Toyota has announced at the SEMA show in Las Vegas that this is the last year for the distinctive FJ Cruiser. From the beginning Toyota said that the FJ Cruiser would be a single-generation vehicle, and – after an 8-year run – they’ve made good on that statement.
I remember with fondness my 2007 Sun Fusion 6-speed FJ Cruiser. Never understood the lack of sunroof, but I dearly loved the bolt-on wonderfulness that is Toyota design (pretty much everything came pre-drilled and pre-wired on the FJ; all you had to do was plug in a switch, add a foot of wiring harness, or pop-off the covers and you had everything offered in the Toyota options list added to your base model FJ.
