If you are of a certain age, you'll recognize the
Toyota FJ Cruiser as the rebirth of an icon, the
Toyota FJ 40, better
known in North America as the original Land Cruiser.
It was a rugged, go-anywhere vehicle, a sport utility
vehicle decades before the genre had a name. Toyota
has definitely figured out how to build vehicles that
Americans want, such as the Camry, Corolla, Tacoma,
and luxurious Lexus models. On the other hand,
if you are of younger age than graybeards nostalgic
for manually locking hubs, you'll see the
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
as something new and different and even unique on the
road.
While the FJ Cruiser
was designed to appeal to a youthful and mainly male
audience, it also was designed to be the most capable
of all Toyotas when the pavement gives way to gravel,
sand, rocks and other assorted obstacles not normally
found in shopping mall parking lots or between the shoulders
of Interstate highways. And that is certainly
saying something, given the capability and history of
the 4Runner and Tacoma.
The 2009 FJ Cruiser
seats five. The front doors are standard, front-hinged
doors. Rear-hinged access doors ease egress to the back
seat and cargo area. Rear access to the cargo area is
through a door hinged on the driver's side of the vehicle
instead of a typical roof-hinged hatch-style closure.
The FJ Cruiser
is excellent on rugged terrain yet very comfortable
on the road. Its V6 engine is more powerful than those
used in the Hummer H3 and Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.
