I have always been a huge fan of the Toyota FJ
Cruiser. Ever since they were released in 2007, I have been counting down the
days for when I would be financially stable enough to buy one. Unfortunately, I
won’t be able to buy a new one, because the 2013 model year will be the last FJ
Cruiser Toyota makes. Toyota feels that the new 4runner is going to take over
the FJ Cruiser market, so they have decided to discontinue the FJ Cruiser all
together; this will surely be a big disappointment for all Toyota enthusiasts!
Out of all the different variations of
the FJ cruiser, my favorite is the FJ Cruiser “Trail Teams Special Edition”.
This edition was first introduced in 2008, and offered all the same features
the “Toyota Racing Edition” offered, but they also added an upgraded “Bilstein”
suspension, rock rails, awesome black wheels. In 2013, Toyota included the
CRAWL control feature; when activated, the CRAWL control feature allows you to
completely remove both feet from the gas and brake pedals. The “CRAWL control”
system will operate the power and braking for each wheel individually, that way
you can concentrate on steering through the rugged terrain. Also with FJ’s
elevated air intake and waterproof electrical system, it is capable of driving
through water as deep as 28 inches.
Toyota
introduced multiple color schemes for the 2013 FJ Cruiser, and 2 of the colors reserved
for the “Trail Teams Special Edition” are by far some of my favorite. The army
green color is the most common, but they also offer “Cement Gray”, which
reminds me of the gray the US Navy uses on ships, and other Navy vehicles. If I
didn’t get the “Trail Teams Edition”, I would definitely go with the black, but
instead of getting one with the classic white roof that most FJ’s come with, I
would get one with a black roof, matching the body color.

One
of the other things I like about the FJ Cruisers is that there are so many
companies that make aftermarket parts, and off-roading accessories for it. With
tons of top of the line upgrades ranging from bumpers, wenches, and roof tents,
you can customize any FJ cruiser and make it the ultimate off-road survival
vehicle. When the zombie apocalypse comes I will want to be cruising around in
one of these decked out bad boys!
I
like to picture myself “CRAWLING” my cement gray “Trail Teams Edition” FJ
Cruiser (with a roof tent of course) through the Swiss Alps, living the life
any person with a passion for the outdoors would want to live. The FJ cruiser
“Trail Team Edition” is definitely the coolest off-road capable vehicle
made in 2013. Be sure to tune in next week, when I review the second coolest
vehicle made in 2013.
