The Land Cruiser 80 series was unveiled in October 1989 at the Tokyo Motor Show and launched in early 1990 to replace the FJ62 in America, and other variants of the 60 series around the world. It had swing-out back doors, which were replaced by a tailgate and hatch in 1994. In America and other markets, it started off sporting Toyota's 3F engine (FJ80). For diesel markets it used a 4.2-liter turbodiesel (HDJ80 or 81). In 1993, an advanced 24-valve, 4.5 L six-cylinder petrol engine, the 1FZ-FE was introduced (FZJ80). 1997 was the final year of production in Japan and for sales in the United States, where Toyota offered two final variants: the Collectors Edition and the 40th Anniversary Edition. In 1998 it was replaced by the 100 series Land Cruiser, although it would continue in production in Venezuela, where it was retired in 2008. The 80 series Land Cruiser was nicknamed the Burbuja (Bubble) in Colombia and Venezuela due to its roundness.
