Reading that nearly 60% of the 300 Series Land Cruiser sales were in the Middle East makes me proud to be part of this community.
It’s amazing to see how deeply our region embraces the Land Cruiser—not just as a vehicle, but as a symbol of strength, heritage, and everyday life.

Last Friday, I hopped into a taxi from Melbourne just after sunrise, the city still wrapped in that cool morning chill. As we drove out toward the coast, skyscrapers gave way to rolling fields dotted with sheep, and the sky turned brighter with every passing mile. By the time we reached the small seaside town, the air was filled with the scent of salt and wildflowers. I dropped my bag at a little cabin near the beach and kicked off my shoes, letting the sand sink between my toes. The waves crashed lazily against the shore, and a flock of seagulls swooped low, their calls echoing in the open air. That evening, I sat on the porch with a cup of coffee, watching the sun melt into the horizon. The ocean glowed orange and pink, and for a moment, the whole world felt still. It was one of those simple Australian escapes that stays with you quiet, warm, and just the right kind of unforgettable.

It's now less than one month until this year's BuschTaxi Treffen!
(BuschTaxi Treffen is an annual German event for Toyota SUV enthusiasts,primarily focusing on the Land Cruiser.)
https://buschtaxi.org/veranstaltungen/buschtaxi-treffen-2025/
I attended it last year, and it was truly a valuable experience.
The event organizer, Alexander, was truly a wonderful person.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to go this year.
But I hope to visit again someday, and I look forward to seeing him again.
If you can go, you should definitely check it out!

Last weekend, my family of four headed out for a summer beach camping trip. At 7 a.m., I opened the Land Cruiser’s door and felt the warm, humid air rush in along with the blazing sunlight. Starting the engine, that deep, steady rumble felt like the perfect signal to kick off the day.
After leaving the highway, we cruised along the coast with the scent of saltwater and the sound of cicadas pouring in through the windows. From the back seat, the kids shouted, “I can see the ocean!”—and I couldn’t help but smile. By the time we arrived at the campsite, my T-shirt clung slightly with sweat, but the sea breeze quickly cooled me down.
That night, we lit fireworks on the beach, chatting as the waves provided the background music. With the Land Cruiser parked nearby, the mix of summer freedom and the sense of security it brings made it a day I’ll never forget.

As a father of two living in Japan and a longtime Land Cruiser fan, I’ve always been fascinated by how this legendary vehicle continues to hold a special place in Japanese hearts. While the Land Cruiser is celebrated globally for its rugged off-road performance, here in Japan, its meaning and usage reflect a unique blend of practicality, culture, and community. As SUVs continue to gain popularity across the country, the Land Cruiser stands out as a symbol of durability and tradition—making it one of the most cherished vehicles in Japan.
The Land Cruiser in Japan is far more than just a capable off-roader. For many families like mine, it’s a daily-use vehicle that offers space, safety, and peace of mind. While Japan’s urban areas are known for compact cars and narrow streets, the Land Cruiser thrives in suburban and rural regions where weekend road trips to the mountains or coastlines are a regular part of life.
In fact, it’s not uncommon to see a Land Cruiser parked next to rice fields in the countryside or loaded up with camping gear outside a supermarket. Its spacious interior, strong build, and long-term reliability make it one of the most trusted family SUV choices among those who value practicality without compromising on performance.
Culturally, Japanese owners tend to treat their Land Cruisers with deep respect. Regular maintenance is a must, and many enthusiasts take pride in keeping their vehicles in top condition even after 10 or 20 years of ownership. There's also a large community of fans who join local Land Cruiser meetups, restoration events, and online forums where they share tips and personal stories. For us, it’s not just about driving—it's about belonging to a legacy.
From my perspective as a Japanese fan and family man, the Land Cruiser represents more than just Toyota’s flagship 4WD. It’s a vehicle that adapts to our lifestyle—serving as both a trustworthy family SUV and a gateway to nature and adventure. Its long-standing presence on Japanese roads is a testament to its unmatched quality and emotional value.
Whether used for road trips with my kids or admired at a classic car event, my Land Cruiser is part of my life’s story. That’s the magic of the Land Cruiser in Japan—it doesn’t just drive us forward; it connects us to something greater.

Just heard about the 70 Series Meet & Greet happening this September 11–14 at Windrock Park in Tennessee🚗
It’s mostly for 70 Series Land Cruisers, but looks like all models are welcome. Trail runs, camping, and a bit of off-road action—sounds like a solid weekend.
Never been to one of these before, but it’s always interesting to see how people build and use their Cruisers in different parts of the world👀

Just yesterday, I helped pull a stuck pickup truck out of the desert—again. Out here in Saudi Arabia, that's almost a weekly thing.
My 2021 Land Cruiser never lets me down, even in deep sand and crazy heat. It's like everyone expects the Land Cruiser to save the day—and honestly, it usually does.
Whether it’s a quick trip to the dunes or a long drive through the Empty Quarter, I trust this beast completely.
It's more than a car—it’s part of how we live out here. Anyone else using their Land Cruiser as the neighborhood rescue squad?

I’m the kind of person who values reliability and adventure equally, so I was particularly interested when Toyota Australia confirmed updates to their Land Cruiser lineup in mid‑2025. Living in regional Australia, I wanted a vehicle that could handle harsh outback tracks and everyday driving with ease.
Earlier this year, I read that Toyota Australia released specs on the 2025 Land Cruiser Prado Altitude model, including a locking rear differential and stabilizer disconnect mechanism for greater wheel articulation—ideal for rough terrain.
https://www.4x4australia.com.au/news/2025-toyota-landcruiser-prado-everything-we-know
I finally got to drive the Altitude variant on a family road trip through the Northern Territory. The 4WD traction, firm stability, and off‑road confidence were immediate standouts. It handled dusty bush roads and river crossings without a hitch—and the interior comfort made the long stretches surprisingly relaxing.
Through this experience, I realized that a modern Prado is not just an SUV—it’s a true Land Cruiser capable of merging durability with comfort, even in Australia’s toughest environments.

I recently read GreenCars.com’s July 2025 review, and wow—what a refreshing take on the new Toyota Land Cruiser!
The review highlights its throwback styling paired with modern tech—round headlights, two‑tone paint, and rugged yet refined cabin with wireless Apple CarPlay and physical climate controls.
It praises the hybrid’s smooth torque and overall trail readiness, noting that even the base 1958 trim delivers confidence‑inspiring capability without overcomplicating things.
