The Toyota FJ60 could be a head-turner due to its high-horsepower, but will it actually come to market? Here’s what you need to know about the new concept.
The Toyota FJ60 Concept was created for the 2025 SEMA Show, which runs from November fourth through seventh in Las Vegas. It is an interesting take on combining a classic Toyota Land Cruiser’s vintage charm with a contemporary Toyota powertrain and some off-road attitude to match. According to Marty Schwerter, Director of Operations at Toyota’s Motorsports Garage, « It’s a hot-rod approach with Toyota DNA — power, drivability, and reliability in a package that still feels true to the original Land Cruiser. »
The Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser debuted in 1980 and ran through 1987. It was equipped with a 4.2-liter inline six that produced 135 horsepower. The FJ60 rides on leaf-spring-suspended solid axles in both front and rear, all attached to a boxed ladder frame. It came with both air conditioning and power steering, a decent level of equipment back in the day. The FJ60’s boxy but modern styling has held up well over time, making it one of the best looking Toyota SUVs ever designed.
