Toyota FJ Cruiser

Introduced for 2007 with iconic looks that could be 40 years older than that, the FJ is truly rugged and versatile. A 260-hp V-6 and a five-speed automatic with rear-wheel drive are standard. The all-wheel-drive version is more compelling with its six-speed manual, two-speed transfer case, and increased go-anywhere-ability. Along with roughhewn looks come a roughhewn ride and a roughhewn interior that’s easy to hose out. Many vehicles are better on-road, but very few are better off-road.
