Toyota Land Cruiser 100 Series (1998 to 2007)

In January 1998, the 100 series Land Cruiser was introduced to replace the 8-year-old 80 series. According to Autotrader, "the 100 finally saw the change from mostly luxurious to a full-on luxury SUV". In the US, where the model designation was the Land Cruiser UZJ100, it dropped the 6-cylinder 4.5L 1FZ-FE in favor of the 4.7-liter 2UZ-FE V8, and it added a long list of upscale features that only grew as the years went on. And now that the 25 year import rule is applicable to the model, variants for the rest-of-world (ROW) and for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) have begun to appear in the US. Notable variants for those markets include the gas powered UZJ100 and FZJ100, but also the diesel powered HDJ100 and HZJ100. For model year 2008, the 100 Series was replaced by the 200 Series Toyota Land Cruiser.
