Albeit the 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser has significant off-road ability, this red cruiser proffers its owners everyday usability that is comfortable as well as the reliability that usually comes with Toyotas. This is a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser Review that we hope will give you some insight into this great vehicle.
It comes with a Class four receiver hitch that is optional and that has the ability to pull a five thousand pound trailer that can be a travelling load of fun with your powerboat, dirt bikes as well as your watercrafts. It can even pull a racecar.
There are new off-road lights on the roof that has long-range visibility, as well as visual appeal that has been enhanced. You will find great features on the inside as well and the fabric seat inserts and the steering wheel are a great complement to the style of the outside.
It also comes with the ability of Trail Teams. It has a cyclone pre-air cleaner that come with all models that helps to trap dirt and sand is very simple to clean. The chassis performance has been greatly improved with its Bilstein shock absorbers that have been trail tuned, rear differential lock, as well as the active traction system, rock rails, alloy wheels as well as wheel locks, among many other features.
You can access the 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser in configurations of either 4 x 2 or 4 x 4. With the4 x 4 however, you are given a choice between a manual transmission that comes with 6 speeds and a 5 speed automatic transmission that is shifted electronically. With the 4×2 model however, this is equipped solely with the automatic 5 speed. There is a variation with the automatic transmission’s shifting pattern however, and this is done based on driver input as well as the conditions of the roads.
Standard with the manual transmission is the electronic locking rear differential, while it is optional with the automatic transmission. There is a measurement of 8 inches in the ring gears in the 4×4’s front and back differential. There is a standard virtual automatic limited-slip differential that comes with the 4×2 model. The provision for this is made by a system that is controlled by traction that serves to enhance the traction of the two back wheels when the driving conditions are slippery.
What also comes standard with the 4×4 model is a transfer case and skid plates for the engine. It has double-wishbone independent front suspension that proffers almost 8 inches wheel travel that gives it remarkable suspension power. Its shape gives it super comfort and just an overall great feel on the road.
