Toyota began designing a new SUV, based off of the 1950s Land Cruiser FJ 40, in a joint effort with Calty Design Research in 2003. In 2005 the company released the final design of the Toyota FJ Cruiser and released it for sale the following year. The FJ cruiser has a long line of standard features and several options to go along with the two sub-models.
Drive Train
The Toyota FJ Cruiser comes with one engine option, a 4.0-liter V-6. Toyota gives buyers a choice of two transmission options: 5-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual (only on full-time 4-wheel drive models). The FJ Cruiser has three optional drive lines: 2-wheel drive, part-time 4-wheel drive and full-time 4-wheel drive.
Options
The FJ Cruiser has three options that can be added to any model FJ Cruiser. One is the 17-inch, six-spoke alloy wheels with 265/70R17 tires and a full-sized spare tire. Daytime running lights and running boards are other available options. Toyota offers customers a locking rear differential on the part-time 4-wheel drive and the 2-wheel drive models for maximum traction.
TRD Package
The Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD (Toyota Racing Development), which is available in 2-wheel drive only, adds four options. The TRD package includes high-speed tuned Bilstein shocks, 16-inch alloy rims and BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires. Finally, the TRD gets a color change to white, which Toyota calls "iceberg."
TT Package
In 2010, Toyota introduced a new trim line, known as Trail Teams Special Edition Package (TT). The TT version begins with a color change to tan that Toyota has named "sandstorm." That color is also painted on the roof; unlike other FJ Cruisers that all have white roofs. Toyota also added a blacked-out hood and flat black plastic trim on the grill, door handles, mirrors and bumpers. The mechanical upgrades that Toyota added include Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), 16-inch, TRD-style bead-lock rims, trail-tuned Bilstein shocks and rock rails.
