Today we're going with a pretty clean 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser.


This one seems to be pretty stock, with only the kind of minor imperfections that come with age.

It's got a six-speed manual transmission and has about 143,000 miles on it.

Recent maintenance includes key fluid changes, a new battery, and new spark plugs.

Modifications include a TRD shift knob, a short-throw shifter, and Bilsteins.

This FJ has spent most, if not all of, its life in Texas and Florida. Our seller is asking for $24,000 to part ways with it.

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.

  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Looks great, but not for the trappings of a $77,495 CAD base priced EV. 😵‍💫
  • SCE to AUX 85 Lebaron GTS (5-spd, 2.2L non-turbo). Bought in 1988 at 56k miles, ran 12 years to 2000 at 206k miles. Pretty good for an 80s Chrysler. Pittsburgh salt limits a car's lifespan. We also kept our 09 Sedona for 12 years and about 150k miles. Body and drivetrain were perfect; rust ate the subframe and suspension. I don't need to set any car endurance records, and sometimes cars change as needs change.

  • THX1136 Another great article, Corey! I appreciated having similar pix of the '62 which made comparisons easy to note the changes from a visual standpoint.
