The 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser is making some serious ground as a re-establishment of the Toyota FJ40 - aka the Land Cruiser for North Americans. This vehicle comes to you completely equipped to take you anywhere - with safe deliverance and an appreciable degree of comfort and luxury. MSRPs run between $23,320 and $24,910 for these 5-passenger off-road iconic resurgents.

Fuel efficiency ratings are well-received at 16/20 mpg in the cities and highways respectively. Toyota calls the 2009 FJ Cruiser the "All-new sport utility for the adventurous". The basic warranty included with your purchase keeps you worry-free for 36 months or 36,000 miles and, of course, Toyotas have always been revered for their ability to serve you with high performance standards for far longer.

The 2009 FJ is great both on and off of the roads. In town, it is stylish and daring - inviting those around you to join you in your zest for living. In the backwoods, the FJ lets you know that you are always riding on capable wheels - designed and meticulously manufactured to keep you safe and allow you to have an absolute blast. Mainly geared for a younger male audience, the 2009 FJ Cruiser, like the Jeep Wrangler, makes no apologies for not being feminine. Let's just say that it likes its testosterone levels maximized.

The Toyota FJ Cruiser has been created to be the foremost off-road vehicle produced by the automaker. Mud, gravel, water and dirt are its friends. In fact, it feels very lonely without them. The front doors are front-hinged and the rear doors are rear-hinged. That means easy entry and exiting for all passengers. The FJ rates excellently in rough terrain scenarios, but is equally impressive and comfortable while cruising down roads and highways - even on long trips.

The engine used in the 2009 Toyota FJ, a 4.0L 239hp V6, delivers more ready power than even the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon or the Hummer H3. That means that you can burn out going up a hill at 70 mph. The drive train is completed with one of 3 transmission choices: a 5-speed auto; a part-time 4WD 5-speed auto or a full-time 4WD 6-speed manual. The base tranny cranks out 278 lb-ft of torque at 3700 rpm.

Maximum towing capacity is 5000 pounds and the payload rating is listed at 1325 pounds. The projections from Toyota state that almost 70 percent of purchasers will pimp the FJ Cruisers out with an optional Upgrade Package that features 17-inch alloy wheels, a premium stereo system, leather-wrapped steering wheel, steering wheel audio controls, a trimmed-out transfer case and the Toyota A-TRAC 4-wheel electronic traction control system with locking rear end differential.

Rugged and reliable, the 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser promises to continue the legacy began some time ago by the Land Cruiser. It is dependable as only a Toyota can be. It is capable and ready to serve your needs for unbridled adventure and excitement. Check out the Toyota FJ Cruiser in greater detail today and enter the next phase of your outdoor experience.
