2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Details

Days after Japanese manufacturer Toyota announced quite a hefty increase in price for the 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser, the carmaker comes back on the model in an attempt to soften the blow caused by the $1,110 hike in price: the 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser Trail Teams special edition.

Not the first Trail Teams edition of its kind, this special FJ Cruiser is surely the most technologically advanced. Packing the usual 4.0l V6 engine (260 horsepower and 271 lb.-ft. of torque) and a choice of a six-speed manual transmission or an automatic five-speed, the special FJ Cruiser brings more changes to the equipment levels than to the performances.

The SUV comes with some new technology related features, including new audio systems (with a JBL Premium) one standard iPod connectivity and XM Satellite Radio. For the special edition, the power side mirrors feature illumination markers, while the auto-dimming rear-view mirror comes equipped with a backup camera monitor.

The interior of the model comes in green fabric seat inserts and door trim. The Trail Teams edition comes with a "floating ball" type multi-information display, remote keyless entry, cruise control and a rear privacy glass.

The price for the special edition model has not yet been announced, but we do know how much the Japanese carmaker will ask for the regular models. The 2011 FJ, which also comes with Smart Stop technology, has a starting price of in between $25,090 (for the 2WD model) to $26,680 (for the 4WD model with automatic transmission). As said, those prices are over $1,000 higher than the prices asked for the previous model year.
