2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
The new 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser uniquely fuses off-road prowess with heritage design and modern connectivity.
The new 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser uniquely fuses off-road prowess with heritage design and modern connectivity.The Toyota FJ Cruiser uniquely melds the brand's off-road
performance legacy with distinct heritage design in a modern SUV. Even
with its considerable off-road capability, the 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser
offers comfortable everyday usability and Toyota reliability.
The trail-oriented Trail Teams Special Edition Package incorporates a
standard Off-Road Package and for 2012 is available in a new color,
Radiant Red. With the optional Class Four receiver hitch, the FJ Cruiser
can pull a trailer up to 5,000 pounds, enough to haul a pair of watercraft, a powerboat, dirt bikes or even a race car.
On pavement or off, the 2012 FJ Cruiser offers fully civilized audio and
connectivity features. The standard audio system includes an AM/FM CD
player with MP3/WMA playback capability, six speakers, XM Radio
(includes
90-day trial subscription), auxiliary audio jack, USB port
with iPod connectivity, plus hands-free phone capability and music streaming via Bluetooth wireless technology. The steering wheel integrates audio system and Bluetooth controls for added ease of use. A JBL 10-speaker premium audio system, including sub woofer, is optional (standard on Trail Teams Special Edition).
The FJ Cruiser is powered by DOHC 4.0-liter V6 engine that
specifies regular-grade fuel. This powerful, responsive V6 incorporates
dual independent Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i =
variable phasing for both the intake and exhaust cams) and produces 260
horsepower and 271 lb.-ft. of peak torque. The broad torque curve
facilitates easy cruising on or off-road.
The 2012 FJ Cruiser is available in 4x2 or 4x4 configurations. The
4x4 offers a choice between a six-speed manual transmission and an
electronically shifted five-speed automatic transmission; the 4x2 model
is equipped exclusively with the five-speed automatic. The automatic
transmission varies the shifting pattern based on road conditions and
driver input. A Flex Lock-Up feature allows the clutch in the torque
converter to maintain a half-engaged position, enhancing fuel efficiency
and increasing the lock-up clutch's operational range.
Toyota engineered the FJ Cruiser for serious trail driving
capability. Its tough, wide stance is based on a boxed steel
ladder-braced frame to which the welded steel body is mounted. Skid
plates for the engine, transfer case (4x4 models only) and fuel tank are
standard. Double-wishbone independent front suspension offers 7.87
inches of wheel travel for outstanding suspension articulation. Its
geometry is optimized for excellent road feel and ride comfort.
The FJ Cruiser's interior combines a heritage-inspired design with
the comfort and convenience of a modern Toyota SUV. The dash is
bordered by upper and lower tubular forms, which frame
rectangular-shaped flat panels. Large control knobs provide easy grip,
even when wearing gloves.
The standard full gauge package ? including speedometer,
tachometer, amp meter, temperature gauge and fuel gauge ? uses round,
black-white dials for enhanced visibility. Switches for major functions,
including climate and audio controls, and the optional locking rear
differential, are mounted in the center dash panel within easy reach for
the driver.
The driver's seat is eight-way adjustable, while the front passenger
seat offers four-way adjustment. Seating materials are not only
water-repellant, but also provide excellent ventilation. The seating
fabric is backed by a special breathable resin coating, which helps it
to shed liquids and make cleanup easier. Even the stitched seams of the
seat covers are treated with sealant to prevent liquids from
penetrating. The FJ Cruiser's floor surfaces are covered with an
easy-to-clean rubber-like material.
Toyota's 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty applies
to all components other than normal wear and maintenance items.
Additional 60-month warranties cover the powertrain for 60,000 miles and
corrosion with no mileage limitation. Toyota dealers have complete
details on the limited warranty.
