The RK85 was announced in April 1959, replacing the predecessor's floor shifter with a column shifter and changing the seats to accommodate three people. This model was able to tilt the entire cab forward to facilitate engine maintenance. In June 1959, the model name was changed from Route Truck to Dyna in a naming competition participated by Toyota and sales channel employees. After further improvements in the chassis and brakes to enhance its carrying capacity, the Dyna RK160 was released in January 1962, equipped with a 1.9-liter 3R engine.
