It’s no secret that I have a soft spot for the FJ Cruiser and often find myself perusing listings online. Sure, it’s not the first Toyota that comes to mind when we think about overlanding, but it is a legitimate platform for adventure. The design and styling remain fresh and contemporary, the interior incorporates modern comforts, and the Prado chassis that underpins it is legendary. It, therefore, has something of a cult following with recent examples including this 2007 TRD, 2012, and 2014. Today’s low-mileage 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser (74,000 miles) has been supercharged and showcases a plethora of top-tier parts and accessories. If you’d like to better understand what it’s like to travel with an FJ Cruiser, check out the adventures of Outbound Intent, Independence Overland, and Offroad Touring Life.
From the Seller:
“I purchased this FJ in Texas a few years back and drove it up to Mass[achusetts]. I was able to overland/offroad once in the past two years. This rig has tons of premium off-road upgrades. Unfortunately, my kids are just too big to sit in the back at this age. Had all fluids changed recently, including coolant, transmission, and diffs. Was undercoated last winter.”
