This was an engine that would give Toyota’s larger 4×4’s a much-needed boost in horsepower, and it arrived just in time to power up the FJ45 troopy, which debuted in Australia in the mid-seventies. The 2F engine was first installed on the newly developed FJ56V – and other models followed. Yet, it was also morphing into something else – the larger and more powerful 2F. It seemed to only to get better over time. Over its nearly 20-year production period, the original F engine saw many improvements. Great for: Off-roading, driving around town, highway driving (with the 5-speed).

The great thing about a carburetor-based system is that it keeps things simple and doesn’t cost as much to install as modern fuel injection systems. Like many other classic engines, the F uses a carburetor to deliver fuel into its cylinders. Some even claimed that Toyota’s F engine would run for 500,000 to 600,000 miles before finally calling it quits. One of the things you can’t help but notice about this engine is its large cast-iron block - just one of the reasons these engines were thought to be nearly indestructible. It boasted 23% more horsepower than previous Land Cruiser engines and quickly became known for its ability to generate high torque at lower rpms - an advantage many of our clients appreciate out on the trail. The original F engine powered its way onto the scene in November of 1955. Great for: Off-roading, weekend drives, and vintage feel.Transmission: three-speed or four-speed manual.Torque: up to 209 lb-ft of torque 1,800 rpm.
