Sixty Years in the Biz: 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition

Eager to celebrate the Land Cruiser’s 60th birthday (in America), Toyota has released preliminary details on the 2020 model year’s Heritage Edition before its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show.

Suckers for nostalgia will love the vintage-looking Land Cruiser badge on the SUV’s D-pillars.

Heritage Editions also receive widespread black accenting on the exterior and nixed running boards for a cleaner look.

That said, the price isn’t terrible by current EV standards, starting at $47,200 with leases at $429 monthly." In a not so surprising turn of events, VinFast US has already gone bankrupt.
