Make no mistake; the FJ Cruiser has serious road presence. The iconic white roof, round halogen headlamps and wrap-around rear quarter windows and over fenders pay homage to the classic FJ40. Privacy glass covers the rear side, quarter and back windows. The back of the vehicle also features rear fog lamps; rear access doors and a glass hatch rear window. For practical purposes, the inside features water-repellent seats facings; a large cargo area with tie-down points; and padded armrests on the front seats for maximum comfort.
A 4WD is nothing without performance, and the FJ Cruiser includes a host of technologies for optimum performance in all environments. Starting with the engine, the FJ Cruiser utilises the same 4.0L, six-cylinder engine as the Prado. Dual VVT-i technology provides power and efficiency. The Part Time 4WD system allows you to switch to a more fuel-efficient mode when you're not off road.
You can also switch on cruise control for more effortless driving. When you are off the beaten track, you can rely on Active Traction Control (A-TRC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), a rear differential lock, heavy duty suspension and an impressive ground clearance. No lightweight, the FJ Cruiser has a braked towing capacity of 2,250kg# so you can haul all the gear you need for your excursion.
