The second-generation Land Cruiser, the so-called 20 Series, was released in November 1955, with the external appearance suitably redesigned for civilian use.

To satisfy wide-ranging needs, two chassis were initially made available with a wheelbase of 2,285 mm and 2,430 mm, respectively, to which a 2,650 mm wheelbase chassis was added at the end of the model life in 1959. Two inline 6-cylinder gasoline engines were available, including a 3.4-liter unit (Type B) that was inherited from the first-generation model and a 3.9-liter unit (Type F) that was used on a fire engine version toward the end of the first model generation. In mid-1956, the engine lineup was consolidated to the Type F unit alone. A 4-wheel-drive model (with a 1-speed transfer case) and a rear-wheel-drive model (for police patrol duties) were also introduced. The body variations included a soft-top, a pickup, 2- and 4-door vans, and a fire engine, among others.

With the second-generation model, the Land Cruiser began to be exported to North America and other overseas markets in large volume.
