About the 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Single generation (U.S. model years 2007-2014), final U.S. model year
Toyota positioned the FJ Cruiser as a heritage-inspired, trail-focused SUV that was also usable for everyday driving. Its identity centered on FJ40-influenced styling, a strong V6, body-on-frame construction, useful ground clearance, protective underbody hardware, and an easy-clean cabin. Compared with ordinary crossovers, it emphasized durability and rough-road ability; compared with harder-edged off-roaders, it provided a more comfortable on-road ride.
Toyota positioned the 2014 FJ Cruiser as a rugged, heritage-inspired SUV rather than a conventional family crossover. It paired a 260-horsepower 4.0-liter V6 and a truck-style steel frame with protective skid plates, water-resistant seats, easy-clean flooring, rear-hinged access doors, Bluetooth, and a USB port. The range included two-wheel-drive automatic, four-wheel-drive automatic, and four-wheel-drive manual configurations.
