Toyota – other models: the collective page of commercial vehicles outside the named ranges, from the Land Cruiser (150 and 200 series, VDJ diesel engine) through the Hilux and Tundra to the ProAce Max, 71 to 321 kW
This page gathers Toyota commercial vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – above all variants of the off-road Land Cruiser, plus the Hilux pick-up, the American Tundra pick-up and the PSA-based ProAce Max van. The Land Cruiser has been built since 1951 and ranks among the most durable off-roader ranges in the world; the VDJ200 designation in the register denotes the V8-diesel version of the 200 series with Toyota's 1VD-FTV engine. A few models come from specialist bodybuilders who convert Land Cruiser chassis for special purposes.

The register lists 22 versions here with four- to eight-cylinder engines of 2,184 to 5,663 cc displacement, unladen weights from 2,115 to 6,000 kg, gross weights from 2,990 to 6,990 kg and widths from 1,855 to 2,290 mm; for part of the models, outputs of 71 to 321 kW and lengths of 4,840 to 6,300 mm.
The Land Cruiser is established worldwide as a particularly reliable work vehicle in desert, mountain and crisis regions and is used by aid organisations, authorities and expedition outfitters, while the Hilux and Tundra compete in the classic pick-up segment against the Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara and the American full-size pick-ups.
On a used Land Cruiser, rust on the frame and axles and the condition of the transfer case and differential locks count; on the diesel engines, the turbocharger and injection system; on the Hilux and Tundra, the load bed and tow hitch; and on special-purpose conversions, the completeness of the extra equipment; parts run through the Toyota dealer network.
