Today's UCOTD is a simple, straightforward one. This 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser is unmodified and hasn't been taken off-road.


This Iceberg White FJ has about 80K miles on it, it's an automatic, and factory features include 17-inch wheels, rearview camera, CD player, cruise control, and A/C.

There's not a lot to add here -- this is a nine-year-old rig that's unmodified and decently equipped.

Check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    This is, shall we say, a cult vehicle. Those who like them are bonkers about them. For others they're a large helping of "meh".

    I realize you can no longer buy these but if you've ever shopped a used Toy truck you soon realize the smart thing financially to do is just go buy a new one.


    $40K for this gutless pooch w/crappy fuel economy that you can see out of? What a joke!

  • 28-Cars-Later Mileage of 29/32/30 is pretty pitiful given the price point and powertrain sorcery to be a "hybrid". What exactly is this supposed to be?
  • MRF 95 T-Bird I own a 2018 Challenger GT awd in the same slate gray color. Paid $28k for it in late 2019 as a leftover on the lot. It’s probably worth $23k today which is roughly what this 2015 RT should be going for.
  • Mike978 There is trouble recruiting police because they know they won’t get support from local (Democratic) mayors if the arrests are on favored groups.
  • FreedMike I'm sure that someone in the U.S. commerce department during the 1950s said, "you know, that whole computer thing is gonna be big, and some country is going to cash in...might as well be us. How do we kick start this?" Thus began billions of taxpayer dollars being spent to develop computers, and then the Internet. And - voila! - now we have a world-leading computer industry that's generated untold trillions of dollars of value for the the good old US of A. Would "the market" have eventually developed it? Of course. The question is how much later it would have done so and how much lead time (and capital) we would have ceded to other countries. We can do the same for alternative energy, electric vehicles, and fusion power. That stuff is all coming, it's going to be huge, and someone's gonna cash in. If it's not us, you can damn well bet it'll be China or the EU (and don't count out India). If that's not what you want, then stop grumbling about the big bad gubmint spending money on all that stuff (and no doubt doing said grumbling on the computer and the Internet that were developed in the first place because the big bad gubmint spent money to develop them).
  • MRF 95 T-Bird The proportions of the 500/Taurus-Montego/Sable were a bit taller, akin to 1940’s-50’s cars in order to cater to crossover buyers as well as older drivers who tend to like to sit a tad higher.
