Our Toyota Landcruiser was made in Japan. It is a brick outhouse with no
leather interiors, airbags or automatic transmission. It is a 1989 and
just keeps going and going. We had a Toyota in Iran in 1978 and decided to
buy another one when we came back to the States. It may last 5 lifetimes.
The windows don't roll up or down. The radio antenna is broken. We haul
chicken feed and lumber and everything else in it. It is my vehicle of
choice for errands but not for long trips - that would be the Toyota Lexus
with leather interior, airbags, and automatic transmission.
