When the Toyota FJ Cruiser first arrived in the mid-2000s, the white roof and distinct ‘Toyota’ inscription across the grille didn’t scream future classic. But more than a decade since its discontinuation within the US market, the retro off-roader has since cemented itself as an icon among off-road warriors and adventurers alike. The SUV arrived ahead of its time when it launched for the 2007 model year, with market trends, influenced by the economic conditions of the time, relegating the SUV to an almost afterthought before it could even make a true impression on the market. This is probably why it was discontinued after just a few years of being on sale.
