The 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser shares the trail with a small number of rivals, chief among them the Jeep Wrangler and Nissan Xterra. The FJ's body-on-frame architecture allows it an off-road ability not found on the modern crossover SUV. That's because most are little more than cars with added ground clearance and a very simple part-time all-wheel drive setup. Based on the 4Runner platform, the FJ Cruiser is the reincarnation of Toyota's legendary FJ40 Land Cruiser -- a vehicle that was celebrated worldwide for its off-road capability and durability. The modern FJ uses lots of cool retro styling cues, like the large roof-mounted rack, closely spaced circular headlights and upright A-pillars. It also has some unconventional features, such as the rear-hinged rear half doors, the 3-armed front windshield wipers and the massive C-pillar that can create quite the blind spot.
Why You Want It
If you are a die-hard adventurer with a passion for getting lost in fields of mud, snow and sand, then the FJ Cruiser makes an excellent choice. Its V6 engine has more than enough power to slog through, up and over the worst Mother Nature can dish out, as well as tow up to 5,000 pounds. When equipped with 4-wheel drive (4WD), the FJ Cruiser uses a tried and true manually engaged 2-speed transfer case and a locking rear differential to get the job done. We know there are more modern electronic systems -- such as the Selec-Terrain system found on the Jeep Grand Cherokee -- but there is a price to pay for such technology and many off-road purists still prefer the old system, partly for its simplicity and partly for the lower cost of repairs.
The FJ Cruiser has plenty of room for four adults, although its rear half doors require the front doors to be opened first before rear occupants can exit. Comfort wise, the FJ beats out the Wrangler with more comfortable seating and a quieter cabin that is also better able to protect its passengers. Starting in 2010, the Trail Teams off-road package was offered. Although the editions vary in theme and color depending on the model year, all come equipped with trail-rated Bilstein shocks, BFG all-terrain tires, TRD alloy wheels and a pair of 12-volt, 100-watt and 115-volt, 400-watt outlets. There is even an available gauge package with an inclinometer to warn you when the FJ has reached its tipping point.
Notable Features & Options
The most basic FJ Cruiser includes rear-wheel drive, a V6 engine, 5-speed automatic transmission, air conditioning, 3-armed front wiper system, power windows and locks, electronic traction and stability control, rear defroster, a rear wiper, water resistant fabric seats, 8-way manually adjustable driver's seat, heavy-duty all-weather flooring, skid plate protection for the engine and fuel tank (and transfer case on 4WD models), an AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer and an auxiliary audio input jack. After 2008, front seat side impact and side curtain airbags are standard. 4WD models add a 6-speed manual transmission. Options for the FJ Cruiser vary by year and include keyless entry, cruise control, a rear backup camera, 4WD with 2-speed transfer case, a 5-speed automatic transmission (4WD), A-TRAC active traction control and a gauge package with outside temperature, inclinometer and compass. Also on the options list is Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, a 10-speaker JBL audio system, rear sonar backup system and the Trail Teams special edition package. Oddly, Toyota never offered a navigation radio option, a feature that would seem most logical in a vehicle designed for people who like to get lost.
Engines and Performance
The FJ Cruiser has only one engine choice: a 4.0-liter V6. From 2007-2010 this engine produces 239 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, and requires premium fuel. Two-wheel drive (2WD) models feature a 5-speed automatic as standard and earn an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated 16 miles per gallon city and 20 mpg highway, while the 4WD models earn 15 mpg city/18 mpg hwy with the manual transmission and 16 mpg city/20 mpg hwy with the automatic. In 2010, the FJ's V6 engine was revised to run on regular gas. Horsepower rises to 259 hp, but torque drops to 270 lb-ft. Fuel economy increases to 17 mpg city/22 mpg hwy for the 2WD models, 17 mpg city/21 mpg hwy for 4WD automatic and 15 mpg city/20 mpg hwy for the 4WD manual.
