In some areas of the world, you can purchase a new one.
$81,500 – That’s the price someone paid to buy a 2014 FJ Cruiser with 63 miles at the end last year on Bring a Trailer. Popularity of the retro-flavored SUV has increased in recent years since Toyota discontinued the model in the United States in late 2017. The model is still alive and well, which will surprise some.
Although this video was uploaded on YouTube a few days back, a Toyota press release earlier in the week confirmed that the FJ Cruiser is still being produced. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan and the shortages in semiconductors, the company has been sending emails to inform them about production adjustments. The assembly of the off-roader will be suspended for a few more days. However, generally speaking, Toyota continues to make it.
The FJ Cruiser was introduced in 2006 and is currently being assembled by Toyota subsidiary Hino Motors in Hamura, Japan. From there the model can be exported to many countries. It is currently out of service until Tuesday, February 1, . If necessary, further adjustments to the production plan will be made.
After a little digging, we found that the body-on frame truck is listed on Toyota’s website in the Middle East. It has a starting price of $41,000. In South Africa, the FJ Cruiser starts at just over $48,000 and in Philippines at $41,500. These are just three examples. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Toyota may have shown us a glimpse at an electric-powered successor to the FJ Cruiser (16 years old) In December, Toyota showed off its EV product roadmap. One of the 15 new cars was a small, blue SUV called “Compact Cruiser EV”. It looked very much like the beloved box on wheels.
Although it is not clear when a production version of the car will be available, we don’t expect to see it in showrooms for at least the next few years.
