The Toyota FJ Cruiser is a compact SUV that premiered as a concept car at the 2003 Chicago Auto Show before debuting at the North American International Auto Show in its final production design and hitting the market as a 2007 model. The vehicle has a classic design that pays homage to the 1960s FJ40.
