FJ Cruiser is back?!

[emilboya]

Sorry if this has been posted, but I'm liking this silhouette in the background. It would be awesome if the FJ cruiser is back, I will always love Jeep but I always welcome competition

Hard to see Toyota having this new, much cheaper Land Cruiser and a 4Runner and also a new FJ.

Wouldn’t that be slicing things awfully thin?

I believe the new FJ was rumored to be a small size full electric suv

I guess it is all moot considering Toyotas new engine options which all sound terrible on paper at least.

My Guess if this does make to production, it would be smaller than a wrangler/bronco. Maybe an actual compact off roader?

Or who knows, maybe that silhouette is the new revolutionary design for the 4Runner (highly unlikely)...

That's what's confusing me, mainly in regards to the 4Runner and Land Cruiser pricing though since I believe the FJ will be an EV. I figured the Land Cruiser would fit more as a parallel to the Sequoia TRD than the 4Runner...that being said, I just want the new 70 series diesel going to Japan

Looks a little Renegade-ish to me.

Though this is from last year so the finished product may be better.

Still more excited about the Scout, just needs a rear mounted spare tire

Yeah and an engine instead of a motor…?. Build a diesel or gas model and I’m in. Otherwise….

As much as I agree with you, you know they won't do that unfortunately.

Light reading about rumored engine options for the 4Runner which an FJ would probably share if it's not BEV reveals a 2.4 turbo good for 275hp/317 ft-lb, or a hybrid 2.4 turbo at 340hp/400 ft-lb ,possible 3.4 hybrid good for 437hp/538 ft-lb like used in the trucks.

Heck yeah...those are some good numbers.

Wow, looks like the Renegade got Fischer Price drunk one night.

What makes the new engine options sound terrible to you? Every Land Cruiser will be powered by a 2.4L 4 cylinder turbo hybrid with 326 hp and 465 lb/ft, capable of towing 6,000 lbs. On paper, to me, those seem like good numbers and I'm expecting good fuel economy numbers to go along with it. With the added complexity I do wonder about reliability and even with Toyota I take a time will tell approach on it, but other than that complexity I'm not immediately seeing cause for concern on this engine.

Turbo charged 4 cylinders in a toyota is my concern. only time will tell i guess

1958 is the cool one. Going to be seriously looking at that one when it hits dealers.
