues.
More precisely, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation-based virtual artist Aksyonov Nikita has prepared a fresh take on the latest Toyota - a couple of Land Cruiser trucks with cargo beds behind the cabin. In his vision, the four-door Land Cruiser pickup truck could easily slot above the Hilux model across overseas regions, while in America, it would probably be tucked between the N400 Tacoma and XK70 Tundra. And, for sure, the 2024 Land Cruiser looks pretty darn cool with a cargo bed attached to its body-on-frame platform.
But wait, as that is not all. Instead, the pixel master also dreamed of a Toyota Land Cruiser pickup truck that could rule undefeated across all terrain – and made it a 6x6 monster! So, which one is your favorite now?
