2. In recent years, a few automakers have introduced what have
become known as "retro" vehicles. These cars and trucks
typically marry modern mechanicals with styling that recalls
a successful model of the past. The FJ Cruiser, Toyota's retro
entry, is a midsize SUV that harks back to the company's
iconic FJ40 Series of Land Cruisers. The original FJ40 was a
tough, dependable four-wheel-drive truck sold in the U.S.
from 1960-'83. It's generally assumed that the U.S. military's
Jeep from WWII provided the inspiration for the FJ's
predecessor, the BJ20.

5. Like the FJ40, the Toyota FJ Cruiser has superior off-road
capabilities. It's built on a truck-based, ladder-frame chassis
and features a stout suspension and drivetrain, sharing its
underlying hardware with Toyota's 4Runner SUV. Toyota
designed the FJ Cruiser to be a bit more
specialized, however. Compared to the 4Runner, it's
smaller, less expensive and more capable in off-road
situations, and it's designed to appeal to younger and more
active consumers.

8. A midsize SUV, the Toyota FJ Cruiser focuses on off-road
performance and a style that invokes the heritage of the original
FJ40 of the '60s. All FJ Cruisers have two standard front doors with
a pair of smaller, reverse-opening rear doors that provide easier
access to the rear seat.
Every FJ is powered by a 4.0-liter V6 that produces 259 horsepower
and 270 pound-feet of torque. Buyers have a choice of two fourwheel-drive (4WD) systems and two transmissions. Four-wheeldrive models with the five-speed automatic transmission come
with a transfer case that can be changed to 2-Hi, 4-Hi and 4-Lo
modes. FJs with the six-speed manual transmission are more offroad-oriented, as they provide a lockable center differential but
lack the 2-Hi mode. There's also a rear-wheel-drive-only
model, but the five-speed automatic is the only transmission
offered.
