Overview

The 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser SUV makes for an excellent contender in the midsize SUV class. With only a single trim on offer, the Toyota FJ Cruiser has a base MSRP of $24,180, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $25,770, competing directly with the Jeep Wrangler and the Nissan Xterra. Only a 4.0 L V6 engine is offered, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 260 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 7.2 seconds, the FJ Cruiser maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Toyota offers the FJ Cruiser in 6 stunning colors, with the Brick/ White roof being a particular favorite of ours. Currently, with around 34 FJ Cruiser available for sale, you could get one for an average price of $22,688. However, one can generally expect an average saving of $263 on a good deal, making this a perfect time to browse for a 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Buying Advice

If you're in the market for a midsize SUV with impressive off-road capabilities, the 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser is worth considering. With its rugged and eye-catching looks, it stands out from the crowd. The comfortable front seats make it suitable for longer drives, ensuring a pleasant experience. However, keep in mind that visibility may be limited, and the back seats can feel cramped with difficult entry and exit. Additionally, the engine modifications for this model year have increased both power output and fuel economy. If you're looking for an even more off-road-oriented option, consider the Trail Teams Edition package available for this year.
