Off-Road Truck in Grand Junction, CO
Living in Colorado gives us some very unique opportunities for some outdoor fun. Granted it’s a little late in the season for skiing, but if you have the right vehicle getting off the beaten path and looking at some of the amazing scenery in our area sounds like a worthwhile adventure, we at Western Slope Auto present to you the 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser as an off-road truck in Grand Junction, CO. Toyota is generally known for producing reliable vehicles with a heavy emphasis on fuel-economy. The Toyota FJ Cruiser is an outlier in the Toyota lineup, and that makes it all the more intriguing.
It should be no real secret that the vaunted Jeep Wrangler is the gold standard by which an off-road truck in Grand Junction, CO is judged. However, unless you plan to spend the huge bulk of your time tearing up trails and getting dirty, the Jeep Wrangler isn’t very practical as an everyday driver. Just based on a quick glance, the Toyota FJ Cruiser in Grand Junction, CO has a strong advantage over the Wrangler in terms of vehicle security with an actual roof versus that of the Wrangler which has a cloth cover if it has one at all. While the Toyota FJ Cruiser is more at home where the sidewalk ends, so to speak, it is more practical than the Wrangler in terms of safety scores and maneuverability around town.
To show how serious Toyota was about making a factory built off-road truck in Grand Junction, CO, the interior of the FJ Cruiser would be considered stark by today’s luxury standards. It is not meant to be babied. The 2013 FJ Cruiser comes with the basics, powered accessories, air conditioning and an adjustable driver’s seat. However, the cloth upholstery of the seats is water-resistant and the floors are covered with heavy-duty vinyl so getting in the truck with muddy boots isn’t a too much of a concern. Nor should it be.
There is only one trim of the Toyota FJ Cruiser that comes powered by a 4.0-liter, V-6 engine that gets 260-horsepower. You will have the option of adding one of two four-wheel drive modes. One is a part-time system that comes with a five-speed automatic or a full-time four-wheel drive option with a six-speed manual transmission and a locking rear differential for when the trail truly gets ugly.
