Get FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS - FJ Development

FJ Cruiser was available as either a two- or four-wheel drive model. The 4x2 model was available only with a 5-speed automatic transmission, while 4x4 models were available with an electronically shifted five-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual transmission.

But with its B-type engine, the vehicle was more commonly known by its shorthand name, the Toyota BJ. Beginning in 1954 the BJ was also offered with a more powerful Toyota Type F inline six-cylinder gasoline engine, thus giving birth to the FJ model.

The FJ Cruiser uses power-assisted four-piston front and two-piston rear ventilated disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA) and is also equipped with vehicle stability control (VSC) and a specialized traction control system known as "A-TRAC".

The FJ Cruiser Was Based on the Land Cruiser Prado It is a capable off-roader; therefore, there is no wonder why Toyota chose it as a base for the FJ. In the FJ, the wheelbase was shortened to provide a better breakover angle. The 4.0-liter engine and five-speed transmission was also found in the 4Runner.

That scarcity means that the FJ Cruisers that are in good condition, and especially the ones that are near-new with lower mileage can command a much higher price. Demand + Scarcity always results in higher prices, and it's important to note that cars are really no different.
