The Toyota Land Cruiser BJ-40 is a famously tough 4×4 that bears close resemblance to its sibling, he petrol-powered FJ40. These off-roaders are uncompromising, partan vehicles designed for use in the harshest environments on Earth. The primary difference between the FJ40 and the BJ40 is the engine, he FJ is gasoline powered while the BJ runs on diesel. There’s no small amount of debate over which is better but we can’t help but think that the fuel economy and reliability benefits of the diesel would win out over the better power characteristics of gasoline power.
