Toyota's extensive experience with off-road products provides the FJ Cruiser with proven mechanicals-a solid axle in the rear with suspension pickup points tucked well out of the way and an unequal-length control-arm front end with similarly protected coil-over springs and shocks. A quick look under the car reveals a clean view between the wheels, with bash plates placed under the most vulnerable components. The tractive effort for this cubic canyon crawler is provided by Toyota's 4.0-liter V-6, which produces 239 horsepower and-more important-a broad spread of torque (peaking at 278 pound-feet) courtesy of a variable-valve-timing system. That's with 91-octane fuel. You'll get less power on lower-octane fuel if that's all you can find in the boonies.
