I like the classic Toyota Land Cruisers. What's the difference between the FJ40, FJ45, and FJ47?
What's the difference when the "F" is changed to an "H"? I.E. HJ40, HJ45, HJ47?
Johnny is partly correct. This may be more than you were looking for, but here's a quick run down:
"J" is simply Toyota's platform code for Land Cruisers. Every Land Cruiser has a "J" in the model designation. It may have originated with their copies of WWII Jeeps, but as far as I know, that's never been an official explanation.
The first part of the model designation denotes the motor. "F" is for an in-line 6-cylinder gasoline engine. There were many variations to the "F" series motors over time, generally referred to as "early F", "F", "2F", "3FE" (the E denotes fuel injection). There were also 3F motors in countries outside the US. In 1993, the in-line 6-cylinder engine was changed substantially and called the 1FZ-FE, for which the model designation became "FZ". That was followed by the 2UZ-FE motor in 1998, which has a "UZ" designation.
"H" and "B" are diesel motor designations. Similarly, there were different motors over time, most popularly, the 2H and 3B. A 1978 BJ40 would look identical to a 1978 FJ40, except that it would have a 3B engine instead of a 2F.
All of the "J4" series Land Cruisers have basically identical front ends (with regard to body styling), but will have different configurations for the rear. Johnny gave a decent summary above. 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47.
