Toyota 4x4 goes back many years here is a brief history: Thanks to wlkilpedia In 1933, Toyoda Automatic Loom Works created a new division devoted to the production of automobiles under the direction of the founder's son, Kiichiro Toyoda. Kiichiro Toyoda had traveled to Europe and the United States in 1929 to investigate automobile production and had begun researching gasoline-powered engines in 1930. Toyoda Automatic Loom Works was encouraged to develop automobile production by the Japanese government, which needed domestic vehicle production partly due to the worldwide money shortage and partly due to the war with China. In 1934, the division produced its first
Type A Engine, which was used in the first Model A1 passenger car in May 1935
and the G1 truck in August 1935. Production of the Model AA passenger car
started in 1936. Early vehicles bear a striking resemblance to the Dodge Power
Wagon and Chevrolet, with some parts actually interchanging with their American
originals. Although the founding family's name is Toyoda (豊田), the company name was changed
in order to signify the separation of the founders' work life from home life, to
simplify the pronunciation, and to give the company a happy beginning. Toyota
(トヨタ) is considered luckier than Toyoda (豊田) in Japan, where eight is regarded
as a lucky number, and eight is the number of strokes it takes to write Toyota
in katakana.[9] In Chinese, the company and its vehicles are still referred to
by the equivalent characters (traditional Chinese: 豐田; simplified Chinese: 丰田;
pinyin: fēng tián), with Chinese reading.
By the end of the decade, Toyota had established a worldwide presence, as the company had exported its one-millionth unit.

After the war, commercial passenger car production started in 1947 with the
model SA. In 1950, a separate sales company, Toyota Motor Sales Co., was
established (which lasted until July 1982). In April 1956, the Toyopet dealer
chain was established. The following year, the Toyota Crown became the first
Japanese car to be exported to the United States and Toyota's American and
Brazilian divisions, Toyota Motor Sales Inc. and Toyota do Brasil S.A., were
also established.
