The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a 4-door, 5-passenger sport-utility, available in 3
trims, ranging from the 4X2 to the 4X4 AT. Upon introduction, both trims are
equipped with a standard 4.0-liter, V6, 239-horsepower engine that achieves
16-mpg in the city and 20-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive is standard. For those looking at pre-owned Toyotas, the 2008 FJ Crusier is a carryover from 2007 and we've got info for you on the
2009 FJ
Cruiser as well.
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 the
nostalgia driven oldies in search of manually locking hubs, you'll see the 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 tougher terrain and obstacles that aren't typically found in shopping
mall parking lots or on 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.
