2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser

The 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser is a rugged, truck-based SUV known for its distinctive retro-inspired styling, exceptional off-road capability, and Toyota's renowned reliability. It is powered by a 4.0-liter V6 engine and features a durable interior with practical, moisture-resistant materials.
Key Features and Specifications
Engine: The FJ Cruiser is equipped with a 4.0-liter DOHC SFI 24-valve V6 engine with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence), which produces 239 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 278 lb-ft of torque at 3,700 rpm.
Off-Road Capability: Built on a robust, modified 4Runner ladder frame chassis, it has serious off-road credentials. Key features include 9.6 inches of ground clearance (on 4WD models), available A-TRAC (active traction control system), a locking rear differential, skid plates (on the engine, fuel tank, and transfer case), and impressive approach/departure angles.
Design: Its iconic design borrows heavily from the classic FJ40 Land Cruiser, featuring a bold, wide stance, round headlights, a white roof, and short overhangs. It has rear-hinged access doors for rear passengers that can only be opened when the front doors are open.
Interior: The cabin is designed for functionality and ease of cleaning, with rubber-like flooring and moisture-resistant cloth seats. The rear seats have a 60/40 split and can be folded to expand the cargo area from 27.9 cubic feet to a maximum of 66.8 cubic feet.
Safety: Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), and Traction Control. Front-side and side curtain airbags were available as options.
Towing Capacity: The FJ Cruiser has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
Noteworthy Considerations
Visibility: A common point noted by reviewers and owners is that the stylish, low gunport-style windows and thick pillars create significant blind spots, especially to the rear and rear quarters. The available rear parking sonar helps mitigate this issue.
Fuel Economy: Fuel efficiency is a relative weakness, with EPA estimates for the 4WD automatic model at 17 city / 21 highway MPG.
Reliability: The vehicle is highly regarded for its reliability and durability, with many owners reporting minimal issues over a long service life.
