At Cruiserfest 2013, we announced the creation of Toyota Cruisers & Trucks Magazine!
When we started FJC Magazine in 2008, it was meant mostly as a hobby and as a healthy way for me to deal with my FJ Cruiser 'problem'. In 2011, we started Tacoma Magazine to show some of that same love to the Tacoma truck platform. Both have been very successufl and have helped our team build the experience we need to take this project to the next level.
TCT Magazine, will include 5 issues per year (Jan-April-July-Sept+Year in Review in November), and will continue to be available as a free PDF download. Additionally, printed subscriptions of TCT Magazine are currently for sale for $25/year for 5 issues, US Subscribers can Order Now!. A fully interactive TCT Magazine app for all popular tablet and smartphone platforms will be available in early 2014.
The goal of TCT is to cover Land Cruisers new & old, 4Runners, FJ Cruisers, Tacomas, Tundras & all other toyota trucks and SUVs. The new publication will also cover the great things people are doing with Lexus LX & GX platforms, and all international models such as the Prado, Hilux and 70 series.
