Okay these one I know , I am the owner of a Toyota fzj 80 Called over here in South America toyota "Autana" it comes with standard equipment like ....... absolutely nothing!!! mine has the 4.5 petrol engine carburated , no AC , no power windows , ,Front row seat is well like an old pick up seat , no tachometer, no voltmeter, no clock , the dash is diferent from the Vx and the Gx , comes with a 5 Speed standard trans , also the 4WD is not electric!! , also comes with horizontal tail gate, no rear defog , no rear wiper, the rear windows in the trunk are one pice , no fender flares , no full floating axel in the rear, no disk breakes on the rear , spare tire comes under the truck, the front lights I like mine these are the 2 square lights per corner and mine was made in Venezula I think that is all about the basic model. Japan Basic model is call the "G" model and it es the same as above but with vertical tailgate and the spare tire goes in the bumper , The "VX" is a well equiped truck, the motor is the same 4.5 , the lights are the same as the Lexus 450 , comes with fender flares, horizontal tail gate , individual Front seats but no leather , tachometer voltmeter, the dash has more buttons for the AC and different possitions for the air to flow , the basic model has the cable system , ajjajaaj forgot that little detail, the 4WD is electric , rear seat face towards the front of the car and not like the basic that are facing each other , windows for the 3rd row , power windows , and doors upholtery is very diferent more luxurius , in the basic there is plain , just the handle to open an arm rest and the window latch, full floating rear axel disk rear brake , rear defog and rear wiper , it has a very good fridge in the middle of the front seats , it also made in Venezuela, the "GX" is the Japan fully equiped 80s is the same as the "VX' but the front fender is cromed and has the 2 square lights per unit also the rear tale gate is vertical, and has the tire carrier , beacuse where the spare tire goes int he basic model the 'GX' has the Second Fuel tank , in the interior does not have the fridge (intead of the fridge it has a normal console)but is has the AC to the 3rd row seats , also comes with the 2nd tank fuel gauge and altimeter the rest is like the VX (axel, flares...etc) the VX also has a a control for the antena to lowered or rised , of course the basic doesent have that !!!.
