Goodbye FJ Cruiser - Hello TJ Cruiser

Post by Dirka »

..Or maybe goodbye FJ Cruiser - What the ... Toyota?

Not really Hilux related, but nonetheless is interesting to see the trend
the motor manufacturers are taking as herewith the likes of Toyota,
guided by the ever increasing demands for lower emissions and global auto evolutions.
So here it is, the TJ Cruiser concept introduced in Tokyo are now heading for production.
Seen as a replacement for the very good FJ btw.

Little is known at this point of the TJ.
A 2x4 with 1.8L petrol hybrid and an AWD 2.0L petrol 4Cyl option.
(Branded by the mighty Cruiser name)
Maybe not bad by the looks of it, but would have loved to see the new
3.5L V6 2GR-xxx Atkinson as a model option.
I got arrested for driving naked. I guess I shouldn’t have put four wheels, an engine, and a steering wheel on my bathtub.
I’m a do-it-yourself kind of lover.

Don't like it. Looks more like a Land Rover product than a Cruiser.

Agree with Eric on this one. It probably leaks oil as well...
