TRD FJ-S Cruiser at SEMA

While some vehicles on display at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas bear only cosmetic tweaks, that’s certainly not the case with the Toyota FJ Cruiser developed by TRD.

Inspired by Baja racers, the FJ-S is stiffer than the regular version thanks to a strengthening ‘exoskeleton’ underneath the body. That has allowed upgraded suspension to be fitted, including Bilstein racing dampers front and rear.

There’s significantly more power too, as TRD has attached a Twin Vortex System supercharger and a bespoke exhaust to the FJ’s 4.0 litre V6 engine. The result is a substantial increase in power from 260 bhp (193 kW / 263 PS) to 345 bhp (257 kW / 349 PS), while peak torque rises to 460 Nm (340 lb/ft).

Completing the package is a set of 17” TRD beadlock-style wheels with BFGoodrich All-Terrain tyres, rock rails, a front nudge bar and two-tone leather upholstery.
