They totally share common engineering. The original Land Cruisers were essentially Toyota copies of the Willys body with an in-house driveline. The J in the model name (like BJ/FJ/HJ) means a four letter word no owner will ever utter with regards to their beloved cruiser.

I figured that by 2030 or so was when we would have EVs in the cheap econobox segment and that would be the tipping point. When people can buy a $14k appliance they plug in and put less fluids into it than a washing machine on laundry day they'll buy them like hotcakes.
