Toyota Bandeirante or Bandeirante is a model car of four-wheel drive assembly of the Japanese Toyota , being found as jeep short or long, pickup and truck small.
In other countries is also known as series J4 line Land Cruiser . It was assembled in Brazil, initially still under the name Land Cruiser FJ-251 (Series J5), from January 23, 1958 .
Thus, the Land Cruiser Brazil became the series J5, J4 series in contrast to the Japanese. But the series J5 designating the Land Cruiser in Brazil can not be confused with the series J5 Japanese Land Cruiser, a station wagon (long wagon with four doors that was produced in 60 years mainly for the U.S. market, where he obtained a considerable success).
The production of the Bandeirante was nationalized in Brazil from May May of 1962 [1] . Only production ended in November of 2001 [2] . During this period, longer than the same model of car has had production in Brazil, 103,750 units were built. [1]
It is known for its robustness and ability to move around on land unfavorable to passenger cars. [1] . From 1958 to 1962, was equipped with Toyota 2F engine, a low-speed 4.0 petrol with six-cylinder that developed 110 horsepower at 2,000 rpm. It was soon seen, however, that gluttony for gasoline engine that diminished the scope of the vehicle too, making it unaffordable for those years the Brazilian interior. Thus, with the nationalization of manufacturing in 1962, the model was renamed Toyota Bandeirante and equipped with the engine OM-324 (some sources say the engine has been an OM-326) of Mercedes-Benz , a 3.8 diesel engine with four cylinders developed 78 hp at 3,000 rpm and earning the nickname "Breaker" to the vehicle. In 1973, OM-324 was followed by OM-314, also from Mercedes-Benz . The OM-314 is a 4.0 four-cylinder diesel engine that develops 85 hp at 2,800 rpm. This engine remained until 1990, when it was replaced by another engine Mercedes-Benz , OM-364. The OM-364 is another 4.0 diesel, but whose power is 90 hp at 2,800 rpm. It was because of the OM engine Mercedes-Benz Bandeirante the line from 1962 to 1994 would be called serial OJ5. But the year 1994 would mark the end of the engines of Mercedes-Benz . That year, the Bandeirante is now equipped with the Toyota driver 14B, with a 3.7 four-cylinder diesel ever goes up to 96 hp at 3,400 rpm.
