Research notes

Caveats and conflicts (4)
  • Row is a Latin-American Spanish manual; which of H41/H42 applies there is unknown.
  • Latin-American market not itemised.
  • Wikipedia J40 says 4-speed from 1974, forum posters cite 1968-69 FJ40s with 4-speed; first year not resolved.
  • EXISTING COLUMN LIKELY WRONG: 3-speed manual ended in 1974 per Wikipedia; a 1980 FJ40 has a 4-speed. Forum only, 1980 year not individually confirmed.
