'09 FJ Cruiser Details Announced

Toyota announced a few details about the 2009 FJ Cruiser today. We don't get red or green truck just yet, but there are some cool things coming.

We really like the VSC cutoff switch, active driver & front passenger headrests, map light, and roll-sensing side airbags. Toyota did announce three new colors: non-metallic black, silver, and white. While this may make the '08 TT Edition less 'special', hopefully it'll allow the rest of us to buy black mirrors and bezels.

The base price for the 4x4 FJ will rise to $24,910, still a great deal for such a capable vehicle. We can only hope for a red or green '09 special edition at this point. The new FJ's should be arriving sometime after August 25th, so look for a first-look in our October issue of FJC Magazine.
