At a press conference, held at the 2013 SEMA Show, Toyota unveiled the 2014 FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Ultimate Edition.
This is a memorial special final edition of the FJ Cruiser, the toughest and most efficient FJ ever. Also, it is a tribute to the iconic vehicle that will end its production run with the conclusion of the 2014 model. The production will be limited, only 2.500 will be built.
This is an homage to the iconic Land Cruiser FJ40 of the 1960’s, from which the FJ Cruiser draws its jagged DNA, inspiration and design.
This vehicle was built for rugged off-roading. Once again the Ultimate Edition raises the bar for off-road capability with the new performance upgrades.
Including TRD Bilstein race, 66 mm shock absorbers with new TRD race coil springs elevate the front of the FJ just enough to level out the position and improve the approach angle. The 55 mm rear shock absorbers are equipped with remote reservoirs to reduce damping fade.
The Toyota Racing Development goodies don’t stop here. TRD developed a new front skid plate, made from one-quarter-inch thick aluminum plate, which is standard for the Ultimate Edition. This not only looks great but also upgrades the approach angle and gives an increased level of underbody protection. TRD 16-inch bead lock wheels with BF Goodrich A/T KO tires, rock rails and a roof complete the exterior.
The Ultimate Edition FJ Cruiser is only available in 4x4 and comes standard with Active Traction Control (A- TRAC), Crawl Control (CRAWL available with automatic transmission only), Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) with an ‘off’ switch and electronically controlled locking of rear differential as well as the Toyota Star Safety System, which is standard.
The final 2014 FJ Cruiser model is on sale now, and scheduled to roll into dealerships in February 2014.
More than 200,000 unites were sold since 2006. The FJ says farewell, leaving long-lasting memories as one of the most iconic vehicles in Toyota ’s rich SUV history.
