Toyota FJ Cruiser end of life


Recommended Posts

Just came across a news on FB that this time Toyota is really ending the production of FJ cruiser in August 2016 unlike the news or rumor spread out in 2014. Has anyone came across the same? How sure it is this time? Any replacement planned like in US market they replaced it with 4Runner? If it's true, it's really a sad news to loose such a successful and capable off-road for middle eastern market. Too bad Toyota.

Yes indeed, this time it looks very serious as FJ cruiser is completing 10 years and right time for Toyota to pull the plug. I agree it's sad to see capable 4x4 dying era is approaching soon with FJC and then Xterra is also about to die soon. Shame.

These big boyz minimizing cars in their fleet so that they can focus on less cars and people start picking expensive cars for off-road and break them often and bring more sales for the company. Toyota Cressida has been discontinued for same reason that they were so good and never break that leave Toyota without a business.

Toyota FJ Cruiser buyers has to make choice between - Prado or Land Cruiser.

Nissan X Terra buyers has to make choice between - Pathfinder or Patrol.

Second catch is now Prado and Pathfinder is not 100% offroad worthy and that's where people will break them more easily and companies will get more money home.

Third Land Cruiser and Patrol is too expensive and too big to be bashed in off-road with a 7 seats it's like a boat in a desert, unless you are a desert safari driver. Even though now desert safari owners adding different cars.
