Toyota FJ Cruiser (2007 to 2014)

Introduced for model year 2007, the Toyota FJ Cruiser is a retro style, mid-size SUV, not to be confused with the various Toyota FJ Land Cruiser variants. The FJ Cruiser uses the 4.0-liter 1GR-FE DOHC V6. For the 2007 to 2009 model years, the engine came with single variable valve timing (VVT-i) which produces 239 hp (178 kW). For the 2010 model year, the FJ Cruiser's engine gained Dual VVT-i technology resulting in 259 hp (193 kW). For model year 2011, these figures rose to 260 hp (194 kW). Four-wheel drive models equipped with manual transmission have a full-time 4WD system with a center TORSEN locking differential. Rear-wheel drive models were available in some markets, only with automatic transmissions, and came standard with a limited-slip rear differential. Apart from the Base Model, several limited production variants were available including the TRD Special Edition and the Trail Teams Special Edition. For the 2014 model year in the United States, the Trail Teams Edition was called the Ultimate Edition, the last year for the FJ Cruiser in that market. As of January 2020, it is still sold in markets such as Chile, South Africa, the Middle East and the Philippines.
