The Iconic Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62: The Ultimate Overland Vehicle
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 represents the pinnacle of the 60 Series generation. Produced from 1987 to 1990, the FJ62 introduced the fuel-injected 3F-E engine, replacing the carbureted 3F found in earlier FJ60s. This upgrade brought improved reliability, better cold-start performance, and increased power — making the FJ62 the most desirable 60 Series for daily driving and overland adventures.
A Brief History of the Land Cruiser 60 Series
The Toyota Land Cruiser 60 Series was produced from 1980 to 1990, succeeding the legendary 40 Series. It offered a more comfortable interior, better road manners, and the same bulletproof reliability that made Land Cruisers famous worldwide. The 60 Series is often called the "last real Land Cruiser" before the 80 Series introduced more electronics and luxury features.
The FJ62 (1987-1990) is particularly special because it received the 3F-E engine — a 4.0-liter inline-six with electronic fuel injection. This engine produces 155 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque, a noticeable improvement over the carbureted 3F. The FJ62 also came standard with a 4-speed automatic transmission (A440F), power windows, power locks, and upgraded interior materials.
