The L family first appeared in October 1977, it is a series of 4-cylinder diesel engines. It is the first diesel engine from Toyota to use a rubber timing belt in conjunction with a SOHC head. Engines like 2L-II and 2L-T are still in production to the present day. Vehicles with the diesel engine were exclusive to Toyota Japan dealership locations called Toyota Diesel Store locations until the sales channel was disbanded in 1988.
The Land Cruiser name was applied to the BJ in 1954 and five million of these tough trucks have now been sold around the world.
