Call it street cred. Minus the street.
Legendary reputations don’t come easily. The FJ Cruiser’s path to respect began one summer
day sixty years ago when its predecessor, then called the BJ, ventured up the vast slope of
Mt. Fuji and accomplished something no other vehicle in history had, climbing to the spot
known as Checkpoint No. 6. This event marked more than simply the triumph of one vehicle
over one arduous challenge. It heralded the emergence of Land Cruiser as an o -road icon.
Today, more than four million Land Cruisers later, its heir, the FJ Cruiser, embodies all the
rugged capabilities that those early Toyota SUVs became known for — and more. The 2012
Toyota FJ Cruiser. Moving Forward.
Solitude. Silence. Space. For some, nothing lifts
the spirit quite like a visit to remote wilderness.
The 2012 FJ Cruiser was engineered with precisely
those people in mind.
The off-road driving shown in this brochure was done in areas open to 4WD vehicles. Always be responsible when operating a
vehicle in the wilderness. Remember to cross streams only at designated road crossings and comply with all signs and barriers.

Mother Nature, who’s your daddy now?
Twenty-fi ve-degree grades. Frame-bending boulders. Dizzying drop-o s. The sort of challenges
nature presents when you tackle trails like Rubicon or Moab’s Poison Spider Mesa. But fi ve
decades of o -road experience has given FJ Cruiser the capability to handle them. Its V6
engine churns out 260 hp and 271 lb.-ft. of torque, in part thanks to Dual Independent
Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). The available 6-speed manual transmission
features a 2-speed transfer case as well as an electronically controlled locking rear di erential,
to help ensure the power goes where it’s needed. The independent front suspension system
delivers nearly eight inches of wheel travel, while the 4-link rear suspension with lateral
rod provides more than nine inches. And rock-solid body-on-frame construction keeps the FJ
rigid regardless of the terrain.
It’s no surprise a vehicle like FJ is able to reach the trail’s end in one piece. But FJ Cruiser

also handles pavement with equal profi ciency. Its Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
engine power and braking to help maintain the direction in which it’s been steered, while

Traction Control (TRAC) helps reduce slipping when accelerating. So enjoy the ride. You may
find gloating makes the drive home shorter.

The making of a legend
Separated by over two decades, FJ40 and
its o -road heir, FJ Cruiser, share common
DNA. With its box shape and

an icon. In fact, between 1960 and 1984
over 1,000,000 Land Cruisers were built.
With FJ Cruiser, the legend lives on.
