The TRD Special Edition package adds several exterior performance
enhancements to the 2007 FJ Cruiser SUV. Included in the package are
TRD/Bilstein off-road tuned, red painted shock absorbers. The special
shocks are designed to enhance straight line stability, decrease brake
"dive" and acceleration "squat" yaw response, stability and roll feel, body
motion characteristics, shock impact and off-road handling. The seamless
monotube design provides superior tube strength while maximizing heat
dissipation and shock life.

Additionally, TRD has synchronized the locking differential with Active
Traction control. The locking rear differential no longer overrides Active
Traction control enabling the FJ Cruiser to navigate easier through
boulders.

Unique exterior enhancements include an all Black paint scheme with a
Black roof and "TRD Special Edition" badges. The Special Edition package
will also feature a set of five TRD 16-inch alloy wheels with a gun metal
gray painted finish and BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires with wheel locks, TRD
performance exhaust and rock rails.

Inside, the Special Edition package is equipped with seat-mounted side
airbags and front and rear side curtain airbags, and a multi-informational
display which includes compass, inclinometer and temperature gauge. The
Special Edition package also includes a two-in-one AM/FM audio and six-disc
CD changer, quickshifter (manual transmission models only) and all-weather
front and rear cargo floor mats with a TRD logo.

Only 3,200 units of the TRD Special Edition FJ Cruiser will be built.
The Special Edition package will carry a base MSRP of $7,265 on manual
transmission models and $7,250 for models with an automatic transmission.
The base MSRP for the FJ Cruiser four-wheel drive models start at $23,090
for the manual transmission and $23,500 for an automatic transmission. The
TRD Special Edition FJ Cruiser will arrive at Toyota dealerships in early
November, and will also be on display at the Specialty Equipment Market
Association (SEMA) show in November.

 

That will be freaking rad. I love that they stuck the quickshifter in there. I have that on my tC, and it is great.

 

These things are aswome rigs. I am sooo glad Toyota brought them back. Im half tempted to try and snag one up myself.

Had a chance to test drive one..where they belong...and run with a few others...

7 grand! Sounds kinda steep.

I like the all black with gunmetal rims though.

-THE DON

 

Yes indeedy! I always thought it would look better with a matching roof. I know it's retro to be white, but i think they should just move on and coordinate the roofs with the rest of the car.

 

actually the MSRP is

MSRP Pricing:
Manual: $30,355
Auto: $30,750

Got it at toyota.com

 

Soundss sexyy!!!

 

Right, that is exactly what the base price plus the TRD package equals from the first post. That will help the mathmatically-challenged, though.

 

FJ owners already had a mod out for this, all it requires is a plug i think, or cutting one wire...lol save a couple hundred just for that

 

FJ Series one in BLACK ?????????
I'm waiting for the series two in HOT LAVA .

 

Any pics of this new FJ?

 

we picked up our FJ recently; it is a great ride. It serves 2 purposes for us: pulls the boat fine for me, and the wife likes it enough to drive it as well--freeing up her TC for my playtime.
As for the spec edition, the one thing in that package that I would question is the TRD exhaust. I've read over on the fj owners site that it causes quite the "drone" at hiway speeds..... but whoever said you put on a different exhaust to keep quiet??
And judging by the number of fj owners that are modding them on their own, i'd say this pkg from Toyota is more for someone who prefers to write the one check and be done with it. But still should look pretty sharp....

 

Yeah, but you get a black roof!

 

sounds like they're marketing a well designed product with warranty to some people who want limited production ones.

 

my dad has one ill have 2 post some pics...its lifted 33" tires custom painted top, custom painted roof rack and side steps, front skid plate, extra spare tire on the back, really nice sound system with touch screen head unit, annd its really really nice...i think he jsut got new trd exhaust, cold air intake, and grill

so illl have 2 to post pics

 

^ sounds awfully sexy!!

 

Yes, sounds very nice! Please post pics ASAP for drooling!

 

The only thing you are really getting out of the ordinary is the paint job, traction control change (which I think can be done simply as mentioned above) and shocks. Everything else mentioned is already available with thier upgrade packages. But, it is not bad for the paint I guess. You can get a 4X4 with all of those options for about $30,000.

But the paint and shocks are a nice option. I love these vehicles and would seriously consider adding one to the cars if I wasnt in the process of preparing to buy a house. Definitely one of my favorite SUV's since the 4Runner.
