FJs are no longer being made, nd this is a collector Model This FJ is factory original, ightly used, nd part of a large collection of well maintained automobiles. By the time the production of the original FJ40 ended in 1984 Toyota had shifted towards increasing the size and luxury of the Land Cruiser line. The idea of a new FJ with rugged capabilities of the FJ40 originated in the mid 1990s with Toyota Product Planner Dave Danzer and then Vice President of Sales and Operations Yoshi Inaba. Danzer worked secretly with Akio Toyoda to set up a special shop at the NUMMI plant to test the feasibility of a new FJ40 by combining Tacoma underpinnings with the bodies of Toyota Bandeirante, n FJ40 based vehicle still in production in Brazil (as a diesel model only) at the time. Akio Toyoda returned to Japan to join the board of directors giving high level support to the project. Toyota's flagship design studio Calty was then brought on to deliver a fresh interpretation of the FJ40. Calty hired veteran Chrysler automotive designer Bill Chergosky to lead the development of an offroad vehicle known internally as Rugged Youth Utility (RYU) aimed at attracting young male buyers, segment Toyota felt they were losing touch with at the time. Many takes on the RYU concept were created including the 2001 Rugged Sports Coupe concept before a retro style design created by 24-year-old designer Jin Won Kim was chosen as the final exterior concept with Chergosky designing the interior. The FJ Cruiser concept debuted at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show in Voodoo Blue, color that would become the Signature color for the production FJ Cruiser. The bold styling was an immediate hit with the automotive press and general public despite competing with more exotic concepts like the Cadillac Sixteen and Dodge Tomahawk. By resurrecting design traits from the iconic FJ40, he FJ Cruiser was viewed as a new "Halo Car" for Toyota much like the similarly retro styled 2005 Mustang had done for Ford. In the summer of 2004, oyota began extensive off road evaluations of the FJ platform by driving development mules on many of the most difficult trails in North America including Moab, tah, he Angeles National Forest, he Mojave Desert, nd the famed Rubicon Trail. Despite each one off mule costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, he development team was determined to push the capabilities of the prototypes in order to deliver reliable off road performance in the production model. Changes to the A-TRAC traction control system and suspension tuning came as a direct result of the prototype testing. The exterior of the FJ concept remained largely unchanged when the final production model debuted at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. However, hief production engineer Akio Nishimura had to significantly alter the amenities offered in Chergosky's interior concept to keep the price of the production FJ Cruiser reasonable. Unique interior touches like the gear shifter that doubled as a shovel handle, emovable interior lights which doubled as flashlights, nd flat folding front seats were removed though several concept items remained as factory options. TRD Special Edition For North America, n 2007 Toyota Racing Development (TRD) produced 3,200 units as the limited production TRD Special Edition FJ Cruiser. This model was released with not only the body painted in a Black Diamond Pearl color, ut also with a matching black roof to set itself apart from its standard, hite-roofed counterparts. The TRD Special Edition model includes things such as the TRD cat-back exhaust system, RD Bilstein off-road tuned shocks, ock rails, 6-inch alloy gun-metal gray finished TRD wheels with BFGoodrich All-terrain tires, nd TRD badges. The TRD Special Edition also includes mechanical changes to synchronize the locking differential with the active traction control (resulting in the rear differential no longer overriding the active traction). Early production 2006 FJ Cruisers had an issue that caused the rear differential to override the active traction control, xcept in the TRD Special Edition FJ Cruisers. However, y November of 2006, oyota changed production to incorporate synchronization of the locking differential with active traction control on all FJ Cruisers. In 2009, ubsequent to Toyota releasing the Trail Teams Special Edition FJ Cruiser for the production year of 2008, oyota created the TRD Package. This package was available on FJ Cruisers with the Iceberg White monotone exterior color scheme, imilar to the 2008 Trail Teams Special Editions, xcept without the addition of blacked out trim pieces. Even though this package was known as the TRD Package, t doesn't include the same or as many features as the TRD Special Edition.Some of the features with this package were the TRD alloy wheels in a silver finish with the BFGoodrich All-terrain tires, s well as a TRD logos/graphics on the exterior for decoration. Also, he TRD Package was only offered on units with 2-wheel drive for the 2008 model year and 2009 model year. Since 2011, oyota still offers the TRD Package on the Iceberg White FJ Cruisers but has opened the package availability to both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models. Another note to mention is in 2009, nly 2400 units were produced with the TRD Package. Trail Teams Special Edition Beginning with the 2008 model year, oyota manufactured 3,200 units of specially equipped FJ Cruisers designated as the Trail Teams Special Edition, hich featured many of the same TRD options included on the TRD Special Edition, ncluding the same 16 inch alloy wheels (but in a black finish as opposed to the gun-metal grey finish of the TRD model). The Trail Teams Special Edition was also equipped with BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, s well as TRD/Trail Teams Bilstein shocks, nd other similar options found on the TRD model. The number of Trail Teams Special Edition FJ Cruisers produced per year are as follows: 3,200 units for 2008 (as stated above); 1,500 for 2010; 2,500 in 2011; 2,500 in 2012; 2,500 in 2013; and 2,500 in 2014. No Trail Teams models were produced in 2009. However, oyota released a TRD Package for that model year and it was used on the same Iceberg White painted FJ Cruisers that were used for the 2008 Trail Teams Special Edition, for more information, ee the TRD Special Edition section.) Over the years, mall incremental changes have been made to the Trail Teams Special Edition FJ Cruisers, uch as changing the TRD alloy wheels to beadlock style TRD wheels on later years, nd the availability of Toyota's CRAWL control feature as part of the Trail Teams package (2013 and 2014 automatic transmission only). The CRAWL control had been previously used on other 4-wheel drive vehicles from Toyota and Lexus to enhance off-road capabilities. Each year, he Trail Teams Special Edition is painted in one distinct color and is the only FJ variant (besides the TRD Special Edition units) offered in a monotone color scheme, ather than the traditional two-tone FJ Cruiser with the standard white painted roof (excluding standard production FJ Cruisers with the "Iceberg White" body). The Trail Teamsvariants are also the only FJ models to have body trim pieces blacked out from the factory including the mirrors, oor handles, umper caps, tc. Special design details also carry over to the interior such as color matched fabric inserts on the seats for specific years and special Trail Teams badges.
