6. Suzuki X-90
The car that made the Land Cruiser nameplate world-famous entered the automotive market in 1960 as a purely utilitarian short-wheelbase off-roader. During the production run, which lasted until 1984 and until 2001 in Brazil, the J40 had dozens of iterations. Because some of them were particularly valuable due to unmatched off-road performance, it gathered cult status among mud-loving enthusiasts. One of them is the FJ40, a version powered by a 3.8L inline-six engine, while the ultimate version was the 2FJ40 with the power coming from a 4.2L inline-six.
The J40 had a few memorable diesel versions as well, with the biggest one being the 2H 4.0L straight-six. While the J40 series was available as two or four-wheel drive, with two or four doors or even as a pickup, the two-door four-wheel-drive model is generally the most sought after one. However, all versions can provide drivers with endless fun, especially since the J40 Land Cruiser is easy to modify and customize any way you want to. As previously mentioned, the J40 can offer phenomenal off-road performance and experience, but be sure to find a four-wheel-drive model to squeeze the most out of this car, although these models will come with a higher price tag.
