Japan · Japanese-market January–October 1984 carryover specification; 60 Series launched August 1980 and changed on 2 November 1984

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60V

The FJ60 replaced the curvier FJ55 with a roomier, more modern square-sided body. This page is bounded to a Japanese FJ60V built before Toyota's November 2, 1984 update: the standard-roof, 2F gasoline, four-speed-manual commercial van.

Research pending

A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.

Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.

A place in vehicle history

More than a set of wheels.

Toyota launched the 60 Series on August 29, 1980. The Japanese FJ60V used the proven 4.2-liter 2F gasoline six, separate front seats and seating for five. Toyota's dated November 2, 1984 release says the 2F was then replaced by the new 3F and publicized a four-speed automatic for 2H diesel high-roof vehicles. That makes an early-1984 boundary essential for this identity.

Look a little closer.

Toyota's domestic records call this model a van, while export descriptions call the 60 a station wagon. Both can be correct because market classification, not the body shell alone, changed the label.

Photos show an example of the model or generation. The pictured vehicle’s year, equipment, or modifications can differ from the specification described here.

From work truck toward family recreation

The 60 still used a ladder frame, solid axles and a part-time transfer case, but Toyota added a wider cargo opening, bucket front seats, quieter driveline joints and options such as air conditioning and power steering. That combination shows the moment a serious work 4x4 began courting private owners without abandoning its load-carrying structure.

Why the 1984 boundary matters

Toyota's lineage record dates the FJ60V family to August 1980, while its November 2, 1984 release explicitly says the old 2F gasoline engine was replaced by a new 3F. This profile therefore covers an early-1984 FJ60V with the original 2F and four-speed manual; a post-update 1984 60 Series needs a different identity.
