03 / Class

Where it stands

The FJ Cruiser’s best numbers against every other SUV we track that publishes them.

Not compared: breakover angle. We don’t have that number for the Toyota FJ Cruiser from the maker’s documents.

Each number is the best configuration of the newest model year we have that publishes it (at most two years back), factory packages included and fleet-only configurations left out, against the same for every other vehicle in its class that publishes it. Tow and payload ratings are compared within one market, and pickups within their size when five or more share it.

Spec plate

2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser

One configuration per trim, named under each heading, with its numbers as Toyota prints them. “Up to” is a ceiling printed over several configurations (the notes say whose), “from” the lowest figure, and a range is printed across that configuration’s grades. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label.

Estimate ±A dashed underline marks our estimate where Toyota prints no figure: worked out from its other numbers, shown with its margin (±), and never used for a headline, comparison or ranking.

Stock figures: 2014 FJ Cruiser Product Information. Solid outline = from the maker; dashed = our estimate, ± how far off it may be. Overhangs are estimated (the maker doesn’t publish them), so changed angles carry a range.

Part masses are typical, not yours. This is an estimate, not a weighbridge: weigh your rig.
