Toyota will reportedly break with more than 70 years of tradition by producing two new LandCruiser -badged models – a dual-cab ute and an SUV – based on a monocoque platform rather than a ladder frame like every Toyota off-roader since the original 'Toyota Jeep BJ' of 1953.

According to Japanese publication Best Car , the first LandCruiser models not to employ rugged body-on-frame construction will instead be underpinned by a car-style unibody architecture – and offered with hybrid or all-electric powertrains.

Although there's no confirmation from Toyota, Best Car says the Japanese giant's two new electrified off-roaders will be production versions of the EPU dual-cab pickup and LandCruiser se SUV concept cars revealed at the 2023 Tokyo motor show.
