The MSRP for the Upcoming Cars in 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser will be approximately $24,000 at the low end and $26,000 at the high end. In order to help sales and get it noticed, Toyota prices the FJ Cruiser aggressively, so there isn’t much wiggle room there. The FJ Cruiser has only one engine, a 4.0-liter V6 that delivers 259 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. Toyota pairs the V6 with a 5-speed automatic transmission in two-wheel drive as well as part-time four-wheel drive Cruisers. Toyota opts for the 5-speed manual transmission in the full-time 4WD models. A properly equipped FJ Cruiser can tow approximately 5,000 pounds.

We've been holding off on writing about the FJ Cruiser until we test drove one, but it seems they're sold out at every Toyota dealer nearby. So, we're just going to highlight it here before it becomes really old news. The FJ Cruiser (starting at $21,700) is one of the few SUVs with a suspension and frame system that was actually created for real off-road use.
