Year to Year Changes
1991 Toyota Land Cruiser:
Land Cruisers were redesigned as early 1991 models, on a longer wheelbase. Permanently engaged 4WD replaced the prior part-time system with its manually locking front hubs, but the powertrain remained as before. Seating for five was standard, and an optional 3-place third seat boosted capacity to eight.
1992 Toyota Land Cruiser:
Power locks, windows, and mirrors became standard rather than optional. Variable-intermittent wipers also were installed.
1993 Toyota Land Cruiser:
In response to criticism about lack of power, a larger (4.5-liter) engine went into 1993 models. The new engine had dual-overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder, producing 57 more horsepower than before, and 55 more pound-feet of torque. Newly optional were front and rear differential locks for the standard permanent 4-wheel-drive system, including antilock brakes with rear discs (rather than drums). ABS also was available as a separate option.
1994 Toyota Land Cruiser:
Except for a switch from five to nine speakers in the stereo system, and adoption of safety belts with an automatic-locking retractor, no changes were evident in 1994 Land Cruisers.
1995 Toyota Land Cruiser:
Land Cruisers sold early in the 1995 model year were actually '94 models. An updated version arrived in spring of 1995, including dual airbags and standard antilock braking as well as a restyled front end.
1996 Toyota Land Cruiser:
Lexus, Toyota's luxury division, issued its own version of the Land Cruiser this year, called the LX 450.
1997 Toyota Land Cruiser:
A 2-person third seat was available for 7-passenger capacity. Land Cruisers were redesigned for 1998.
