The 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition marked the end of an era in North America. With Toyota discontinuing the Land Cruiser here after the 2021 model year, special-edition 200 Series trucks like this one have become even more desirable among collectors and enthusiasts. Offered by RMR 4×4 in Birmingham, Alabama, this 2020
Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition for sale shows a little over 10,000 miles and was listed at $139,800. One of just 1,200 produced, it also benefits from an extensive overland-focused build that makes it stand out even among Heritage Edition trucks.
Tomorrow, we can be sad about the Land Cruiser’s departure from North America. Today, it makes more sense to appreciate what Toyota gave us, especially when it looks like this.
The Model
In February 2019, Toyota introduced the Land Cruiser Heritage Edition at the Chicago Auto Show as a tribute to the 60th anniversary of the FJ40’s introduction to the U.S. market. Production was limited to just 1,200 units, and all Heritage Editions were configured as five-seat models, deleting the third row to reduce weight and free up additional cargo space.
For an added premium over the standard
Land Cruiser, the Heritage Edition included several visual and functional upgrades. Among the most notable were 18-inch bronze-colored BBS wheels, vintage-style exterior badging, a Yakima MegaWarrior cargo basket, and the deletion of the standard running boards for improved ground clearance.
At its core, the 200 Series Toyota Land Cruiser is powered by a 5.7L V8 producing 381 horsepower and 401 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. As with many modern Toyota trucks and SUVs, the powertrain developed a reputation for durability and long-term reliability. But capability has always been the Land Cruiser’s real calling card.
Every 200 Series Land Cruiser came standard with full-time four-wheel drive, a 2-speed transfer case, and Toyota’s Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS). That hydraulic system automatically adjusts sway bar function based on terrain, improving articulation off-road while helping maintain stability on pavement. The Land Cruiser also offered crawl control, multi-terrain traction management, and off-road electronics designed to improve control on difficult surfaces.
In Heritage Edition trim, the
Land Cruiser offered 8.9 inches of ground clearance along with strong approach, departure, and breakover angles in stock form. Built examples like this one take that capability even further, transforming an already formidable SUV into a serious long-range overland platform.
The Specs
Finished in Blizzard Pearl over black leather, this 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser Heritage Edition appears to have been modified extensively while retaining the comfort, technology, and refinement expected from a flagship Toyota SUV. The build leans heavily toward overland use, with upgraded suspension, armor, recovery equipment, lighting, storage, and wheel-and-tire upgrades.
