i like the new 70 series diesel, 6 in line, optional "digital radio" hahahaha, solid axle, 5 speed, back seats as an upgrade (obviously not for the p/u version)...
i love it...
i wish we were still this primitive.

I MUST have more info on that model...
What i'm looking for is a good first vehicle, that has modern features like heater, and AC...other than that, all it needs is the toyota emblem, ample space for misc. stuff, a CB, and a nice sterio.....
I had my eye on 1st and 2nd gen 4runners and 2nd and 3rd gen pickups, but i've always liked the largeness of the Fj60.... ( just learned the model name by the way....lol)

For what purpose? With 124 models in production worldwide, Toyota has segmented the industry into specialized categories.
If you're talking one Toyota that comes closest to my needs, I'd say a '98-'99 FJ-100, pre-electronic driveline controls. Good, low mileage examples are available for $15K now.
But there is one very special Toyota that comes to mind that few have heard of let alone seen or driven. I'm the proud caretaker of 1 of 54 imported into the U.S., a 1967 Toyota 2000GT. It'll be in a museum piece eventually, where many of the rest are now.

85 4Runner.
It's only my opinion, but I happen to be partial to it...
The Landcruiser FJ40 has a certain cache, but it offers a bone crushing ride, rattles everywhere, poor directional stability of short wheelbase, and aside from that is generally uncomfortable. Meanwhile the old straight 6 blows a head gasket every 70,000 miles. I like the FJ60 though, more comfortable and when modified is a sweet trail ride. All the other (newer) Cruisers and Runners are just expensive cars...

. I think a 80 series Land Cruiser with 150k+ miles is agreat value and awesome truck, wish I still had mine. I like my 4runner, but I liked the LC much better except for mpg.
