Toyota has released their December 2009 sales figures. FJ Cruiser sales continue to climb, but are not yet at their 2008 levels. From what we've heard new FJ's are still hard to find at most dealers, so most people are paying a premium for them.

For Dec 2009, Toyota reported 1,603 FJ Cruisers sold, which is down from the 2008 number by over 1,000. This brings the total 2009 FJ Cruiser sales number to 11,935, again far below the 28,688 sold in 2008. Still, it's good to see sales numbers on the rebound. In Nov 2009 Toyota reported just 1,108 FJ Cruisers sold.

Despite the re-print of a VERY old rumor on Yahoo Autos that the FJ has been discountinued, Toyota has not made any official announcements regarding the FJ Cruiser. Toyota FJ Cruiser sales are similar to the Sequoia, so we expect that they'll continue to see the FJ as a 'niche' vehicle for some time.

The full press release can be found here.

Toyota has launched a new website, http://www.trailtracker.com/ that allows you to share your GPS trail data, as well as photos of your trip.

It looks like this could be a great service to help keep track of the trails you've run, and discover new trails. Check it out today!

Our favorite Expedition Wheeling author Lance Blair is at the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas and sent over a quick update on a few FJ's. Check it out!

"SEMA has started with a bang, yes we have a recession but clearly don't have a depression as many companies have new products or are making improvements to current product lines. We've  only been able to escape the Disabled Explorers booth for a short amount of time but it's obvious that there's no “hot” rig this year. As always there are plenty of Jeeps present, but the Toyota Tundra, and a few Ford trucks are also around. The FJ Cruiser seems to have fallen off the map a bit in that we've only found a few examples of feature or booth vehicles. My hope is that we will find more FJC's and more parts for our beloved rig's before the show is over on Friday.

And now to the pictures:"
