The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a retro-styled mid-size SUV produced by Toyota since 2006. Introduced as a concept car at the January 2003 North American International Auto Show, the FJ Cruiser was approved for production after positive consumer response and debuted at the January 2005 North American International Auto Show in final production form. It features a short wheelbase, stocky frame, and grille-headlight arrangement much like the original FJ40. Other throwback design cues include a nearly vertical windshield with three windshield wipers for maximum surface area coverage. The FJ's body features rear opening access doors that give a unique look to the SUV.

Special high-strength steel was used to give the vehicle side impact protection without the need for a door pillar. The interior of the FJ features many design elements focused on enhancing off-road practicality. All interior surfaces are covered with washable rubber materials to aid in fast cleanup after heavy outdoor use. The FJ also incorporates oversized controls to aid drivers with gloved hands. The three-gauge cluster (with compass, temperature, and inclinometer) as well as the 120 V rear outlet were carried over from the FJ Cruiser concept vehicle as options on the final production model. The "Final Edition" of the FJ Cruiser went on sale in Japan on 12 September 2017.

Sales of the FJ Cruiser were discontinued there on 31 January 2018. This rare and striking example from Japan, is presented in metallic grey with a white roof and has a black faux leather interior. It is fitted with automatic transmission mated to its six-cylinder 4.0 litre engine, permanent four-wheel drive, air conditioning, cruise control, electric windows, diff lock. This SUV is in very good condition throughout and is a rare sight on the UK roads. A superb utility vehicle with versatility of use.
