The feedback was so favorable the FJ was offered a green light for manufacturing as a 2007. It claims something about Toyota's phenomenal accumulation of vehicle systems that such a unique-looking product could get to market a mere 3 years and change later on as Toyota's "most capable off-road vehicle."

Give thanks to the customized Land Cruiser Prado foundations (also shared by the Toyota 4Runner and also Lexus GX470) for that success, along with thoughtful design touches that facilitate off-roading-among them short technique and also separation overhangs, generous ground clearance, and the chamfered sides at the car's four corners.

Toyota's considerable experience with off-road products gives the FJ Cruiser with tested mechanicals-a strong axle in the rear with suspension pick-up factors put well out of the way as well as an unequal-length control-arm front end with in a similar way safeguarded coil-over springs and also shocks. A peek under the automobile exposes a clean view in between the wheels, with celebration plates placed under one of the most prone elements.

The tractive initiative for this cubic canyon spider is supplied by Toyota's 4.0-liter V-6, which creates 239 horse power and-more important-a wide spread of torque (coming to a head at 278 pound-feet) courtesy of a variable-valve-timing system. That's with 91-octane fuel. You'll get less power on lower-octane gas if that's all you can locate in the boonies.

To place that beneficial torque to function, Toyota uses three options. There's two-wheel drive for that difficult trip to Starbucks, a part-time four-wheel-drive system with a five-speed automatic transmission, as well as a full time four-wheel-drive device with a six-speed manual transmission. Normally, the four-wheel-drive designs have transfer instances for mode and array choice.

On manual-transmission versions, which are likewise geared up with Torsen limited-slip center differentials, there's a lever-selected choice of high-range 4x4, low-range four-wheel drive, as well as low-range 4x4 with diff lock. The automatic-transmission auto provides change- on-the fly selection of two-wheel drive or high-range four-wheel drive, however you'll need to quit to choose low-range 4x4.

The front differentials are open-type units, as are the backs unless the buyer selects the available switch-activated lockable rear diff. In that instance, actuation disables a convenient system that Toyota calls energetic traction control, or A-TRAC, that is supplied on all four-wheel-drive designs. Much like systems we have actually seen from other SUV makers, A-TRAC screens as well as controls wheelspin making use of the ABS-like all traction-control systems-but this one will certainly allow some wheelspin to obtain you from unsafe situations. The two-wheel-drive versions obtain a limited-slip back differential instead.

Making use of the A-TRAC system to assault a challenging off-road training course Toyota established on a ranch near Ojai, The golden state, we had the ability to negotiate some seriously cratered areas in addition to boulder-strewn uphill climbs up with the FJ Cruiser's OE tires evaluated their roadgoing pressures. Considering the supply Bridgestone Duelers use street-biased all-terrain walk patterns, we were completely pleased.

As we were with the FJ Cruiser's refined street manners, apparent construct high quality, as well as outstanding versatility. Those self-destruction doors supply easy accessibility to the rear seats, which give great head and also shoulder area as well as fold ahead in a 60/40 split to enhance the freight volume from 28 cubic feet to 67 cubic feet. Rear legroom isn't really exactly immense, nor is the FJ's cost. Toyota states you could obtain a fully equipped FJ Cruiser for $25,000, which's a principle we can live with.
