Final-year Toyota FJ Cruiser in rare Heritage Blue. One of 2500 Ultimate Edition built at the end of production. Higher mileage but clean CarFax and very well maintained with receipts. A modern take on a legend that still delivers the fun!

Even Toyota wasn’t immune to the retro-car craze of the early 2000s and 2010s, delivering the FJ Cruiser as a nod to their legendary Land Cruiser of the ‘60s and ‘70s. A modern take on the original it still offers go-anywhere ruggedness combined with modern comfort and convenience. The result is a truck with cult following that still trades hands among an excited group of enthusiasts. This particular 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser was built in the final year of production and is one of 2500 Ultimate Edition trucks built. The Heritage Blue paint, which includes the roof (which is normally white), makes it stand out in a crowd, and thanks to some tasteful modifications, it has a go-anywhere look that’s quite appealing. The original paint is in excellent condition throughout, offering traditional Toyota quality that really stands the test of time. There are a few marks here and there that are consistent with the vehicle’s age, but nothing that requires attention or repair. The traditional Land Cruiser look remains with the white grille and close-set round headlights, and the off-road credentials are undeniable. Modifications include a heavy-duty front bumper with tow hooks, LED driving lights, and provisions for a winch, along with a cool roof rack and auxiliary lighting out back. And while a lot of modern off-roaders are nothing more than posers, this one can back up the look with real trail-ready performance.

The interior features comfortable and supportive bucket seats trimmed in durable, washable materials that are perfect for a vehicle that’s going to play in the dirt. Heavy-duty rubber floor mats continue the heavy-duty theme, but all the features you expect are standard equipment: power windows and locks, cold A/C, cruise control, and much more. Cool details include the white-faced gauges, which are also a nod to past Land Cruisers, an auxiliary pod on top of the dash with a compass and inclinometer, and a cool shifter with an aftermarket knob that suits the FJ Cruiser just fine. A few upgrades inside make it easier to live with, including a custom stereo with touch-screen interface and back-up camera, a windshield-mounted dash cam, and removable quarter windows that provide better ventilation than the stock pieces (the OEM windows are included with the truck). The interior remains in excellent condition with virtually zero wear, suggesting great care and easy use throughout its life. Even the cargo bay is nicely finished with a heavy-duty mat, aftermarket subwoofer and amp, and custom storage racks built into the rear door. Go have an adventure!

Power for all FJ Cruisers comes from a burly 4.0 liter V6 that was designed for low-end torque and climbing through the mud. It’s still a Toyota, however, and that means bulletproof reliability. This one always starts easily, idles properly, and drives superbly thanks to conscientious maintenance throughout its life (receipts are included). It was mostly used for cross-country treks to Colorado for outdoor adventures, so the mileage shouldn’t scare anyone—it’s been gently used. The transmission is a 5-speed automatic that powers a real 2-speed manual transfer case that distributes power to both axles for true 4-wheel-drive traction. No cute ute here! It’s mostly stock underneath, including the exhaust system, suspension, and brakes, so service will be easy in the future and everything works like it should. There’s some surface scale on the heavy metal parts of the chassis, but no rot in the critical areas, and they did add a set of airbags on the rear suspension which are controlled by a small keypad on the dash. TRD wheels simulate real bead lock rims and carry recent 285/75/16 off-road radials at all four corners.

This Toyota includes a lot of extras, including seat covers, manuals, spare parts, tune-up components, and much more. It also comes with a set of manuals and years of maintenance receipts that are up-to-date.

The Toyota FJ Cruiser has become a legend in its own right, and combines traditional Toyota reliability with a retro look that really works. The FJ stands out in a crowd, delivers off-road capabilities that match its looks, as well as a dose of luxury that the original could never match. This one has been well maintained throughout its life and represents a bit of a value in the FJ Cruiser market (we just saw a similar truck sell for nearly $20,000 more). With a great color, some smart upgrades, and lots of extras, this FJ starts to make a lot of sense. Call today!
