FJ55 (1967 to 1980)

Commonly known as the “Iron Pig”, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 was produced from 1967 to 1980 and marked Toyota’s first true four-door station wagon within the Land Cruiser lineage. While classified as a commercial vehicle in Japan, the FJ55 was marketed primarily as a passenger wagon in export markets, offering greater interior space and comfort while retaining the rugged underpinnings of the 40 Series. Early models used the petrol F engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, producing around 125 hp, before receiving a major upgrade in 1975 with the introduction of the more powerful and efficient 2F engine and a 4-speed manual. Total production is estimated at approximately 113,000 units worldwide. In the Australian market, the FJ55 was officially sold and has since developed a strong cult following, with values driven by originality, rust-free bodies, drivetrain condition, and correct period specification, as clean survivors of this distinctive Land Cruiser wagon become increasingly scarce.
