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.
- Forum corroboration only. FJ60 got a 5-speed (H55F) from about 1984 per Wikipedia J60 text, outside 1980.
