2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Repair Manuals Blog

When the pavement gives way to gravel, sand, and pebbles, the Toyota FJ Cruiser is the most competent of all Toyotas. Given the 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and Tacoma’s capabilities, that’s saying a lot. These Toyotas are all among the finest in their respective classes for off-road travel. The 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a seating capacity of five people. The front doors are hinged at the front. Access to the back seat is provided through rear-hinged rear side doors.

Overview of the Car:

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is available in the following three variants:

RWD 4dr Auto (Natl)
4WD 4dr Man (Natl)
4WD 4dr Auto (Natl)

Performance and Fuel Economy

The 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser performs well on the trail, but, as you would expect based on its looks, it isn’t always at ease on the road. Its 4.0-liter V-6 engine produces 260 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, and the six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions handle the power effectively. Off-the-line acceleration is swift (compared to other rugged off-roaders), and highway overtaking is decent but not spectacular.

If you’re a serious off-roader, the Toyota FJ Cruiser’s thirst will probably not bother you. The 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser is only available with a thirsty 4.0-liter V-6 engine; however, mpg varies depending on whether you go for rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, manual or automatic transmission.

Design, Comfort, and Quality

The design of the 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser is robust, rough, and seemingly timeless. Toyota hasn’t changed the look of the FJ Cruiser since it was released more than five years ago—which is a good thing since the FJ came well-detailed and design-wise, almost nicely balanced between contemporary and timeless. To summarise, the FJ Cruiser is inspired by the FJ40 from the 1960s, but it has been redesigned with a more whimsical, almost cartoonish style that is nevertheless quite nice. HUMMER vehicles came close to matching the FJ’s presence, but they’re no longer in production. If MINI ever chose to produce a macho true-truck off-roader, this is likely to be the design.

The FJ Cruiser is a conventional off-roader that, unlike other current crossover versions, does not rely heavily on electrical technology to attain its capabilities. While trail fans may appreciate this, the strategy has drawbacks, including comfort and ride quality well below today’s standards. The FJ’s front seats are roomy and spacious but not very supportive. Although the rear seats are tight, the rear-hinged back doors provide easy access. Because of the lofty ride height, entrance and egress might be a bit more difficult than in comparable SUVs.

The FJ Cruiser is surprisingly light on storage and baggage. The high luggage floor and fairly limited room inside the side-opening rear door may disappoint anyone expecting a reasonably substantial place to conceal goods or weekend project materials.

Safety Features of the Vehicle

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a safe vehicle, but it is not without flaws. The Toyota FJ Cruiser isn’t precisely one of the safest SUVs on the market, but it’s safer than the off-road trucks it’s mimicking.
