2007 Sport/Utility Of The Year Testing

Toyota FJ Cruiser
Top-Ten Finisher

What It Is
Nothing short of Toyota's attempt at remaking an icon by dipping into its shallow gene pool.

What You Should Know
Probably one of the best powertrains and chassis-tuning combinations in the marketplace. Likewise, the interior is a wonderful balance of new and old, with careful consideration for drivers who wear leather gloves. Watch out for visibility forward and over the left shoulder. B- and C-pillar blind spots are gigantic.

Bottom Line
Wonderfully executed new interpretation of a classic 4x4. Authentic four-wheel-drive capability, with all the right traction and gearing choices.
