The Toyota FJ40 is the model designation for a Toyota Land Cruiser, made from 1960 until 1983. Most FJ40 Land Cruisers were built as two-door vehicles with approximately the same dimensions as a Jeep CJ.

In the 1950's the American Army contacted the Toyota Motor Corporation with a request for a 4WD vehicle to be used by the soldiers and military police stationed in Japan. Toyota took the request seriously. The result: the Land Cruiser, a literally bulletproof vehicle. Down to earth yet with spirited attitude, capable of enlivening the life you're living and the conversation you're having. All FJ40 Land Cruisers are two door four-wheel drive trucks with removable hard top, doors and fold down windshield frame allowing for "open-air" driving

Closely related to the FJ40 are the Toyota FJ45, a pickup-truck variant, and the Toyota FJ55, a four-door percursor to today's SUVs.

Toyota has announced plans to release the FJ Cruiser, a modern SUV styled after the original FJ40.
