Toyota FJ – Land Cruiser designation for petrol F-series engines, from FJ 40 to the FJ Cruiser as N1: four- to six-cylinder engines, 1,587 to 4,197 cm³, gross weight up to 3,040 kg
The FJ designation in Toyota's Land Cruiser line-up covers the variants fitted with the petrol F-series engine; the letter combination has accompanied the Land Cruiser from its early production years through to the FJ Cruiser as a standalone model with its own round-headlamp styling. This page gathers FJ versions from the FJ 40 through the FJ 45 to the FJ Cruiser as N1 commercial vehicles.

The register lists here 5 versions with displacement from 1,587 to 4,197 cm³ from four- to six-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 1,751 to 2,171 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,300 to 3,040 kg, a length around 4,820 mm and widths from 1,660 to 1,930 mm.
The FJ variants are regarded as exceptionally rugged, easily repaired off-roaders for expedition and utility use and are valued worldwide, particularly in Africa, the Middle East and Australia, for hard, continuous use off sealed roads, where simple mechanical technology has an advantage over complex electronics.
When buying used, key points are rust on the frame, chassis members, wheel arches and floor, the condition of the transfer case and differential locks, the history of engine and clutch work, and for older variants the tightness of the carburettor and fuel system; spare parts are widely available through Toyota and Land Cruiser specialists, as are body panels on the aftermarket.
