Icon

Posted by Richard Robello on June 22, 2007

The original FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser had character, simplicity and genuine utility. Since then there has been a proliferation of SUV brands from a wide variety of manufactures, but none have matched the ethic of the original FJ40. For many purists, Sports Utility Vehicles have all but lost their utility. That’s why the Icon was created. A perfect balance of classic design and modern performance, the Icon is a return to the character and purity of purpose of the original Toyota Land Cruiser. Its timeless styling and cutting edge engineering have taken it to a new level of utility. Hand crafted and custom designed to the highest standards of operation and durability; it is a vehicle without peer for a journey without boundaries.
