What do you get when you mix a striking heritage-based design with the amenities of a modern-day SUV and anytime, anyplace off-road abilities? None other than the 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser, revised and enhanced to make getting the best of all worlds even better.
Drivers who like to play dirty can enjoy a rough-and-ready Trail Teams Special Edition that offers both new style and new capabilities. These range from a unique appearance that showcases an Army Green exterior, set off with black bumpers, front grille and door handles, to significant hardware upgrades. The Trail Teams’ Off-Road Package boasts a beefed-up chassis, trail-tuned Bilstein shocks, a locking rear differential, Toyota’s Active Traction Control system, alloy wheels from Toyota Racing Development, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and robust engine, fuel tank and transfer cases. But this is more than just a hard-core rock crawler.
The special edition also offers amenities like a premium JBL 10-speaker sound system, remote keyless entry, cruise control, rear privacy glass and both 12- and 120-volt outlets. That audio system, standard on the Trail Teams edition, is also a new option on the rest of the FJ Cruiser lineup as just one of the many comfort advances provided in this tough Toyota.
For example, the standard stereo setup now features MP3 playback capability, six speakers, a USB port for iPod connectivity, hands-free phone functionality, music streaming and a free 90-day trial subscription to XM Radio, and it’s all now controllable via the FJ Cruiser’s now-standard steering-wheel-mounted controls. Accessing that interior is easier, too, thanks to significant improvements in rear-seat access via the Cruiser’s rear clamshell-style doors. The doors open a full 90 degrees, while the front-passenger seat now folds further forward to make it easier for back-seat passengers to enter and exit.
And everyone will benefit from Toyota’s standard STAR Safety System, an integral part of every Toyota product on sale in the U.S. This comprehensive suite of safety features includes vehicle stability control, traction control, antilock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution and roll-sensing side-curtain airbags. These units can detect a potential rollover situation and signal the vehicle’s stability control system to help reduce lateral skidding.
The 2011 FJ Cruiser is set to cruise into Walters Toyota later this fall!
