Igbo Kwenu!!! Welcome to Anambra State, the home for all. Anambra state was created in 1991, so technically, we can say the state is 26 years. Anambra state is in the Eastern region of Nigeria, and it is being governed by the dynamic governor, Mr Willie Obiano. Sequel to our reviews on state governors cars, we beamed our searchlight on Anambra state based on a PUNCH report which was released on Sept., 2016 about state governors cars. This post is not meant to join issues or to be political, our work is just to review our governors wonders on wheels. Our searchlight shows that Gov. Obiano uses a 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser Armoured car, according to PUNCH newspaper, the state government has 10 vehicles in his convoy. I was hoping to see Innoson Model as part of his convey as the company’s site is based there, but that is another story for the other day.
Model Overview
Toyota’s legendary Land Cruiser is brimming with heritage and comes with exceptional off-road capability. With seating for up to eight, a standard four-wheel-drive system, and a towing capacity of up to 8,100 pounds, the Land Cruiser is the rig that will be able to haul any mix of people and cargo, and tackle any road in front of you.
History
Originally a military vehicle that was Japan’s answer to the Willys MB, the Toyota Land Cruiser was used on a number of campaigns during the Cold War with its first tour of duty being the Korean War. The Land Cruiser name, however, didn’t appear until the mid-1950s when Toyota was forced to stop using the “Jeep” name due to a trademark placed on it by Willys. The mid-1950s was also the first time that civilian variants of the Land Cruiser were introduced in a number of body styles including a pickup, two- or four-door SUV (called hardtop and wagon respectively), and a van.
In the 1960s, Toyota separated the Land Cruiser into two variants, one for military duty and another for civilian use. A straight-six engine powered the four-door Land Cruisers from the late 1960s to the 1990s. From 1980 to 2008, Toyota manufactured the J60 and J80 Land Cruisers in Venezuela for the South American market. The J60, which was in production from 1980 to 1989, was the one of the first Land Cruiser models to add some luxury with rear seat heaters and an interior with better build quality. A larger 4.5-liter I-6 was introduced in the J80 Land Cruiser and its sister car, the Lexus LX 450. Toyota also added an electronic locking differential for U.S.-spec cars for the 1993 model year.
