    Saw this 2012 FJ Trail Teams 6spd. being unloaded off the truck at the local dealer yesterday morning. Thought I'd share the pics....

    The FJ's have really grown on me. I'd trade for an FJ if I was in the market for a new vehicle and that one looks pretty damn awesome!

    I believe the Trail Teams edition comes with rock rails. I don't know if they actually hold up as sliders though.

    My first thought as well. Not sure if it comes in another colour or not. I think I've seen a pic of an army green one floating around on the net.

    Went on Toyota Canada's Website. Only comes in Red, only 125 for Canadian Production. Base price $41k.

    Went on the Toy's US website, but couldn't find it in the Build/Price using Buffalo,NY as the Zip.

    I'd drive it for sure. Color is nice, but I don't want the color transitioning into the interior on the seats like that...plain black for me. Too flashy for my taste.

    My sales guy is running numbers for me now for that truck in an auto. Sticker is $35k. He is saying somewhere around $32k give or take. I don't need a pick up anymore since I bought the dually. The only think I hate is the red interior. Seats and wheel have to get covered

    The sliders that come are more than suffice for wheeling. The only drawback to their design is no kickout but that can be fixed with a welder. Case in point:

    I think the one in the pic is already sold. If you look at the first picture it has "TOMSOLD" written on the hood. I didn't ask while I was there.

    Pretty sweet truck the more I look at it, it is growing on me.

    I would wrap the red plastic door panel and radio bezel with that eBay carbon fiber sticker sheets. If you paint them they might chip over time

    I don't like how there isn't a center cap on the spare. Looks a little shitty. I understand the camera is there but it needs a modified center cap

    It's all well and good, but you can't beat the versatility of a truck, plus my truck isn't wore out yet. And who wants to make payments on a new vehicle again?

    But hey, it is still fun to talk about.
