The FJ55 replaced the FJ45. The 45 came first.

he said the 45 came in 78 and it was the first 4 door cruiser... I'm not up on what year the 45 came to the US but I know the 55 was definately around before 78.

1960-FJ40 is launched
1965-FJ45 is added
1967-FJ45 is dropped and replaced with FJ55

I think thats how it went.

I'll take your word on it but I don't think the 45 was dropped... Maybe in the US but not the rest of the world. Canada seems to have more of the 45LVs and less of the older 55s. I don't know for sure but that is just the feeling I get.

I simply don't know myself and the magazine never calls it anything other than a station wagon.

If interested in seeing the article and pics just let me know-perhaps I skimmed over the vehicle specifics-one page alone is tech specs.
