Toyota is set to bid a fond farewell to the FJ Cruiser, a retro-inspired rugged off-roader that became an instant classic when it was launched in 2006.The FJ Cruiser will end its production run in August with global sales tapering off. The Japanese automaker stopped selling the FJ Cruiser in North America since 2014, but continued sales in Australia and some parts of Asia. With the regional demand going down, production for all markets will end come August.
Drawing its rugged DNA, inspiration and design cues from Toyota’s famed FJ40, the FJ Cruiser was developed as a basic, capable and affordable vehicle aimed specifically at serious off-roaders looking to push the limits.
