just when you think you have seen most original FJ40 related Vintage TV commercials , this finds me

How dis they calculated that?

Idk

6 from 3 on the tree low/hi

Maybe they count the neutral position of the transfer case as a gear, or they treat 2wd and 4wd as different

@-MaTTi-

9 forward and 3 reverse gears

That’s the way they called it then

Forward
(3) 2wd in 1,2,3rd
(3) 4wd high in 1,2,3rd
(3) 4wd low in 1,2,3rd
= 9 Forward

Reverse
(1) 2wd
(1) 4wd high
(1) 4wd low
= 3 Reverse

it’s not exactly Land Cruiser, but I love these commercials. It has a 40 in it though, and it’s mentioned too

That's my all-time favorite Toyota commercial.

Do you need me to translate? It's from NZ but I reckon I got most of it......

You certainly wouldn't see an Aussie ad these days depicting a rifle sitting in the rear window

Lol…. Nah, no problem understanding the local lingo. The original version was a bit longer. I know it’s true, but hard to believe they don’t allow hunting rifles in the outback. What a shame.
