The Toyota that is affectionately known as the "Iron Pig" is the FJ55 Land Cruiser, an SUV that was built from 1967 to 1980.
Its development of go-anywhere, do-anything off-road vehicles would continue, but it would also pursue more consumer-friendly, recreational-type vehicles that could still go off-road, but within a less extreme set of situations.
In fact, our review of the most recent version of the Toyota Land Cruiser appreciated its torque-rich hybrid engine and genuine off-road talents.
The FJ55 Iron Pig Land Cruiser is so-called because some can see a pig's face formed by the FJ55's small, inboard headlights, with the vehicle's hood and grille imagined to be the pig's head.
The six-cylinder engine was upgraded to 4.2 liters and 135 horsepower in 1975.
