2017 Toyota FJ Cruiser
Last information said that 2017 Toyota FJ Cruiser is being prepared,
which means that previous rumors about its cut in productions were just rumors.
However, now these have switched to new model, claiming 2017 year model is going
to be the last one for now. Until then, 2017 FJ Cruiser is going to
reminiscence us to its classic days. This really could be the end of the
crossover, since production cost is high. Company needed to use a lot more
lightweight materials to stay competitive, but that costs a lot and final price
of this SUV could be slightly higher because of this.

Cruiser powertrain
The 2017 Toyota FJ Cruiser is looking for big engine to get huge
amount of power. Its output for new model will be around 300 hp and 290 lb-ft
of torque. It could come from 4.0-l DOHV V6 unit with 2TRD.
This engine sends
power through 6-speed manual transmission to all wheels. Also, rear-wheel drive
is an option, but then, powerplant is mated to a 5-speed automated gearbox that
transforms power to rear wheels. These combinations, with lighter vehicle
should bring more much better fuel economy, but there are no hints from company
about close number. Current FJ Cruiser crossover has 18 mpg combined, which
must be topped from new SUV.
