I bought this FJ Cruiser new, and it has been my baby, parked in the farthest spot of the parking lot, and always garaged. Outside, the body is perfect. I feel the yellow color is really the best choice to show off the FJ Cruiser's rugged good looks. This car is like driving a pocket tank. You will feel safe in this car! Sports car like power and acceleration will help you keep up with or pass traffic. This car has a tow hitch, which I used occassionally to tow my 1600 pound (light) sailboat. You could not even tell it was back there (unless you took a tight turn of course). The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a retro-style SUV produced by Toyota introduced as a concept at the February 2003 Chicago Auto Show and in production form at the January 2010 North American International Auto Show. It went on sale in early 2006 as a 2007 model and features styling reminiscent of the original Toyota FJ40 Land Cruisers from the 1960s (particularly the front fascia, white roof and wrap around rear windows) and is based on the Land Cruiser Prado platform. The FJ Cruiser was not originally intended for production but due to enormous consumer response about the car following the North American International Auto Show, production eventually began in early 2006. FJ Cruisers are built by Hino Motors in Hamura, Japan.Design The FJ Cruiser is Toyota's only current vehicle to use the name "Toyota" spelled out across the grille instead of the corporate emblem (the first since the 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser), a nod to the classic FJ40 and Land Cruiser family and to older Toyotas before the introduction of the Toyota emblem in 1990 for the 1991 model year. This off-road vehicle usually attracts young buyers that want a sporty vehicle that is built for the off-road terrain. The FJ's body features rear access doors that give a unique look to the SUV. The FJ captures its heritage with its short wheelbase, stocky frame, and grille/headlight arrangement. The windshield is nearly vertical with three windshield wipers for maximum surface area coverage. Structurally, it is a "body on frame" truck style design based on the Hilux platform.
