I'm guessing I saw a 2017 FJ Cruiser

Last I had heard, Toyota discontinued the FJ in 2014, but I saw one driving around yesterday that had an updated front. I didn't think too much of it until I did an image search and found the same front end on what is being called a "2017 FJ Cruiser".

This next image along with an open bed platform were pictured as well. Both look pretty damn cool, but I would guess not real.

I looked through Toyota's website, and there is no mention of a FJ return. Maybe I just saw test vehicle or something. Has anyone else actually seen one out on the road?

 

According to Wikipedia (however accurate that is) the left hand drive FJ ended production in 2014 and the right hand drive ended in 2016. No mention of a new model.

 

Doesnt look bad, just think its looks too similar to the old ones. Wish it came in a 4 door but i personally like the 4 runners better

 

It is possible that it was a newer right hand drive model that was shipped here by its owner. I wish I had taken a picture.

 

No. The grill and lights are a conversion that I believe is sold on ebay. It makes it look more like a Range Rover. The convertible version is something that has been done multiple times in the past.

That makes sense. Thank you.

 

Wish you were right though. Miss my FJ and cant bring myself to consider buying one again with the used prices being higher than when they were available new.

 

After the Range Rover looking grill was installed, the FJ was plagued with electrical problems.
