The first Land Cruiser was a rebadged Jeep clone; the name was first used in 1954. But a five-door station wagon was a far more recent addition to the corporate line-up.
The modern V8's first spiritual successor was the 60 series, which was introduced in 1980 and became one of the first SUVs. By the time it was replaced in 1990 it had taken Toyota to a position of global dominance it still enjoys in the segment.
