2025 is almost here, but today, we're talking about how Toyota is giving the Land Cruiser a five-speed manual gearbox. Yes, five. As you can tell from the images, it's not the J300 Series sold in certain markets or the J250 Series we get here in the United States. To trace this SUV's origins, we must go back to 1984. That's two years before yours truly was even born. The ancient J70 Series gets an update for 2025, four decades after its launch.
