The 70 Series is a family of Toyota Land Cruiser models produced from 1984 to the present day. It replaced the 25-year-old 40 Series as the off-road workhorse of the Land Cruiser heritage, while the 60 Series (and later the 80, 90, 100, 120, 150 and 200 Series) developed into more comfortable passenger off-road vehicles. Included in the 70 series range is the Land Cruiser Prado, until it became the Series 90 in 1996. Despite major changes in styling and numerous technological updates, the 70 Series was designed to retain the off-road capabilities and durability for which the FJ40 and its siblings had become known for. The 70 Series continuous in production and marketed throughout the world, except for countries like India, the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Korea.
