History of the FJ Cruiser
The Toyota FJ Cruiser was introduced in 2006 as a 2007 model, produced until 2014 (2017 in select markets). Designed to pay tribute to the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, the FJ Cruiser combines retro styling with modern engineering. Its boxy shape, white roof, and rugged demeanor drew immediate attention, appealing to off-road enthusiasts and casual drivers alike. Built on the same platform as the 120-series Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, the FJ Cruiser offered Land Cruiser-level toughness in a more compact size with a shorter wheelbase.
Its departure from Toyota’s lineup in 2014 cemented its status as a cult favorite, as demand for the model remains strong in both the used and collector markets.
Fuel Economy, Power, and Tow Ratings
The 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser features a 4.0L V6 engine, producing 239 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, this robust powertrain balances highway driving with exceptional off-road performance. The vehicle is EPA-rated at 16 MPG city / 20 MPG highway.
With a tow capacity of 5,000 pounds, the FJ Cruiser is well-suited for hauling small trailers, boats, or other recreational equipment.
Reliability and Best Features
The FJ Cruiser’s 4.0L V6 engine is one of Toyota’s most reliable powertrains, featuring a metal timing chain that requires no replacement during the vehicle’s life. Known for its durability and low maintenance, this engine is well-suited for long-term ownership and rigorous off-road use.
The vehicle’s off-road capability is enhanced by its short wheelbase, excellent ground clearance, and advanced systems like the Electronic Rear Differential Lock and A-TRAC traction control. Combined with upgrades like the ARB-style front bumper, winch, and Toyo all-terrain tires, this FJ Cruiser is ready for any adventure.
Its durable interior materials are easy to clean, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Meanwhile, features like parking sonar and AUX input add modern conveniences.

This particular example, with its extensive service history, clean Carfax, and off-road enhancements, represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Toyota’s off-road legacy. Whether navigating city streets or conquering trails, the FJ Cruiser offers unparalleled versatility and rugged charm.
